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.
