Introduction

Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines 7

1 Introduction

As the complexity of computer systems increases, so do power dissipation requirements. The additional power of next generation systems must be properly dissipated. Heat can be dissipated using improved system cooling, selective use of ducting, and/or active/passive heatsinks.

The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperatures of all components in a system are maintained within functional limits. The functional temperature limit is the range within which the electrical circuits can be expected to meet specified performance requirements. Operation outside the functional limit can degrade system performance, cause logic errors, or cause component and/or system damage. Temperatures exceeding the maximum operating limits may result in irreversible changes in the operating characteristics of the component. The goal of this document is to provide an understanding of the operating limits of the Intel® 82945G/82945GZ/82945GC Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® 82945P/82945PL Memory Controller Hub (MCH), and discuss a reference thermal solution.

The simplest and most cost-effective method to improve the inherent system cooling characteristics of the (G)MCH is 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 presents the conditions and requirements to properly design a cooling solution for systems that implement the 82945G/82945GZ/82945GC GMCH or 82945P/82945PL MCH. Properly designed solutions provide adequate cooling to maintain the (G)MCH case temperature at or below thermal specifications. This is accomplished by providing a low local-ambient temperature, ensuring adequate local airflow, and minimizing the case to local-ambient thermal resistance. By maintaining the (G)MCH case temperature at or below those recommended in this document, a system designer can ensure the proper functionality, performance, and reliability of these components.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, the information in this document applies to the Intel® 82945G/82945GZ/82945GC Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the Intel® 82945P/82945PL Memory Controller Hub (MCH). The term (G)MCH refers to the 82945G GMCH, 82945GZ GMCH, 82945GC GMCH, 82945P MCH, and 82945PL MCH.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, ICH7 refers to the Intel® 82801GB ICH7 and 82801GR ICH7R I/O Controller Hub 7 components.

2 Product Specifications

This chapter provides the package description and loading specifications. The chapter also provides component thermal specifications and thermal design power descriptions for the (G)MCH.

2.1 Package Description

The (G)MCH is available in a 34 mm [1.34 in] x 34 mm [1.34 in] Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FC-BGA) package with 1202 solder balls. The die size is currently 9.6 mm [0.378in] x 10.6 mm [0.417in]. A mechanical drawing of the package is shown in Figure 9, Appendix B.

2.1.1 Non-Grid Array Package Ball Placement

The (G)MCH package uses a “balls anywhere” concept. The minimum ball pitch is 0.8 mm [0.031 in], but ball ordering does not follow a 0.8-mm grid. Board designers should ensure correct ball placement when designing for the non-grid array pattern. For exact ball locations relative to the package, contact your Field Sales Representative.

Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines 13

2.3 Thermal Specifications

To ensure proper operation and reliability of the (G)MCH, the temperature must be at or below the maximum value specified in Table 2. System and component level thermal enhancements are required to dissipate the heat generated and maintain the (G)MCH within specifications. Chapter 3 provides the thermal metrology guidelines for case temperature measurements.

The (G)MCH must also operate above the minimum case temperature specification listed in Table 2.

Table 2. (G)MCH Case Temperature Specifications

Parameter Value

TC-MAX 82945G/82945GZ/82945GC GMCH: 99 °C

82945P/82945PL MCH : 103°C

TC-MIN 0 °C

NOTE: Thermal specifications assume an attached heatsink is present.

2.4 Thermal Design Power (TDP)

Thermal design power (TDP) is the estimated power dissipation of the (G)MCH based on normal operating conditions including VCC and TC-MAX while executing real worst-case power intensive applications. This value is based on expected worst-case data traffic patterns and usage of the (G)MCH and does not represent a specific software application. TDP attempts to account for expected increases in power due to variation in (G)MCH current consumption due to silicon process variation, processor speed, DRAM capacitive bus loading and temperature. However, since these variations are subject to change, the TDP cannot ensure that all applications will not exceed the TDP value.

The system designer must design a thermal solution for the (G)MCH such that it maintains TC below TC-MAX for a sustained power level equal to TDP. Note that the TC-

MAX specification is a requirement for a sustained power level equal to TDP, and that the case temperature must be maintained at temperatures less than TC-MAX when operating at power levels less than TDP. This temperature compliance is to ensure (G)MCH reliability over its useful life. The TDP value can be used for thermal design if the (G)MCH thermal protection mechanisms are enabled. Intel chipsets incorporate a hardware-based fail-safe mechanism to help keep the product temperature within specifications in the event of unusually strenuous usage above the TDP power limit.

