Intel® G31/P31 Express Chipset Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines
— For the Intel® 82G31 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® 82P31 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
This document presents the conditions and requirements to properly design a cooling
solution for systems that implement the (G)MCH. Properly designed solutions provide
adequate cooling to maintain the (G)MCH case temperature 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 (G)MCH case temperature at or below those
recommended in this document, a system designer can ensure the proper
functionality, performance, and reliability of this component.
