Note:

Use a processor heatsink that provides omni-directional airflow (similar to the type 

shown in 

Section 1.8.1.2

) to maintain required airflow across the processor voltage 

regulator area. 

Note:

When using BIOS Setup program options to increase processor voltage and frequency 

above the supported ranges, the temperature in the processor voltage regulator area 

rises. This area of the CRB requires increased airflow. Direct airflow over the processor 

voltage regulator is crucial to preventing throttling and keeping the processor voltage 

regulator area cool. This is particularly important when using liquid cooling. 

Note:

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 results in a system with 

adequate thermal performance.
