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.  
3.1  
Motherboard 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.

Depending on the system features and layout, more space around the socket may be available for the  
thermal solution than is shown in Figure 2 on page 15. This space permits heat sink designs with  
better thermal performance.  
Appendix A on page 37 shows a complete, detailed set of keep-out drawings for the AMD PIB  
thermal solution for socket F (1207).  
3.2  
Thermal Solution Design Requirements  
Table 2 provides the design-target specifications that must be met for the processor to operate reliably  
in a typical platform using the AMD PIB thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.

Notes:  
1. This is the thermal resistance required for dual-core, 90-nm socket F (1207) processors. The thermal resistance  
requirement may vary depending on the product OPN. The user should consult the processor data sheet for the  
thermal requirements specific to the part.  
2. Heat sinks weighing up to 450 g can be attached to the motherboard. Heat sinks weighing over 450 g should be tied  
directly to the chassis for reliable shock and vibration performance.  
3.3  
Sample Heat Sinks and Attachment Methods  
The heat sink, fan, mounting spring clip, and thermal interface material used for the AMD PIB  
thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors are the same as the heat sink, fan, mounting spring  
clip, and thermal interface material used for systems based on the socket 940 processor.  
The backplate and retention frame are different from those used in the socket 940 processor. The  
EMC shield implemented in the socket 940-based systems is not recommended for AMD PIB thermal  
solutions for socket F (1207) processors.

3.3.1  
Backplate Assembly  
The backplate is mounted on the backside of the motherboard and enhances local stiffness to support  
shock and vibration loads acting on the heat sink. The backplate assembly prevents excessive  
motherboard warpage in the area near the processor. Without a backplate, excessive warpage could  
cause serious damage to electrical connections of the processor socket and integrated circuit packages  
surrounding the processor. The backplate also serves as a stiffener plate for the LGA socket.  
The reference backplate is made from a 1/16-inch, hard-milled steel, has an overall thickness of 0.138  
inch (3.5 mm), including stiffening ribs, and has a mounting-hole pitch of 3.5 inches. To  
accommodate the capacitors on the backside of the board, there is a square hole in the center of the  
backplate.

Note: Do not cut entirely through the center rib. Doing so will compromise the stiffness of the  
backplate.  
The plate uses two PennEngineering (PEM) standoffs that serve multiple purposes. The PEM  
standoffs serve as attachment points for the retention frame screws. They also align the backplate  
properly to the motherboard. Features in the retention frame slide over the standoffs and allow the  
installation of the screws with a minimum chance of cross threading. Additionally, four M3.5 PEM  
standoffs in the backplate serve as attachment points for the socket.  
The insulator prevents the backplate from electrically shorting to the motherboard. A pressure-  
sensitive adhesive in the insulator keeps the backplate in place against the motherboard during  
assembly. The insulator also is thick enough to prevent any significant capacitive coupling between  
the motherboard and backplate.  
3.3.2  
Retention Frame  
The plastic retention frame, made of 20% glass-filled Lexan, is a two-piece implementation rather  
than the single-piece frame used for socket 940. This change accommodates the larger foot-print of  
socket F (1207) processors.  
The retention frame serves multiple purposes. The retention frame aligns the heat sink and provides a  
stop for the heat sink in large shock-force events. The retention frame and backplate are attached to  
the motherboard by the motherboard vendor. Two screws securely hold the backplate and retention  
frame together. The two mounting tabs on the retention frame serve as attachment points for the heat  
sink spring clip.

Chapter 4 Thermal Design of Custom 1U-2P  
Systems  
This chapter describes the motherboard component-height restrictions, thermal-solution design  
requirements, sample heat sinks, and attachment methods for custom 1U-2P systems based on socket  
F (1207) processors.  
Note: These keep-outs are defined for custom rack mount equipment to optimize thermal and  
acoustic performance in these systems. These keep-outs are not compliant with AMD  
Processor-In-a-Box (PIB) thermal solutions.  
4.1  
Motherboard 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 4 shows an overview of the motherboard component height  
restrictions for custom 1U-2P systems based on the thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.

