As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation. And with CPU speed constantly increasing, improper cooling of the system
as a whole can lead to permanent damage. Our motherboard has an unique design –
ISM (Intelligent Shutdown Master
) to provide prefect protections right at the very
moment the system cooling should fail, please make good use of it! The following is an
excerpt from a warning AMD released on such issue:
The new PGA (Pin Grid Array) AMD Athlon™ and AMD Duron™ processors have
very different thermal specifications from any preceding AMD processor. Due to
these differences, the AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors should NEVER run
without a cooler, not even for a few seconds. Doing so will cause the processor to
overheat and fail immediately, resulting in permanent damage. While testing a
processor by booting it up for several seconds without a cooler installed may be
common industry practice, it should never be attempted with the new PGA AMD
Athlon and AMD Duron processors…..
Typically the CPU cooler Assembly comes with FAN (Some with 2 FANS), but even
so, the system cooling can deteriorate within a certain period of time. This will result
in permanent damage to the processor and potentially other key components within the
system. Our powerful
ISM (Intelligent Shutdown Master)
function
will smartly
cut off the power supply once the cooling fan fails and safely secure your CPU and
main board against possible damages.
