Intel Desktop Board D425KT Product Guide
CAUTION
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board.
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design remains solely with the reader. Intel makes no warranties or representations that merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal performance.
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental specifications in the Intel Desktop Board Technical Product Specification.
CAUTION
The board is designed to be passively cooled on a properly ventilated chassis. Chassis venting locations are recommended over the processor, voltage regulator, and system memory areas for maximum heat dissipation effectiveness.
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained around the processor, processor voltage regulator circuit, and the DIMM. Failure to do so may result in damage to these components.
CAUTION
A thermal rating of 85 oC is required for the DIMMs used on this board.