14 Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines

2.4.1 Methodology

2.4.1.1 Pre-Silicon

To determine TDP for pre-silicon products in development, it is necessary to make estimates based on analytical models. These models rely on extensive knowledge of the past chipset power dissipation behavior along with knowledge of planned architectural and process changes that may affect TDP. Knowledge of applications available today and their ability to stress various components of the chipset is also included in the model. Since the number of applications available today is beyond what Intel can test, only real world high-power applications are tested to predict TDP. The values determined are used to set specific data transfer rates. The projection for TDP assumes (G)MCH operation at TC-MAX. The TDP estimate also includes a margin to account for process variation.

2.4.1.2 Post-Silicon

Once the product silicon is available, post-silicon validation is performed to assess the validity of pre-silicon projections. Testing is performed on both commercially available and synthetic high power applications and power data is compared to pre-silicon estimates. Post-silicon validation may result in a small adjustment to pre-silicon TDP estimates.

2.4.2 Application Power

Designing to the TDP can ensure that a particular thermal solution meets the cooling needs of future applications. Testing with currently available commercial applications has shown that the components may dissipate power levels below the published TDP specification in Section 2.4.3. Intel strongly recommends that thermal engineers design to the published TDP specification to develop a robust thermal solution that will meet the needs of current and future applications.

2.4.3 Specifications The (G)MCH is estimated to dissipate the Thermal Design Power values provided in Table 3 when using two DIMMs of 667 MHz (553 MHz for the 82945PL/82945GZ) dual channel DDR2 with a 1066 MHz (800 MHz for the 82945PL/82945GZ/82945GC) processor system bus speed. For the 82945G/82945GZ/82945GC GMCH, the graphics core is assumed to run at 400 MHz. FC-BGA packages have limited heat transfer capability into the board and have minimal thermal capability without thermal solutions. Intel requires that system designers plan for an attached heatsink when using the (G)MCH.

3 Thermal Metrology

The system designer must measure temperatures to accurately determine the thermal performance of the system. Intel has established guidelines for proper techniques of measuring (G)MCH component case temperatures.

3.1 Case Temperature Measurements

To ensure functionality and reliability, the (G)MCH is specified for proper operation when TC is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in Table 2. The surface temperature at the geometric center of the die corresponds to TC. Measuring TC requires special care to ensure an accurate temperature reading.

Temperature differences between the temperature of a surface and the surrounding local ambient air can introduce error 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). To minimize these measurement errors a thermocouple attach with a zero-degree methodology is recommended.

3.1.1 Thermocouple Attach Methodology 1. Mill a 3.3 mm [0.13 in] diameter hole centered on bottom of the heatsink base.

The milled hole should be approximately 1.5 mm [0.06 in] deep.

2. Mill a 1.3 mm [0.05 in] wide slot, 0.5 mm [0.02 in] deep, from the centered hole to one edge of the heatsink. The slot should be in the direction parallel to the heatsink fins (see Figure 3).

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, make sure 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 2).

6. Attach heatsink assembly to the (G)MCH and route thermocouple wires out through the milled slot.

3.2 Airflow Characterization

Figure 4 describes the recommended location for air temperature measurements measured relative to the component. For a more accurate measurement of the average approach air temperature, Intel recommends averaging temperatures recorded from two thermocouples spaced about 25 mm [1.0 in] apart. Locations for both a single thermocouple and a pair of thermocouples are presented.

Figure 4. Airflow Temperature Measurement Locations

Airflow velocity should be measured using industry standard air velocity sensors. Typical airflow sensor technology may include hot wire anemometers. Figure 4 provides guidance for airflow velocity measurement locations. These locations are for a typical JEDEC test setup and may not be compatible with chassis layouts due to the proximity of the processor to the (G)MCH. The user may have to adjust the locations for a specific chassis. Be aware that sensors may need to be aligned perpendicular to the airflow velocity vector or an inaccurate measurement may result. Measurements should be taken with the chassis fully sealed in its operational configuration to achieve a representative airflow profile within the chassis.

The Intel Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) reference design uses a Z-clip attach for the (G)MCH heatsink. This chapter provides detailed information on operating environment assumptions, heatsink manufacturing, and mechanical reliability requirements for the (G)MCH.

