OVERDRIVE® PROCESSOR SOCKET SPECIFICATION
If an OEM fan/heatsink is used, then electrical connections between the OEM fan/heatsink
and system must be through an end user separable connector.
If an OEM fan/heatsink is used, removal of the assembly must not interfere with the
operation of the OverDrive processor, for example, by activating cooling failure protection
mechanisms employed by the OEM.
Custom attachment features in addition to the features covered in Section 17.2.2.3.,
"Socket 8 Clip Attachment Tabs" must not interfere with attachment of the upgrade
retention clips.
17.5.3. OverDrive
The OverDrive Voltage Regulator Module will be shipped with a passive heat sink. Voltage
regulator case temperature must not exceed 105°C. The ambient temperature, T A , required
to properly cool the VRM can be estimated from the following section.

17.5.4. Thermal Equations and Data

The OverDrive Voltage Regulator Module requires that T C does not exceed 105°C. T C is mea-
sured on the surface of the hottest component of the VRM. To calculate T A values for the VRMs
at different flow rates, the following equations and data may be used:
Where, T A and T C = Ambient and Case temperature, respectively. (°C)
Q CA = Case-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (°C/Watt)
P = Maximum Power Consumption (Watt)
