Intel Processor Cooling
Thermal management is at it’s most effective the closer you can get to the component junction.
If the heat from your components is not efficiently leaving the chip, then expensive or high performance thermal cooling methods downstream will have nothing to cool.
We are specialists in directly interfacing with the high power devices which are most commonly used in high performance Intel processor computing. Our team have built, designed and tested modules and systems which run the latest Intel and Nvidia architectures in extremely tough conditions.
To achieve the minimum thermal resistance between your heatsink and the device, careful consideration and engineering control must be applied at the component surface.
For world-class processor cooling, design must consider:
- Accurate thermal modelling of die loading to achieve representative heat spreading through system
- Thermal Interface Materials that match the pressure and thermal cycling requirements of your product
- Device and heatsink tolerance stack-up seen throughout the board lifecycle
- Maximum stress loading to prevent solder ball damage
