    2.1.2.3 Additional Guidelines In addition to the general guidelines given above, the heatsink attach mechanism for the Celeron D processor in the 775-land LGA package should be designed to the following guidelines: • Holds the heatsink in place under mechanical shock and vibration events and applies force to the heatsink base to maintain desired pressure on the thermal interface material.
  • Page 12: Processor Case Temperature And Power Dissipation

    Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information Intel has introduced a new method for specifying the thermal limits for the Celeron D Processor in the 775-Land LGA Package. The new parameters are the Thermal Profile and T . The CONTROL Thermal Profile defines the maximum case temperature as a function of power being dissipated.

    61 °C. Contact your Intel sales representative for assistance in processor power measurement. For the Intel Celeron D Processor in the 775-Land LGA Package, there are two thermal profiles to consider. The Platform Requirement Bit (PRB) indicates which thermal profile is appropriate for a specific processor.
  • Page 14: Heatsink Design Considerations

    This is achieved in part by using the vs. RPM and RPM vs. Acoustics (dBA) performance curves from the Intel enabled thermal solution. A thermal solution designed to meet the thermal profile should perform virtually the same for any value of T .
  • Page 15: Heatsink Size

    The recommended maximum heatsink weight for the Celeron D processor in the 775-land LGA package is 450g for the ATX form factor. This weight includes the fan and the heatsink only. The attach mechanism (clip, fasteners, etc.) is not included.
  • Page 16: Thermal Interface Material

    Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information Intel recommends testing and validating heatsink performance in full mechanical enabling configuration to capture any impact of IHS flatness change due to combined socket and heatsink loading. While socket loading alone may increase the IHS warpage, the heatsink preload redistributes the load on the package and improves the resulting IHS flatness in the enabled state.
  • Page 17 To ease the burden on thermal solutions, the Thermal Monitor feature and associated logic have been integrated into the silicon of the Celeron D Processor in the 775-land LGA package. By taking advantage of the Thermal Monitor feature, system designers may reduce thermal solution cost by designing to TDP instead of maximum power.

  • Page 20: Processor Thermal Solution Performance Assessment

    Thermal performance of a heatsink should be assessed using a thermal test vehicle (TTV) provided by Intel. The TTV is a well-characterized thermal tool, whereas real processors can introduce additional factors that can impact test results. In particular, the power level from actual processors varies significantly, even when running the maximum power application provided by Intel, due to variances in the manufacturing process.
