Contact your local Intel sales office or your distributor to obtain the latest specifications and before placing your product order. Copies of documents which have an order number and are referenced in this document, or other Intel literature, may be obtained by calling 1-800-548-4725, or by visiting Intel's website at http://www.intel.com.
The goals of this document are to: ® Outline the thermal and Mechanical operating limits and specifications for the Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub component. ® Describe a reference thermal solution that meets the specification of Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub component.
The reader of this specification should also be familiar with material and concepts presented in the following documents: Intel® 82801EB I/O Controller Hub 5 (ICH5) and Intel® 82801ER I/O Controller Hub 5 R (ICH5R) Datasheet Intel® 82801EB I/O Controller Hub 5 (ICH5) and Intel® 82801ER I/O Controller Hub 5 R (ICH5R) Thermal Design Guide Intel®6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub (PXH) Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide...
For TDP specifications, see Table 3-1 for the PXH component. Flip chip ball grid array (FC-BGA) packages have poor heat transfer capability into the board and have minimal thermal capability without a thermal solution. Intel recommends that system designers plan for a heatsink when using the PXH component.

The system designer must make temperature measurements to accurately determine the thermal performance of the system. Intel has established guidelines for proper techniques to measure the PXH die temperatures. Section 5.1 provides guidelines on how to accurately measure the PXH die temperatures.
Reference Thermal Solution Intel has developed one reference thermal solution to meet the cooling needs of the PXH component under operating environments and specifications defined in this document. This chapter describes the overall requirements for the reference thermal solution including critical-to-function dimensions, operating environment, and validation criteria.
When using heatsinks that extend beyond the PXH reference heatsink envelope shown in Figure 6-2Figure 6-2Figure 6-2, any motherboard components placed between the heatsink and motherboard cannot exceed 2.40 mm (0.094 in.) in height. ® Figure 6-2. Torsional Clip Heatsink Volumetric Envelope for the Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub Chipset Component 3.01mm.
Other heatsinks with similar dimensions and increased thermal performance may be available. Full mechanical drawing of this heatsink is provided in Appendix B. 6.5.3 Mechanical Interface Material There is no mechanical interface material associated with this reference solution. ® Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines...
The reference solution uses a wire clip with hooked ends. The hooks attach to wire anchors to fasten the clip to the board. See Appendix B for a mechanical drawing of the clip. ® Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines...
6.5.6 Clip Retention Anchors ® For Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub-based platforms that have very limited board space, a clip retention anchor has been developed to minimize the impact of clip retention on the board. It is based on a standard three-pin jumper and is soldered to the board like any common through-hole header.
