Clearance Requirements
The 3.3V Pentium OverDrive Processor comes with a heat
sink mounted on top. To maintain proper airflow once the
upgrade is installed on the system board, the processor and
heatsink require certain space clearances.
The clearance above 3.3V Pentium OverDrive Processor's
fan/heatsink must be at least 0.4 inches. The clearance on at
least 3 of 4 sides of the processor must be at least 0.2 inches.
The cables (for floppy drive, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc.)
must be routed clear of the CPU and its airspace.
Fan Exhaust
The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan exhaust
configuration in connection with the heatsink. The
temperature of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot exceed
45°C (113°F). The ambient or room temperature must be
below 37°C (99°F) for a system installed with the 3.3V
Pentium Upgrade Processor.
In order to provide proper airflow to the CPU, all movable
obstructions (power supply cables, cards, floppy disk cables)
must be clear of the CPU fan/heatsink component in
accordance with the space clearance discussed in the CPU
installation section of this manual.
