Chapter 3 Thermal Design of Platforms Using
the AMD Processor-In-a-Box (PIB)
Thermal Solution
This chapter describes the motherboard component height restrictions, thermal-solution design
requirements, sample heat sinks, and attachment methods for platforms using the AMD Processor-In-
a-Box (PIB) thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.
3.1 Motherboard Component Height Restrictions
The mounting solution for the heat sink calls for a standard motherboard keep-out region and
mounting holes for the processor. Figure 2 shows an overview of the motherboard component height
restrictions for platforms using the PIB thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.