4.1 Operating Environment

The operating environment of the (G)MCH will differ depending on system configuration and motherboard layout. This section defines operating environment boundary conditions that are typical for ATX and BTX form factors. The system designer should perform analysis on the platform operating environment to assess any impact to thermal solution selection.

4.1.1 ATX Form Factor Operating Environment

In ATX platforms, an airflow speed of 0.76 m/s [150 lfm] is assumed to be present 25 mm [1 in] in front of the heatsink air inlet side of the attached reference thermal solution. The system integrator should note that board layout may be such that there will not be 25mm [1in] between the processor heatsink and the (G)MCH. The potential for increased airflow speeds may be realized by ensuring that airflow from the processor heatsink fan exhausts in the direction of the (G)MCH heatsink. This can be achieved by using a heatsink providing omni directional airflow, such as a radial fin or “X” pattern heatsink. Such heatsinks can deliver airflow to both the (G)MCH and other areas like the voltage regulator, as shown in Figure 5. In addition, the (G)MCH board placement should ensure that the (G)MCH heatsink is within the air exhaust area of the processor heatsink.

Note that heatsink orientation alone does not ensure that 0.76 m/s [150 lfm] airflow speed will be achieved. The system integrator should use analytical or experimental means to determine whether a system design provides adequate airflow speed for a particular (G)MCH heatsink.

The local ambient air temperature, TA, at the (G)MCH heatsink in an ATX platform is assumed to be 47 °C. The thermal designer must carefully select the location to measure airflow to get a representative sampling. These environmental assumptions are based on a 35 °C system external temperature measured at sea level.

Other methods exist for providing airflow to the (G)MCH heatsink, including the use of system fans and/or ducting, or the use of an attached fan (active heatsink).

4.1.2 Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) Form Factor Operating Environment

The operating environment for the (G)MCH in typical BTX systems has not been profiled. This section provides operating environment conditions based on what has been exhibited on the Intel micro-BTX reference design. On a BTX platform, the (G)MCH obtains in-line airflow directly from the processor thermal module. Since the processor thermal module provides lower inlet temperature airflow to the processor, reduced inlet ambient temperatures are also often seen at the (G)MCH as compared to ATX. An example of how airflow is delivered to the (G)MCH on a BTX platform is shown in Figure 6.

The local ambient air temperature, TA, at the (G)MCH heatsink in the Intel micro-BTX reference design is predicted to be ~45 °C. The thermal designer must carefully select the location to measure airflow to get a representative sampling. These environmental assumptions are based on a 35 °C system external temperature measured at sea level.

Note: The local ambient air temperature is a projection based on anticipated power increases on a 2005 platform and may be subject to change in future revisions of this document.

4.2 Mechanical Design Envelope

The motherboard component keep-out restrictions for the (G)MCH on an ATX platform are included in Appendix B, Figure 10. The motherboard component keep-out restrictions for the (G)MCH on a BTX platform are included in Figure 11.

System integrators should ensure no board or chassis components would intrude into the volume occupied by the (G)MCH thermal solution.

4.3 Thermal Solution Assembly

The reference thermal solution for the (G)MCH for an ATX platform is shown in Figure 7 and Appendix B and is an aluminum extruded heatsink that uses two ramp retainers, a wire preload clip, and four custom motherboard anchors. The heatsink is attached to the motherboard by assembling the anchors into the board, placing the heatsink over the (G)MCH and anchors at each of the corners, and securing the plastic ramp retainers through the anchor loops before snapping each retainer into the fin gap. The assembly is then sent through the wave process. Post wave, the wire preload clip is assembled using the hooks on each of the ramp retainers. The clip provides the mechanical preload to the package. A thermal interface material (Chomerics* T710) is pre-applied to the heatsink bottom over an area that contacts the package die.

The reference thermal solution for the (G)MCH for a BTX platform is shown in Figure 8. The heatsink is aluminum extruded and uses a Z-clip for attach. The clip is secured to the system motherboard via two solder-down anchors around the (G)MCH. The clip helps to provide a mechanical preload to the package via the heatsink. A thermal interface material (Chomerics* T710) is pre-applied to the heatsink bottom over an area in contact with the package die.

The ATX reference thermal solution differs from the BTX reference solution because a BTX platform requires a Support and Retention Mechanism (SRM) that helps to meet the mechanical requirements listed in Table 4.
