Thermal/Mechanical Reference Design 2.4.3 Summary In summary, considerations in heatsink design include: • The local ambient temperature TLA at the heatsink, airflow (CFM), the power being dissipated by the processor, and the corresponding maximum TCASE. These parameters are usually combined in a single lump cooling performance parameter, ΨCA (case to air thermal characterization parameter). More information on the definition and the use of ΨCA is given in Section 2.4 and Section 2.3.2. • Heatsink interface (to IHS) surface characteristics, including flatness and roughness. • The performance of the TIM used between the heatsink and the IHS. • Surface area of the heatsink. • Heatsink material and technology. • Development of airflow entering and within the heatsink area. • Physical volumetric constraints placed by the system. • Integrated package/socket stackup height information is provided in the LGA771 Socket Mechanical Design Guide.

2.4.3
Summary
In summary, considerations in heatsink design include:
The local ambient temperature T
LA
at the heatsink, airflow (CFM), the power being
dissipated by the processor, and the corresponding maximum T
CASE
. These
parameters are usually combined in a single lump cooling performance parameter,
Ψ
CA
(case to air thermal characterization parameter). More information on the
definition and the use of
Ψ
CA
is given in
Section 2.4
and
Section 2.3.2
.
Heatsink interface (to IHS) surface characteristics, including flatness and
roughness.
The performance of the TIM used between the heatsink and the IHS.
Surface area of the heatsink.
Heatsink material and technology.
Development of airflow entering and within the heatsink area.
Physical volumetric constraints placed by the system.
Integrated package/socket stackup height information is provided in the
LGA771
Socket Mechanical Design Guide
