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. 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 14 Jan 2013, Alan Adamson wrote:
If you check the actual specifications, they are good to 55c in a sealed container and are good to 85C in any form of exposed. The intel chipset is good to 115C.
so unless you have a really nasty environment, I suspect they will work just fine...

Yup - these Atom processors will just shut down if they get too hot. I found that out once by accident. I suspect that the no-fans-needed concept refers to use in a climate controlled environment.

Randy, The MOBO specs state environmental temp max is 104ยบ. I know our Mtn site exceeds that temp during summer temps and premature failure may be an issue. Make sure you check your environmental specs before deploying to a remote site.
