[App_rpt-users] Intel DN2800MT - 12V DC Powered Mobo (Randy Neals)

[David McGough]

Hi everyone,

Okay, well, I might as well toss in my $0.02!

I've found the weak-point on many of the Atom MB's to be the
southbridge/VGA controller. Many boards don't include heatsinks on these
chips and they run *hot* --even headless, in text mode.  But, there is a
simple solution! Just apply a small adhesive attached heatsink (available
on Ebay). I've been using this trick for a few years now with no MB
failures whatsoever...Also, in very hot industrial areas, I'll put a small
fan in the case (Ebay) to move the air around. This helps, too.
