The ATOM includes intel's Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA). As such the majority share of the whole-ATOM's (CPU/GPU/GMA) rated maximum thermal dissipation includes and is a result of video/graphics processing. As a node, typically operating headless or text based console only, the CPU work load -- by itself -- shouldn't hit total thermal dissipation threshold when the GMA work load is idle/low. Not saying ATOM cannot over temp. on CPU side of the chip's silicon, but with the GMA at or near idle i don't think you need to loose sleep that a QUALITY mobo+case combination's heatsinking and passive convection cooling will fail you. Mount it with due regard to heat-rises chimney effect. Common sense placement/awareness -- Don't let the heat blast of a nearby device blow its hot air at the mobo-case; cooler (intake) air is usually at/near the floor vs on top of the power amp.; et cetera /S ————— iThing: Big thumbs & little keys.

Fanless, built in DC Power supply 8V-19V DC., msata. Seems perfect for a repeater site. I'm going to try it unless someone has, and tells me they tried it and it didn't work :-) http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1251-page2.html -Randy _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
