Technical Reference Table 26 provides maximum case temperatures for the components that are sensitive to thermal changes. The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency could affect case temperatures. Maximum case temperatures are important when considering proper airflow to cool the board. Table 26. Thermal Considerations for Components Component Maximum Case Temperature Processor For processor case temperature, see processor datasheets and processor specification updates Intel P55 Express Chipset 111 oC To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in Table 26. This is a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal Design Power (TDP is specified as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by the components). When the component is dissipating less than TDP, the case temperature should be below the Maximum Case Temperature. The surface temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to Case Temperature. It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a value reported by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly correspond to the Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when monitoring this thermal sensor is Tcontrol. Table 34.

To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation
when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in
Table 26. This is a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal
Design Power (TDP is specified as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by
the components). When the component is dissipating less than TDP, the case
temperature should be below the Maximum Case Temperature. The surface
temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to Case
Temperature.
It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a
value reported by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly
correspond to the Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when
monitoring this thermal sensor is Tcontrol.
