Thermal Design Guide for Socket F (1207) Processors

Chapter 3 Thermal Design of Platforms Using

the AMD Processor-In-a-Box (PIB)

Thermal Solution

This chapter describes the motherboard component height restrictions, thermal-solution design requirements, sample heat sinks, and attachment methods for platforms using the AMD Processor-In- a-Box (PIB) thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.

3.1Motherboard Component Height Restrictions

The mounting solution for the heat sink calls for a standard motherboard keep-out region and mounting holes for the processor. Figure 2 shows an overview of the motherboard component height restrictions for platforms using the PIB thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.
