(1) Horizontal – ⇒ board flat on the bench, no proper convection = worst case
(2) Vertical – ⇒ board upright on the bench, fins vertical = natural convection
(3) Vertical with airflow – ⇒ forced cooling < 0.5 m/s = best case
(4) The red cell indicates the highest temperature under the given conditions.
