Reference Thermal Solution
The Wave Solder Heatsink (WSHS) is the reference component thermal solution for the MCH. This
chapter provides detailed information on operating environment assumptions, heatsink
manufacturing, heatsink rework, and mechanical reliability requirements.
4.1 Operating
Environment
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 potential for increased airflow speeds
may be realized by ensuring that airflow from the processor heatsink fan exhausts in the direction of
the MCH heatsink. This can be achieved by orienting the processor heatsink fins perpendicular to the
MCH heatsink face or by using a heatsink with omni directional airflow
(e.g., a radial fin or “X” pattern heatsink). Figure 8 illustrates the fin orientation of a straight fin
heatsink that provides airflow to the MCH heatsink. In addition, MCH board placement should
ensure that the MCH heatsink is within the air exhaust area of the processor heatsink.
Note that heatsink orientation alone does not guarantee 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 MCH heatsink.

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