  • Page 19 Subject 2: Suggestion on choosing electric fan Both the amount of electric current to MOSFET and the heat produced from the motherboard go up as AMD’s CPU power consumption increases. In this case we recommend users select a CPU fan with air outlet towards MOSFET so that CPU fan can carry away heat produced by MOSFET, for better heat dissipation effects.
  • Page 20 Subject 3: Thunder Protection Feature Introduction: Thunder is such formidable natural force that it can render massive damage to electronic products of all kinds. In thunderstorm season computer systems without powerful thunder protection designs are vulnerable to electric surge damage. High-priced building with thunder protection measures may be a good choice, but usually costly and with corners uncovered.
