Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial while building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is the key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the
proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heat sinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heat sink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heat sink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of
heat sinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those heat sinks
are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this
collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heat sinks that support Intel processors.

Chapter 1
Introduction of P35 and ICH7 chipset based Motherboards
1-1 Features of Motherboard
The P35 and ICH7 chipset motherboard series are based on Intel P35 and ICH7 chipset
technology which supports the innovative 65nm Quad-Core, Dual-Core Intel® Core 2 Quad,
Core 2 Duo (Code Name: Conroe) processors, 90nm Dual-Core Intel® D Processor 8 series
(except Pentium® D Intel 805.) and 9 Series processors , Pentium 4 and Celeron with Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology.
The P35 and ICH7 chipset Based motherboard series deliver the revolutionary levels of
performance enabling vivid, high-definition experiences and multi-tasking responsiveness
from state-of-the-art Intel dual-core and quad-core technologies through the high bandwidth
of dual channel DDR2 800 / 667MHz system memories which are expandable to 8GB and the
next generation PCI Express interface for the latest graphics cards from AMD and nVidia ,
the P35 and ICH7 chipset motherboard series are absolutely the ultimate solution for game
enthusiasts and applications, and it also meets the demanding usage of computing of gaming,
multimedia entertainment and business applications.
The INTEL P35 and ICH7 chipset motherboard series support Front Side Bus 1333 MHz data
transferring rate and provide with 400MHz/333MHz memory clock frequency for Dual
channel DDR2 800/667MHz memory DIMMs expandable to 8GB . The motherboard is
embedded with ICH7 chipset of providing four serial ATA2 interface of 3.0 Gb / s data
transfer rate for four serial ATA devices. More over, the motherboard provides also 1 extra
Ultra ATA interface for two IDE devices of 100 MB / s data transfer rate .
The P35 and ICH7 chipset Based motherboard provides Gigabit LAN function by using the
optional Realtek RTL8111B and RTL8111C PCI-E Gigabit LAN which supports 10M /
100M / 1Gbps data transfer rate. Embedded Azalia 8-channel CODEC is fully compatible
with Sound Blaster Pro®standards that offer you with the home cinema quality and
absolutely software compatibility.
The P35 chipset Based motherboard series offer one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot which
offers 4 Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which get 3.5 times of
bandwidth more than AGP8X and up to 8 Gbyte/sec concurrent bandwidth at full speed to
guarantee the ultimate GPU computing performance. Two PCI Express x1 I/O slots offer
512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbye/sec,
tackling the most demanding multimedia tasks nowadays. Three 32-bit PCI slots guarantee
the rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals.
Embedded USB controllers as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0 functional ports
delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth of rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the future USB
demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor and
protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.

Some special features---CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU Vcore 7-shift/ CPU Smart Fan in
this motherboard are designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more
flexible ways. But please be caution that the over-clocking may cause the fails in system
reliabilities. This motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands
of the next generation computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with
variety possibilities of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read
the detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please get them in the coming
section.
1-1.1 Special Features of motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology---(The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
to 90). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working.
CPU Smart Fan---( The Noise Management System )
It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics.
CPU Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for
now-a-day’s high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the
fan speed when CPU operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition,
the system will low down the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can
provide the much longer life cycle for both CPU and the system fans for game use and
business requirements.
CPU Vcore 7-Shift--- ( Shift to Higher Performance )
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 8 stages for the precisely over-clocking of extra
demanding computing performance.
