 ** Temperature Monitoring
 
-The CPU and 10GbE Phy have passive heatsinks to allow better cooling on these devices. Typical CPU temperature rise is around 8 degrees over ambient when running a moderate load. When installing M.2 cards in the GW3089 make sure to take cooling into consideration. Most NVME and AI accelerators recommend some type of heatsink. 
-
-The narrow width of the GW3089 enclosure will only allow an 8 to 9mm heatsink (depending on height of devices on the M.2 card). When installing heatsinks make sure to align the fins to maximize cooling with the air flowing from the front to rear of the enclosure.

+When installing M.2 cards in the GW3089 make sure to take cooling into consideration. Most NVME and AI accelerators recommend some type of heatsink. The narrow width of the GW3089 enclosure will only allow around a 8mm or less tall heatsink on the M.2 card (depending on height of devices on the card). When installing heatsinks make sure to align the fins to maximize cooling with the air flowing from the front to rear of the enclosure. Some low cost, small copper heatsinks for M.2 cards can be found here: [https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/dfrobot/FIT0506/6588430?s=N4IgTCBcDaIIwHYDMAOAtHADJlIC6AvkA Link]
 
 The GW8901 uses standard Linux cooling-maps, thermal-zones and the pwm-fan driver. There are several temperature sensors on the board, identified as 'thermal_zones'. These are shown in Linux under /sys/class/thermal:
