1.0 Introduction
As the complexity of computer systems increases, so do the power dissipation requirements. Care
must be taken to ensure that the additional power is prope rly dissipated. Heat may be dissipated
using improved system cooling and/or attaching passive heatsinks.
The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the tempe r atures of all components in a
system are maint ai ned within f u nction al limit s . The func tional te mper ature li mit i s the ra nge withi n
which the electric al circuits may be expected to meet specified perfor mance requirements.
Operation outs ide the functional limit ma y degrade system performance, caus e logic errors, or
cause component and /or s ystem damage. Temperatures exceeding the maximum operatin g limits
may result in irreversible changes in the operating chara cteristics of the component. The goal of
this document is to provide an understanding of the operating limits of the Intel
Controller Hub (ICH).
The simplest and most cost effective method is to improve the inherent sys tem cooling
characteristics through careful design and placement of fans, vents, and ducts. When additional
cooling is req uired, component therm al solutions may be implem ented in conjunctio n with system
thermal solutions. The size of the fan or heatsink may be varied to balance size and space
constraints with acoustic noise.
Introduction

6300ESB I/O
This document pres ents the conditions and requirements to properly design a cooling solution for
systems using the Intel 6300ESB ICH. Properly designed solutions should provide adequate
cooling to maintain the Intel 6300ESB ICH case temperatures at or below thermal specifications.
This is accompli shed by providing a low local-ambient temperature, ensuring adequate local
airflow, and minimizing the case to local-ambient thermal resistance. By maintaining the case
temperatures of th e Int el 6300E SB ICH at or be low thos e recommend ed in thi s documen t, a s ystem
designer may ensure the pro per functionality, performance, and reliability of these components.

Ball G rid Array. A package type defined by a resin-fiber substrate, onto wh ich a die is
mounted, bonded and encapsulated in molding compound. The primary electrical interface is
an array of solder balls attached to the substrate opposite the die and molding compound.
The max imum package case temperature w ithout any package thermal solution. Th is
temperature is measured at the geometric cent er of the top of the package case .
The max imum component temperature specifica tion measu red at the hottest point in the
processor die.
Thermal Design Power. Thermal solutions should be de signed to dissipat e this target power
level.
Linear Feet Per Minute. A measure of airflow emitted from a forced convection device, such
as an axial fan or blower.
