RTX Express Summary
 
Thermally Advantaged Chassis version 1.1 (TAC 1.1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

Intel recommends using a Thermally Advantaged Chassis version 1.1 (TAC 1.1).

These chassis are designed to provide an ambient system temperature of 38°C. The chassis cover provides an air duct above the processor, which allows cool air to be directed at the processor and the heatsink fan which will also cool the components around the processor.

Typically, a TAC 1.1 chassis also provides a vent over the graphics card area, to bring cool air to the video adapter.

Any thermally advantaged chassis must also have at least two chassis fans (one at the front and one at the rear) to ensure that the ambient system temperature remains around 38°C.
