1 Introduction As the complexity of computer systems increases, so do the power dissipation requirements. Care must be taken to ensure that the additional power is properly dissipated. Typical methods to improve heat dissipation include selective use of ducting, and/or passive heatsinks. The goals of this document are to: ® • Outline the thermal and mechanical operating limits and specifications for the Intel E8500 ® chipset North Bridge (NB) component and the Intel E8500 chipset eXternal Mem

2 Packaging Technology ® The E8500 chipsets consist of four individual components: the NB, the XMB, the Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub and the I/O controller hub (ICH5r). The E8500 chipset NB component use a 42.5 mm squared, 12-layer flip chip ball grid array (FC-BGA) package (see Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-3). The E8500 chipset XMB component uses a 37.5mm squared, 10-layer FB-BGA package (see Figure 2-4 through Figure 2-6). For information on the Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI ® Hub package, refe

3 Thermal Specifications 3.1 Thermal Design Power (TDP) Analysis indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the E8500 chipset NB/XMB components to consume maximum power dissipation for sustained time periods. Therefore, in order to arrive at a more realistic power level for thermal design purposes, Intel characterizes power consumption based on known platform benchmark applications. The resulting power consumption is referred to as the Thermal Design Power (TDP). TDP is the targe

5 Thermal Metrology 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 NB/XMB die temperatures. Section 5.1 provides guidelines on how to accurately measure the NB/XMB die temperatures. Section 5.2 contains information on running an application program that will emulate anticipated maximum thermal design power. The flowchart in Figure 5-1 offers useful gui
