Date August 2006 § Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide 5 6 Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide Introduction 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® 3000 and 3010 chipsets memory controller hub (MCH). Describe a reference thermal solution that meets the specification of the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH. Properly designed thermal solutions provide adequate cooling to maintain the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH die temperatures at or below thermal specifications. This is accomplished by providing a low local-ambient temperature, ensuring adequate local airflow, and minimizing the die to local-ambient thermal resistance. By maintaining the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipset MCH die temperature at or below the specified limits, a system designer can ensure the proper functionality, performance, and reliability of the chipset. Operation outside the functional limits can degrade system performance and may cause permanent changes in the operating characteristics of the component. The simplest and most cost effective method to improve the inherent system cooling characteristics is through careful chassis design and placement of fans, vents, and ducts. When additional cooling is required, component thermal solutions may be implemented in conjunction with system thermal solutions. The size of the fan or heatsink can be varied to balance size and space constraints with acoustic noise. This document addresses thermal design and specifications for the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH components only.

The package is NOT capable of sustaining a dynamic or static compressive load applied to any edge of the bare die. These mechanical load limits must not be exceeded during heatsink installation, mechanical stress testing, standard shipping conditions and/or any other use condition. Notes: 1. The heatsink attach solutions must not include continuous stress onto the chipset package with the exception of a uniform load to maintain the heatsink-to-package thermal interface. 2. These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction perpendicular to the bare die top surface. 3. These specifications are based on limited testing for design characterization. Loading limits are for the package only. § Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide 11 Packaging Technology 12 Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide Thermal Specifications 3 Thermal Specifications 3.1 Thermal Design Power (TDP) Analysis indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the MCH component 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 target power level that the thermal solutions should be designed to. TDP is not the maximum power that the chipset can dissipate. For TDP specifications, see Table 3-1 and Table 3-1 for the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH. 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 Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets. 3.2 Die Case Temperature To ensure proper operation and reliability of the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH, the die temperatures must be at or between the maximum/minimum operating temperature ranges as specified in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. System and/or component level thermal solutions are required to maintain these temperature specifications. Refer to Chapter 5 for guidelines on accurately measuring package die temperatures.

The models are for use with the commercially available Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based thermal analysis tool FLOTHERM* (version 5.1 or higher) by Flomerics, Inc. Contact your Intel field sales representative to order the thermal models and user's guides. § Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide 15 Thermal Simulation 16 Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide Thermal Metrology 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 MCH die temperatures. Section 5.1 provides guidelines on how to accurately measure the MCH 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 guidelines for thermal performance and evaluation. 5.1 Die Temperature Measurements To ensure functionality and reliability, the Tcase of the MCH must be maintained at or between the maximum/minimum operating range of the temperature specification as noted in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. The surface temperature at the geometric center of the die corresponds to Tcase. Measuring Tcase requires special care to ensure an accurate temperature measurement. Temperature differences between the temperature of a surface and the surrounding local ambient air can introduce errors in the measurements. The measurement errors could be due to a poor thermal contact between the thermocouple junction and the surface of the package, heat loss by radiation and/or convection, conduction through thermocouple leads, and/or contact between the thermocouple cement and the heatsink base (if a heatsink is used). For maximize measurement accuracy, only the 0° thermocouple attach approach is recommended. 5.1.1 Zero Degree Angle Attach Methodology 1. Mill a 3.3 mm (0.13 in.) diameter and 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) deep hole centered on the bottom of the heatsink base. 2. Mill a 1.3 mm (0.05 in.) wide and 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) deep slot from the centered hole to one edge of the heatsink. The slot should be parallel to the heatsink fins (see Figure 5-25-2). 3. Attach thermal interface material (TIM) to the bottom of the heatsink base. 4. Cut out portions of the TIM to make room for the thermocouple wire and bead. The cutouts should match the slot and hole milled into the heatsink base. 5. Attach a 36 gauge or smaller calibrated K-type thermocouple bead or junction to the center of the top surface of the die using a high thermal conductivity cement. During this step, ensure no contact is present between the thermocouple cement and the heatsink base because any contact will affect the thermocouple reading. It is critical that the thermocouple bead makes contact with the die (see Figure 5-3). 6. Attach heatsink assembly to the MCH and route thermocouple wires out through the milled slot.

