Table 22 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 22. Thermal Considerations for Components
Component Maximum Case Temperature
Processor For processor case temperature, see processor datasheets and processor
specification updates
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 23. 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.