Lifting the heat sink away from the processor can result in damage to the processor contact pads, the  
socket contacts, or the socket solder-ball joints. Maintaining the spring force is important for the life  
of the processor and the socket and for repeated installations and upgrades of the processor.  
4.3.3  
Heat Sink  
Figure 6 shows a picture of the reference design heat sink for 1U-2P systems. The footprint of the  
heat sink is 87 mm x 74 mm. The heat sink weighs 420 g and has aluminum fins soldered to a copper  
base. The copper base tapers from a thickness of 6 mm at the center to 1.5 mm at the edges. This  
tapering provides optimum heat-spreading performance from the processor to the heat sink while  
keeping the heat sink weight within specification. The fin geometry is designed to provide optimized  
thermal performance in combination with the fans, as described in Section 4.3.4, on page 26, in a  
typical 1U-2P system.

Other fan and heat sink combinations may yield adequate thermal performance. The system designer  
must ensure that the thermal solution provides required cooling for the processor for the given system  
layout and flow characteristics.  
Because the processor-mounting surface extends above the surface of the cam box on the socket, the  
heat sink bottom can be flat. The heat sink must have a flat surface of at least 40 mm x 40 mm,  
centered over the processor.  
Figure 7 shows the measured thermal performance vs. flow rate for a slightly shorter version of this  
heat sink (3.5" hole pitch vs. 4.1" hole pitch). This data represents the expected performance of this  
heat sink on a dual-core socket F (1207) processor. Based on flow tests on the AMD reference 1U-2P  
system, the flow through the heat sink is estimated to be approximately 20 cubic feet per minute  
(CFM). Figure 7 shows that this corresponds to case-to-ambient thermal resistance of 0.24°C/W. This  
case-to-ambient thermal resistance has been confirmed through system thermal tests. The  
requirement (see Table 4 on page 22) is 0.26°C/W.  
Figure 7. Thermal Performance Chart of Heat Sink When Used with a Dual-Core Processor  
in 90 nm Process

Fans  
AMD has tested the heat sink described in Section 4.3 on page 22 with a row of five 40 mm x 50 mm  
x 56 mm fans (Delta Part number GFB0412EHS) in a typical 1U-2P system. The fan has a 27.3-CFM  
maximum flow rate and a 1.63-inches water maximum pressure head. The heat sinks are ducted so  
the flow from two fans enters each of the processor heat sinks.

Thermal Interface Material  
The heat sink contacts the top surface of the processor package and utilizes the thermal interface  
material between the processor lid and the heat sink. AMD recommends using a high performance  
grease such as Shin-Etsu 7783D or Dow Corning TC-5022. AMD does not recommend using phase  
change materials between the heat sink and the processor. Phase-change materials develop high  
adhesion forces between the heat sink and processor when the material is in the solid phase. This  
strong adhesive force can cause the processor to stick to the heat sink, making heat sink removal  
difficult and damaging the socket solder balls.

5.3.2  
Spring Clip  
The spring clip is designed to apply 75 lbs of force to the center of the heat sink. This force is  
necessary to help prevent the heat sink from lifting off of the package during shock or vibration-  
induced events. Lifting the heat sink away from the processor can result in damage to the processor  
contact pads, the socket contacts, or the socket solder-ball joints. Maintaining the spring force is  
important for the life of the processor and for repeated installations and upgrades of the processor.  
The spring clip material is heat-treatable spring steel, SK7. AMD strongly recommends using SK7 or  
an equivalent material for the spring clip. The clip should be plated after heat treatment for cosmetic  
and anti-corrosive reasons. Table 9 gives the chemical composition of SK7. The heat treatment used  
should bring the ultimate strength of the material to a minimum of 1,300 megapascals (MPa) or 189  
kilopounds per square inch (kpsi), and it should bring the yield strength to 940 MPa (or 136 kpsi).  
Other materials commonly used for heat sink spring clips have been shown to yield under the high  
load of the initial spring-clip deflection and become deformed so that the spring clip can no longer  
apply the same load.

