(BTX) Type I Boxed Processor

Specifications

The Intel® Pentium® D processor will also be offered as an boxed Intel processor. Boxed Intel
processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from largely standard
components. The boxed Intel Pentium D processor will be supplied with a cooling solution known
as the Thermal Module Assembly (TMA). Figure 8-1 shows a mechanical representation of a
boxed Pentium D processor. This chapter documents mainboard and system requirements for the
TMA that will be supplied with the boxed Pentium D processor. This chapter is particularly
important for OEMs that manufacture mainboards for system integrators.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this chapter are dimensioned in millimeters and inches
[in brackets].
Note: Drawings in this section reflect only the specifications on the boxed Intel processor product. These
dimensions should not be used as a generic keep-out zone for all cooling solutions. It is the system
designer’s responsibility to consider their proprietary cooling solution when designing to the
required keep-out zone on their system platforms and chassis. Refer to the Intel® Pentium® D
Processor and Intel® Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition 840 Thermal and Mechanical Design
Guidelines for further guidance.
NOTE: The duct, clip, heatsink, and fan can differ from this drawing representation; however, the basic shape
and size will remain the same.
