Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor and Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines

— Supporting the Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6000Δ sequence at 775_VR_CONFIG_05B, Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6000Δ sequence at 105 W, Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6000Δ sequence at 95 W and the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9000Δ series at 775_VR_CONFIG_05B

Depending on the type of system and the chassis characteristics, new system and component designs may be required to provide adequate cooling for the processor. The goal of this document is to provide an understanding of these thermal characteristics and discuss guidelines for meeting the thermal requirements imposed on single processor systems using the Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6000Δsequence, Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6000Δ sequence, Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6000Δ sequence and the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9000Δ series.

The concepts given in this document are applicable to any system form factor. Specific examples used will be the Intel enabled reference solution for ATX/uATX systems. See the applicable BTX form factor reference documents to design a thermal solution for that form factor.
