ANAGEMENT
The VID31x60ER/ VID34x60ER are provided with an active heat sink solution to provide thermal cooling for the GPU. It uses auto
fan control to the heat sink fan, allowing the fan to only run when needed. The GPU uses internal thermal monitoring to throttle the
processor and memory when it exceeds its thermal limit. This thermal limit cannot be modified.
In order to maintain maximum performance over the full temperature range, it is recommended that a PCIe spacer be used between
the VID31x60ER/VID34x60ER and any board immediately above it.
