NVIDIA developer kits rated to operate above 35°C for a 45°C lab

Asked as: “Our test lab gets to about 45°C in summer. Is any NVIDIA developer kit rated to operate above 35°C?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

No. None of NVIDIA's own developer kits is rated to operate above 35°C, so for a lab that reaches about 45°C you'd need to look at partner-built developer kits.

NVIDIA's own developer kits

Four NVIDIA kits list an operating range, and all four top out at 35°C:

  • Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit: 0–35°C developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=35 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=0 °C”
  • Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit 64GB: 0–35°C nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=35 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=0 °C”
  • Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit: 0–35°C nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=35 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=0 °C”
  • IGX Orin Developer Kit: 5–35°C nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=35 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=5 °C”

I couldn't find an operating temperature rating for the other six: Jetson AGX Xavier, Jetson Xavier NX, Jetson Nano, Jetson TX2, IGX Thor Developer Kit and IGX Thor Developer Kit Mini. I can't say whether they'd work at 45°C.

Partner developer kits rated for 45°C or more

59 partner developer kits are rated to at least 45°C. The 30 below are the ones I checked in detail, and the other 29 aren't shown here. One of the 59 is rated at exactly 45°C, which leaves you no margin, but I didn't see which one. Every kit in this table is rated to 60°C or higher.

Some ratings only hold under conditions, which are shown in the last column. "Needs airflow" means the rating assumes air moving through the unit, so check that your lab setup provides it.

These are the manufacturers' headline operating ratings, which are usually ambient temperatures. For a 45°C lab, the kits rated 65–80°C with no stated condition give you the most room.

If you tell me which Jetson module or performance level you need, I can narrow the full 59 to a short list.