Retention Frame  
The plastic retention frame, made of 20% glass-filled Lexan, is a two-piece implementation rather  
than the single-piece frame used for socket 940. This change accommodates the larger foot-print of  
socket F (1207) processors.  
The retention frame serves multiple purposes. The retention frame aligns the heat sink and provides a  
stop for the heat sink in large shock-force events. The retention frame and backplate are attached to  
the motherboard by the motherboard vendor. Two screws securely hold the backplate and retention  
frame together. The two mounting tabs on the retention frame serve as attachment points for the heat  
sink spring clip.  
5.3.4  
Heat Sink  
Figure 10 on page 34 shows a picture of the reference design heat sink for 2U-4P systems. The  
footprint of the reference design heat sink is 92 mm x 58 mm. The heat sink weighs 378 g and has an  
aluminum fin stack soldered to the copper base. The copper base tapers from a thickness of 7 mm at

the center to 2.5 mm at the edges. The heat sink also has three heat pipes soldered to the base and  
connected to the top of the fin stack to improve fin efficiency. This design provides optimum heat  
spreading performance from the processor to the heat sink. The fin geometry has been designed to  
provide optimized thermal performance in combination with the fans, as described in Section 5.3.5,  
on page 35, in a typical 2U-4P system.  
Figure 10. High Performance Heat Sink for Custom 2U-4P Systems

Other fan and heat sink combinations may yield adequate thermal performance. The system designer  
must ensure that the thermal solution provides required cooling for the processor for the given system  
layout and flow characteristics.  
Because the processor-mounting surface extends above the surface of the cam box on the socket, the  
heat sink bottom can be flat. The heat sink must have a flat surface of at least 40 mm x 40 mm,  
centered over the processor.  
Figure 11 shows the measured thermal performance vs. flow rate for this heat sink. This data  
represents the expected performance of this heat sink on a dual-core socket F (1207) processor. Based

on flow simulations of an AMD reference 2U system, the flow-through of the heat sink is  
approximately 18 CFM. Figure 11 shows that this flow rate corresponds to a case-to-ambient thermal  
resistance of 0.22°C/W. This case-to-ambient thermal resistance exceeds requirements (see Table 7  
on page 30).  
Figure 11. Thermal Performance Chart of Heat Sink When Used with a Dual-Core Processor  
in 90 nm Process  
5.3.5  
Fans  
AMD has conducted simulations of the heat sink described in Section 5.3.4 on page 33 with two 60  
mm x 60 mm x 38 mm fans (Delta Part number FFB0812EHE-HS2) in series, that is, back to back.  
The fans have a maximum flow rate of 80.2 CFM and a maximum pressure drop of 0.8 inches of  
water. The heat sinks are ducted so the flow from the two fans enters the processor heat sinks with  
some bypass. The bypass is designed to cool the core VRM.  
5.3.6  
Thermal Interface Material  
The heat sink makes contact with the top surface of the processor package utilizing the thermal  
interface material between the processor lid and the heat sink. AMD recommends using a high  
performance grease such as Shin-Etsu 7783D or Dow Corning TC-5022. AMD does not recommend  
using phase change materials between the heat sink and the processor. Phase-change materials  
develop high adhesion forces between the heat sink and processor when the material is in the solid  
phase. This strong adhesive force may cause the processor to stick to the heat sink, making heat sink  
removal difficult and damaging the socket solder balls.

(1207) Processor  
Appendix B contains detailed recommended keep-out drawings for processor heat sink and mounting  
hardware for a custom 1U-2P system based on the socket F (1207) processors. Depending on the  
system features and layout, more space around the processor may be available for the thermal  
solution than is shown in these drawings. This space permits the design of heat sinks with better  
thermal performance.  
Note: These keep-outs are defined for custom rack mount equipment to optimize thermal and  
acoustic performance in these systems. These keep-outs are not compliant with AMD  
Processor-In-a-Box (PIB) thermal solutions.
