LFM, CFM requirements on pc cards
LFM, CFM requirements on pc cards
(OP)
Hello,
Just a quick question regarding airflow specs on various cards meant for insertion into a pc: the datasheets will state something like 100 lfm required at a certain temp. Does this number refer to what should be entering the system, or what should be moving at the card itself?
Thank you,
cherkey

Why would a manufacturer gamble on this requirement, knowing that some other, unrelated card might block off or otherwise steal his cooling air?

Most PCs, of course, don't all into that category.
The VXI standard for VME does include such air flow considerations.
