Intel® Thermal/Mechanical Reference Design Information
44 Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines
The Intel
®
Core™2 Quad processor Q6000 series at 105 W requires a thermal solution
equivalent to the RCBFH-3 reference design, see Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 Processor on 90
nm Process in the 775-Land LGA Package Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines
for a complete description of this reference design.
The Intel
®
Core™2 Quad processor Q6000 series at 95 W and Intel
®
Core™2 Quad
processor Q9000 and Q8000 series at 95 W require a thermal solution equivalent to
the D60188-001 reference design (see Figure 11 for an exploded view of this
reference desi
gn).

revision number -001 may be subject to change without notice.

The D60188-001 reference design takes advantage of an acoustic improvement to
reduce the fan speed to show the acoustic advantage (its acoustic results are shown in
the Table 6).
Note: If the heatsi
nk design is used in the Intel
®
Core™2 Quad processor Q6000 series at
95 W and Intel
®
Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 and Q8000 series at 95 W for cost
savings instead of acoustic advantage, the design that optimizes cost would likely use
aluminum core type designs with the similar fan or a combination of all these (the
smaller copper core, the cheater fan and the lower fin density extrusion).
