Introduction  
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 properly dissipated. Heat may be dissipated  
using improved system cooling and/or attaching passive heatsinks.  
The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperatures of all components in a  
system are maintained within functional limits. The functional temperature limit is the range within  
which the electrical circuits may be expected to meet specified performance requirements.  
Operation outside the functional limit may degrade system performance, cause logic errors, or  
cause component and/or system damage. Temperatures exceeding the maximum operating limits  
may result in irreversible changes in the operating characteristics of the component. The goal of  
®
this document is to provide an understanding of the operating limits of the Intel 6300ESB I/O  
Controller Hub (ICH).  
The simplest and most cost effective method is to improve the inherent system cooling  
characteristics through careful design and placement of fans, vents, and ducts. When additional  
cooling is required, component thermal solutions may be implemented in conjunction with system  
thermal solutions. The size of the fan or heatsink may be varied to balance size and space  
constraints with acoustic noise.  
This document presents 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 accomplished 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 the Intel 6300ESB ICH at or below those recommended in this document, a system  
designer may ensure the proper functionality, performance, and reliability of these components.

Case Temperature and Thermal Design Power  
To ensure proper operation and reliability of the Intel 6300ESB ICH component, the case and  
junction temperatures must be at or below the values specified in Table 3. System and/or  
component level thermal solutions are required to maintain the case temperature below the  
maximum temperature specification while dissipating the thermal design power (TDP) listed in

Case Temperature Metrology  
The component case temperature should be measured by attaching a thermocouple to the geometric  
center of the package case top. Refer to Appendix A, “Mechanical Drawings” for package  
dimensions.

Reference Thermal Solution  
4.0  
Reference Thermal Solution  
Based on a component local operating environment of natural convection (zero LFM of airflow)  
with a maximum local-ambient temperature of 55° C, the Intel 6300ESB ICH component does not  
require an attached heatsink to meet thermal specifications. For systems where the local-ambient  
temperature is severe (greater than 55° C, natural convection), a component level thermal solution  
or system thermal solution improvement may be required. Attaching a heatsink to the package case  
and/or improving airflow at the component may be potential solutions.  
4.1  
Reliability Requirements  
If an attached heatsink is implemented due to a severe component local operating environment, the  
reliability requirements in Table 4 are recommended. Each motherboard, heatsink, and attach  
combination may vary the mechanical loading of the component. It is recommended that the user  
carefully evaluate the reliability of the completed assembly prior to use in high volume.
