![]() Additional and split 12-volt power are required.įor more about power supply specifications, check the Form Factors website.Serial ATA (SATA) connectors are required.The power supply design specifications for the Intel® 945 Express Chipset-based (and later) Intel® Desktop Boards include: The SRM is expected to be shipped with the BTX-compatible chassis. The SRM is a metal plate that is assembled to the chassis under the motherboard to give structural support for the motherboard and retention for the thermal module. It is needed to make sure that airflow exiting the thermal module cannot recirculate and re-enter the thermal module interface opening. This is a ducting feature connecting the front of the thermal module to a front vent. Also, a thermal module interface might be required. Selecting a chassis that supports the chosen board size is critical.Ī BTX-compatible chassis requires built-in features to attach the support and retention module (SRM-defined below). The BTX form factor requires a unique chassis designed specifically for BTX. Boxed Intel Processors ship with a heatsink that supplies appropriate airflow for the processor and nearby board components.įailure to use a fan heatsink and a chassis with appropriate airflow can result in reduced performance or, in some instances, damage to the motherboard. The fan heatsink must deliver appropriate airflow for the processor and nearby board components. Intel suggests that you use a thermally advantaged chassis (TAC) that maintains an internal ambient temperature below 38 degrees (Celsius) and meets the thermal specifications for boxed Intel® Processors. ![]() Chassis for platforms based on Intel® Processors must have an ATX12V power supply and improved ventilation. ![]()
