AMD thermal white paper

[boeingfixer]

Hey gang,

I posted a reply to someone here and found this article on AMD's website about cooling and heatsinks. It is mostly boring but they give a good step-by-step on how to install a thermal probe into a HSF. I thought it very informative and thought I would pass it along.

doesn't work for me.

Is it any different from the AMD Thermal Solutions
AMD Thermal Solutions which has been posted in the past? Why don't you post some of the important aspects like it was a news story?

Unk, its a PDF file..

hmm.. the link works for me. I dont think he can cut and paste anything because it is a PDF and he probably doesnt have the full version of Acrobat.

why mine works and yours doesnt is beyond me.

95ºC for 1100 MHz
and higher

Thermal, mechanical, and chassis cooling solutions that meet
the criteria described in the previous pages have been
successful for applications incorporating AMD processors.
AMD encourages vendors to innovate and propose other
designs. If different heatsink production technologies, whether
extrusion, folded fin, bonded fin, or cold forged, produce
similar or better results than the solutions suggested in this
guide, then designers are encouraged to incorporate them into
new thermal solution designs. Any design, however, must meet
the overall goal of dissipating the heat produced by the
processor at a given ambient temperature.

Not really many words, just alot of drawings and charts and whatnot.

Sorry for causing so much trouble. Here is the main link, scroll down to the bottom, it's the first item under "Built and Installation guide", it was posted March 27,2002 so it is fairly new. I know some of you Mod's have seen it all but alot of the newbies have not. If it is too much a bother, just delete the thread.

Here is the link

AMD Thermal, Mechanical, and Chassis Cooling Design Guide

I posted it as a thead cause someone JUST asked the question, I thought it easier for some to spot it right away instead of digging for it.

I've been quoting this information for quite some time now. Most of this is available w/o downloading in pdf format

Many are confused by the new AXP modeling number system, & actual clock speed
