In this document when a reference is made to "the processor" it is intended that this
includes all the processors supported by this document. If needed for clarity, the
specific processor will be listed.
In this document, when a reference is made to "the reference design" it is intended
that this includes all ATX reference designs (RCFH-4, RCBFH-3, and D60188-001)
supported by this document. If needed for clarity, the specific reference design will be
listed.
In this document, when a reference is made to "the datasheet", the reader should
refer to the Intel
®
Intel Core™2 Quad Processor Q6000 Sequence Datasheet and the Intel
Extreme Processor QX9000 Series and Intel
Q8000, and Q8000S Series Datasheet as appropriate.
In this document, for the Intel
at 65 W thermal solution, refer to the Intel
Series and Intel
Design Guide (TMDG), as appropriate.
Chapter 2 of this document discusses package thermal mechanical requirements to
design a thermal solution for the processor in the context of personal computer
applications. Chapter 3 discusses the thermal solution considerations and metrology
recommendations to validate a processor thermal solution.
Chapter 4 addresses the benefits of the processor's integrated thermal management
logic for thermal design. Chapter 5 provides information on the Intel reference
thermal solution for the processor. Chapter 6 discusses the implementation of acoustic
fan speed control.
