Chapter 2 Processor Thermal Solutions
This chapter describes the thermal solutions for systems based on socket F (1207) processors.
2.1 Processor Specifications
The objective of thermal solutions is to maintain the processor temperature within specified limits.
Thermal performance, physical mounting, acoustic noise, mass, reliability, and cost must be
considered during the design of a thermal solution.
Table 1 lists the pertinent processor specifications for a thermal solution design for systems based on
socket F (1207) processors.