Power Simulation Software The power simulation software is a utility designed to dissipate the thermal design power on a Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH when used in conjunction with the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 series (1066 MHz). The combination of the above mentioned processor(s) and the higher bandwidth capability of the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets enable higher levels of system performance. To assess the thermal performance of the chipset MCH thermal solution under worst-case realistic application conditions, Intel is developing a software utility that operates the chipset at near worst-case thermal power dissipation. The power simulation software being developed should only be used to test thermal solutions at or near the thermal design power. Figure 5-1 shows a decision flowchart for determining thermal solution needs. Real world applications may exceed the thermal design power limit for transient time periods. For power supply current requirements under these transient conditions, please refer to each component's datasheet for the ICC (Max Power Supply Current) specification. Contact your Intel field sales representative to order the power utility and user's guides. § Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide 19 Thermal Metrology 20 Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide Reference Thermal Solution 6 Reference Thermal Solution Intel has developed a reference thermal solution to meet the cooling needs of the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH under operating environments and specifications defined in this document. This chapter describes the overall requirements for the Plastic Wave Soldering Heatsink (PWSH) reference thermal solution including criticalto-function dimensions, operating environment, and validation criteria. Other chipset components may or may not need attached thermal solutions, depending on your specific system local-ambient operating conditions. For information on the PXH/PXH-V, refer to thermal specification in the Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub/6702PXH 64-bit PCI Hub (PXH/PXH-V) Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines. For information on the ICH7, refer to thermal specification in the Intel® I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7) Thermal Design Guidelines. 6.1 Operating Environment The reference thermal solution was designed assuming a maximum local-ambient temperature of 55 °C. The minimum recommended airflow velocity through the crosssection of the heatsink fins is 350 linear feet per minute (lfm) for 1U system and 450 linear feet per minute (lfm) for 2U+ system. The approaching airflow temperature is assumed to be equal to the local-ambient temperature. The thermal designer must carefully select the location to measure airflow to obtain an accurate estimate. These local-ambient conditions are based on a 35 °C external-ambient temperature at sea level. (External-ambient refers to the environment external to the system.) 6.2 Heatsink Performance Figure 6-1 depicts the measured thermal performance of the reference thermal solution versus approach air velocity. Since this data was measured at sea level, a correction factor would be required to estimate thermal performance at other altitudes. Figure 6-1. Plastic Wave Soldering Heatsink Measured Thermal Performance versus Approach Velocity Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide 21 Reference Thermal Solution Heatsink test result is based on End of Life TIM performance, for worst case Heatsink performance with End of Life TIM, need to add +1.0C/W offset to Psi_ca. 6.3 Mechanical Design Envelope While each design may have unique mechanical volume and height restrictions or implementation requirements, the height, width, and depth constraints typically placed on the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets MCH thermal solution are shown in Figure 6-2. When using heatsinks that extend beyond the chipset MCH reference heatsink envelope shown in Figure 6-2, any motherboard components placed between the heatsink and motherboard cannot exceed 2.19 mm (0.09 in.) in height.

It is attached using a clip with each end hooked through an anchor soldered to the board. Figure 6-5 shows the reference thermal solution assembly and associated components. Full mechanical drawings of the thermal solution assembly and the heatsink clip are provided in Appendix B. Appendix A contains vendor information for each thermal solution component. Figure 6-3.

Plastic Wave Soldering Heatsink Assembly 6.5.2 Extruded Heatsink Profiles The reference thermal solution uses an extruded heatsink for cooling the chipset MCH. Figure 6-6 shows the heatsink profile. Appendix A lists a supplier for this extruded heatsink. 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. 6.5.4 Thermal Interface Material A TIM provides improved conductivity between the die and heatsink. The reference thermal solution uses Chomerics T-710, 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) thick, 15 mm x 15 mm (0.60 in. x 0.60 in.) square. Note: Unflowed or dry Chomerics T-710 has a material thickness of 0.005 inch. The flowed or wet Chomerics T-710 has a material thickness of ~0.0025 inch after it reaches its phase change temperature. 6.5.4.1 Effect of Pressure on TIM Performance As mechanical pressure increases on the TIM, the thermal resistance of the TIM decreases. This phenomenon is due to the decrease of the bond line thickness (BLT). BLT is the final settled thickness of the thermal interface material after installation of heatsink. The effect of pressure on the thermal resistance of the Chomerics T-710 TIM is shown in Table 6-1. The heatsink clip provides enough pressure for the TIM to achieve a thermal conductivity of 0.17 °C inch2/W.

Each end of the wire clip is attached to the ramp clip which in turn attaches themselves to anchors to fasten the overall heatsink assembly to the motherboard. See Appendix B for a mechanical drawing of the clip. Figure 6-6. Plastic Wave Soldering Heatsink Extrusion Profile 6.5.6 Clip Retention Anchors For Intel 3000 and 3010 chipset-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 two-pin jumper and is soldered to the board like any common through-hole header. A new anchor design is available with 45° bent leads to increase the anchor attach reliability over time. See Appendix A for the part number and supplier information. 26 Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Guide Reference Thermal Solution 6.6 Reliability Guidelines Each motherboard, heatsink and attach combination may vary the mechanical loading of the component. Based on the end user environment, the user should define the appropriate reliability test criteria and carefully evaluate the completed assembly prior to use in high volume.
