Sensor Based Thermal Specification Design Guidance
Note: If the assumed T
AMBIENT
is inappropriate for the intended system environment, the
thermal solution performance may not be sufficient to meet the product requirements.
The results may be excessive noise from fans having to operate at a speed higher than
intended. In the worst case this can lead to performance loss with excessive activation
of the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC).
Note: If an ambient of greater than 43.2 °C is necessary based on the boundary conditions a
thermal solution with a Ψ
CA
lower than 0.19 °C/W will be required.
5.3.2 Thermal Design and Modelling
Based on the boundary conditions the designer can now make the design selection of
the thermal solution components. The major components that can be mixed are the
fan, fin geometry, heat pipe or air cooled solid core design. There are cost and acoustic
trade-offs the customer must make.
To aide in the design process Intel provides TTV thermal models. Please consult your
Intel Field Sales Engineer for these tools.
