4 Thermal Simulation
Intel provides thermal simulation models of the Intel
®
6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub component and
associated user's guides to aid system designers in simulating, analyzing, and optimizing their
thermal solutions in an integrated, system-level environment. The models are for use with the
commercially available Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based thermal analysis tool
“FLOTHERM”* (version 3.1 or higher) by Flomerics, Inc. These models are also available in
IcePak* format. Contact your Intel field sales representative to order the Icepak thermal model and
user's guide.
