The 1U CEK Intel reference thermal solution is designed to meet the Thermal Profile B for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series. From Table 2-7the three- sigma (mean+3sigma) performance of the thermal solution is computed to be 0.246°C/W and the processor local ambient temperature (TLA) for this thermal solution is 40 °C. Hence, the Thermal Profile equation for this thermal solution is calculated as:

Equation 2-9.y = 0.246*X + 40

where,

y = Processor TCASE value (°C) x = Processor power value (W)

Figure 2-20below shows the comparison of this reference thermal solution’s Thermal Profile to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series Thermal Profile specification. The 1U CEK solution meets the Thermal Profile B with 0.5°C margin at the upper end (TDP). However, as explained in Section 2.2.7, designing to Thermal Profile B results in increased TCC activation and measurable performance loss for the processor.
