Technical Reference 2.12 Thermal Considerations CAUTION The use of an Intel Pentium 4 processor operating above 2.80 GHz with this Intel desktop board requires the following: • A chassis with appropriate airflow to ensure proper cooling of the components on the board • A processor fan heatsink that meets the thermal performance targets for Pentium 4 processors operating above 2.80 GHz 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 desktop board. For a list of chassis that have been tested with Intel desktop boards please refer to the following website: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/cooling.htm 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 Desktop Board D845PEBT2'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 Section 2.14. CAUTION Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit. The processor voltage regulator area (item A in Figure 23) can reach a temperature of up to 85 °C in an open chassis. 83
