5.3 Thermal Considerations
IMPORTANT!
• 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 system.
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or
sy
stem design remains solely with the system integrator. ASUS makes
no warranties or representations that merely following the instructions
presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal
performance.
• Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the system’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 Environmental section.
• Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage
regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in shorter than expected
product lifetime.
