Figure 98 shows the airflow management in a system using the
ATX form-factor. The orientation of the power supply fan and
the motherboard are modified in the ATX platform design. The
power supply fan pulls cool air through the chassis and across
the processor. The processor is located near the power supply
fan, where it can receive adequate airflow without an auxiliary
fan. The arrangement significantly improves the airflow across
the processor with minimum installation cost.
