Thermal Specifications and Design Guidelines
6.1.6
Reference Thermal Solution Performance Targets
provides thermal boundary conditions and performance targets for the
processor. These values serve as guidance for designing a processor compatible
thermal solution. Heatsink design compliance can be determined with thermocouples
and TTVs.

System Thermal Environmental Conditions
6.2.1.1
Ambient Temperature
The temperature of the inlet air entering the processor heatsink module is referenced in
this document as the local ambient temperature (T
LA
). This is not a system
requirement, rather simply the local ambient temperature upstream from the
processor. It is measured from the air upstream and in close vicinity to the processor
heatsink module. For other cooling systems, the ambient temperature is measured
from the inlet air to the cooling device.
6.2.1.2
Airflow
Airflow should be provided by a system fan or blower in order to cool the processor
package. See the recommended airflow rate for the reference heatsink in
.
