Reference Thermal Solution
6.4.1 Extruded Heatsink Profiles
The reference thermal solution uses an extruded heatsink for cooling the chipset MCH.
Figure 6-3 shows the heatsink profile. Other heatsinks with similar dimensions and
increased thermal performance may be available. A full mechanical drawing of this
heatsink is provided in Appendix B.
