Introduction

Intel®E7500/E7505 Chipset MCH Thermal Design Guide 7

1 Introduction

As the complexity of computer systems increase, 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 specify the operating limits of the Intel®E7500/E7505 chipset MCH components.

• To describe a reference thermal solution that meets the thermal specifications of the

Intel®E7500/E7505 chipset MCH components.

Properly designed solutions provide adequate cooling to maintain the E7500/E7505 chipset 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 E7500/E7505 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 is to improve the inherent system cooling

characteristics through careful 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 E7500/E7505 chipset MCH

components only. For thermal design information on other chipset components, refer to the

respective component datasheet. For the P64H2, refer to the Intel®PCI-64 Hub 2 (P64H2)

Thermal Design Guidelines. For the ICH3-S, refer to the Intel®82801CA I/O Controller Hub 3

(ICH3-S) Datasheet. For the ICH4, refer to the Intel® 82801DB I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4)

Datasheet.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, the term “MCH” refers to both the E7500 chipset MCH and E7505

chipset MCH.

1.2 Definition of Terms

Term Definition

BGA Ball Grid Array. A package type defined by a resin-fiber substrate, onto which a die is

mounted, bonded and encapsulated in molding compound. The primary electrical

interface is an array of solder balls attached to the substrate opposite the die and

molding compound.

Intel®ICH3-S /

Intel®ICH4

I/O Controller Hub. The chipset component that contains the primary PCI interface,

LPC interface, USB, ATA-33, and other legacy functions.

MBGA Mini Ball Grid Array. A version of the BGA with a smaller ball pitch.

MCH Memory Controller Hub. The chipset component that contains the processor interface

and the memory interface.

FC-BGA Flip Chip Ball Grid Array. A package type defined by a resin-fiber substrate where a die

is mounted using an underfilled C4 (Controlled Collapse Chipset Connection) attach

style. The primary electrical interface is an array of solder balls attached to the

substrate opposite the die. The device arrives at the customer with solder balls

attached. This is the packaging technology used for the MCH.

Intel®P64H2 Bus Controller Hub. The chipset component that interfaces the PCI-X buses.

Tcase Maximum die temperature allows. This temperature is measured at the geometric

center of the top of the package die.

TDP Thermal Design Power. Thermal solutions should be designed to dissipate this target

power level.
