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®  
6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub component.  
Describe a reference thermal solution that meets the specification of Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit  
PCI Hub component.  
Properly designed thermal solution provides adequate cooling to maintain the PXH component 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 PXH component 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® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub  
components only. For thermal design information on other chipset components, refer to the  
respective component datasheet.  
Unless otherwise specified, the term “PXH” refers to the Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub.

NOTES:  
1. All dimensions are in millimeters.  
2. All dimensions and tolerances conform to ANSI Y14.5M-1994.  
2.1  
Package Mechanical Requirements  
The PXH package has an exposed bare die, which is capable of sustaining a maximum static normal  
load of 15-lbf. 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/IHS top surface.  
3. These specifications are based on limited testing for design characterization. Loading limits  
are for the package only.

3 Thermal Specifications  
3.1  
Thermal Design Power (TDP)  
Analysis indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the PXH 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 for the PXH component. Flip chip ball grid array (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 PXH component.  
3.2  
Die Case Temperature Specifications  
To ensure proper operation and reliability of the PXH component, the die temperatures must be at or  
between the maximum/minimum operating temperature ranges as specified in Table 3-1Table 3-  
1Table 3-1. 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.

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  
PXH die temperatures. Section 5.1 provides guidelines on how to accurately measure the PXH die  
temperatures.  
5.1  
Die Case Temperature Measurements  
To ensure functionality and reliability, the Tcase of the PXH must be maintained at or between the  
maximum/minimum operating range of the temperature specification as noted in Table 3-1Table 3-  
1Table 3-1. 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, or contact between the thermocouple  
cement and the heatsink base (if a heatsink is used). For maximum 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 5-1Figure  
5-1Figure 5-1).  
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 5-2Figure 5-2Figure 5-2).  
6. Attach heatsink assembly to the PXH and route thermocouple wires out through the milled  
slot.

6 Reference Thermal Solution  
Intel has developed one reference thermal solution to meet the cooling needs of the PXH component  
under operating environments and specifications defined in this document. This chapter describes  
the overall requirements for the reference thermal solution including critical-to-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.  
6.1  
6.2  
Operating Environment  
The PXH reference thermal solution was designed assuming a maximum local-ambient temperature  
of 55°C. The minimum recommended airflow velocity through the cross section of the heatsink fins  
is 200 linear feet per minute (lfm). 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.)  
Heatsink Performance  
Figure 6-1Figure 6-1Figure 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.

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 PXH thermal solution  
are shown in Figure 6-2Figure 6-2Figure 6-2.  
When using heatsinks that extend beyond the PXH reference heatsink envelope shown in  
Figure 6-2Figure 6-2Figure 6-2, any motherboard components placed between the heatsink and  
motherboard cannot exceed 2.40 mm (0.094 in.) in height.

Torsional Clip Heatsink Thermal Solution Assembly  
The reference thermal solution for the PXH component is a passive extruded heatsink with thermal  
interface. It is attached using a clip with each end hooked through an anchor soldered to the board.  
Figure 6-5Figure 6-5Figure 6-5 shows the reference thermal solution assembly and associated  
components. Figure 6-6Figure 6-6Figure 6-6 shows the position of the heatsink rails relative to the  
PXH package top surface.

6.5.4  
Thermal Interface Material  
A thermal interface material provides improved conductivity between the die and heatsink. The  
reference thermal solution uses Chomerics* T-710, 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) thick, 8 mm x 8 mm  
square.  
Note: Unflowed or “dry” Chomerics* T710 has a material thickness of 0.005 inch. The flowed or “wet”  
Chromerics T710 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 T710 TIM is shown in Table 6-1Table 6-1Table 6-1. The  
heatsink clip provides enough pressure for the TIM to achieve a thermal conductivity of 0.17°C  
inch2/W.

Clip Retention Anchors  
For Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub-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 three-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.

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. Some  
general recommendations are shown in Table 6-2Table 6-2Table 6-2.
