    Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information Mechanical Requirements 2.1.1 Processor Package The processors covered in the document are packaged in a 775-Land LGA package that interfaces with the motherboard using a LGA775 socket. Refer to the datasheet for detailed mechanical specifications. The processor connects to the motherboard through a land grid array (LGA) surface mount socket.
  • Page 14 Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information The primary function of the IHS is to transfer the non-uniform heat distribution from the die to the top of the IHS, out of which the heat flux is more uniform and spread over a larger surface area (not the entire IHS area). This allows more efficient heat transfer out of the package to an attached cooling device.

    Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information 2.1.2 Heatsink Attach 2.1.2.1 General Guidelines There are no features on the LGA775 socket to directly attach a heatsink: a mechanism must be designed to attach the heatsink directly to the motherboard. In addition to holding the heatsink in place on top of the IHS, this mechanism plays a significant role in the robustness of the system in which it is implemented, in particular: •...

For BTX platforms, a front-to-back cooling design equivalent to Intel BTX TMA Type II reference design (see the Chapter 5) should be designed to manage the processor TDP at an inlet temperature of 35 °C + 0.5 °C = 35.5 °C.

    This is achieved in part by using the Ψ versus RPM and RPM versus Acoustics (dBA) performance curves from the Intel enabled thermal solution. A thermal solution designed to meet the thermal profile would be expected to provide similar acoustic performance of different parts with potentially different T values.

    Processor Thermal/Mechanical Information required to meet a required performance. As the heatsink fin density (the number of fins in a given cross-section) increases, the resistance to the airflow increases: it is more likely that the air travels around the heatsink instead of through it, unless air bypass is carefully managed.

  • Page 27: Processor Thermal Solution Performance Assessment

    Assessment Thermal performance of a heatsink should be assessed using a thermal test vehicle (TTV) provided by Intel. The TTV is a stable heat source that the user can make accurate power measurement, whereas 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.
  • Page 28 Thermal Metrology For active heatsinks, it is important to avoid taking measurement in the dead flow zone that usually develops above the fan hub and hub spokes. Measurements should be taken at four different locations uniformly placed at the center of the annulus formed by the fan hub and the fan housing to evaluate the uniformity of the air temperature at the fan inlet.

    Thermal Management Logic and Thermal Monitor Feature A system designed to meet the thermal profile specification published in the processor datasheet greatly reduces the probability of real applications causing the thermal control circuit to activate under normal operating conditions. Systems that do not meet these specifications could be subject to more frequent activation of the thermal control circuit depending upon ambient air temperature and application power profile.

  • Page 89: Thermocouple Attach Procedure

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology Thermocouple Attach Procedure The procedure to attach a thermocouple with solder takes about 15 minutes to complete. Before proceeding turn on the solder block heater, as it can take up to 30 minutes to reach the target temperature of 153 – 155 °C. Note: To avoid damage to the processor ensure the IHS temperature does not exceed 155 °C.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 9. Lift the wire at the middle of groove with tweezers and bend the front of wire to place the thermocouple in the groove ensuring the tip is in contact with the end and bottom of the groove in the IHS (Figure 7-19-A and B). Figure 7-19.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 11. While still at the microscope, press the wire down about 6mm [0.125”] from the thermocouple bead using the tweezers or your finger. Place a piece of Kapton* tape to hold the wire inside the groove (Figure 7-20). Refer to Figure 7-21 for detailed bead placement.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 14. Using a fine point device, place a small amount of flux on the thermocouple bead. Be careful not to move the thermocouple bead during this step (Figure 7-24). Ensure the flux remains in the bead area only. Figure 7-24.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 16. Place the two pieces of solder in parallel, directly over the thermocouple bead (Figure 7-26). Figure 7-26. Positioning Solder on IHS 17. Measure the resistance from the thermocouple end wires again using the DMM (refer to Section D.5.1.step 2) to ensure the bead is still properly contacting the IHS.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology Figure 7-27. Solder Station Setup 21. Remove the land side protective cover and place the device to be soldered in the solder station. Make sure the thermocouple wire for the device being soldered is exiting the heater toward you. Note: Do not touch the copper heater block at any time as this is very hot.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 24. You may need to move the solder back toward the groove as the IHS begins to heat. Use a fine tip tweezers to push the solder into the end of the groove until a solder ball is built up (Figure 7-28 and Figure 7-29). Figure 7-28.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 25. Lift the heater block and magnified lens, using tweezers quickly rotate the device 90 degrees clockwise. Using the back of the tweezers press down on the solder this will force out the excess solder. Figure 7-30. Removing Excess Solder 26.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology 31. Fill the rest of the groove with Loctite* 498 Adhesive. Verify under the microscope that the thermocouple wire is below the surface along the entire length of the IHS groove (Figure 7-33). Figure 7-33. Filling Groove with Adhesive 32.

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology Figure 7-35. Removing Excess Adhesive from IHS 33. Using a blade, carefully shave any adhesive that is above the IHS surface (Figure 7-35). The preferred method is to shave from the edge to the center of the IHS.
  • Page 102: Thermocouple Wire Management

    Case Temperature Reference Metrology Thermocouple Wire Management When installing the processor into the socket, the thermocouple wire should route under the socket lid, as Figure 7-37. This will keep the wire from getting damaged or pinched when removing and installing the heatsink. Note: When thermocouple wires are damaged, the resulting reading maybe wrong.

    Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) System Thermal Considerations Appendix E Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) System Thermal Considerations There are anticipated system operating conditions in which the processor power may be low but other system component powers may be high. If the only Fan Speed Control (FSC) circuit input for the Thermal Module Assembly (TMA) fan is from the processor sensor then the fan speed and system airflow is likely to be too low in this operating state.
