The temperature threshold for trigering the fan should be way below<br>
the temperature required to trigger a throttling of the cpu ...<br>
therefore; either your case is poor design, you haven't fitted the<br>
mandatory fan for the DualCore Ion platform, the system isnt setup<br>
right (maybe it isnt perfect out of the box Ion is a fairly new<br>
platform) or simply the Zotac MB is a poor design.<br>

google is your friend.<br>
