Power budget
Before choosing a power supply, it is recommended that you always create a power budget for
your system. A sample power budget for the Q35 motherboards populated with processor,
memory, expansion cards, etc. are shown below.
Note: These sample values may not apply to to your system.
Environmental specifications
All Q35 motherboards comply with the following environmental specifications.
