2.16 Operating Temperature and Temperature Control
The maximum and minimum operating temperatures for the 3301690 CPU Board are
listed below.
„
Minimum Operating Temperature: 0ºC (32°F)
„
Maximum Operating Temperature: 60°C (140°F)
A cooling fan and heat sink must be installed on the CPU. The lower side of the heat sink,
which is mounted on the CPU must be smeared with thermal paste. This ensures the
proper dissipation of heat generated by the CPU.
Heat sinks are also mounted on the northbridge and southbridge chipsets to ensure that
the operating temperature of these chips remain low.
2.17 Optional Audio Interface
The 3301690 CPU board does not come with an onboard CODEC but the Intel ICH6
chipset Audio Codec (AC’97) controller. A connector on the CPU card can be used to
connect the ICH6 audio controllers to an external CODEC.
2.18 Power Consumption
Table 2-2shows the power consumption parameters for the 3301690 CPU board when a
Pentium 4 processor with a clock speed of 3.4GHz, an L2 cache of 2MB and a FSB
800MHz is running with two 1GB, 533MHz DDR modules.
