Intel Processor Latest Model
Intel® Core™ Duo Processor
Depending on the type of system and the chassis characteristics, new system and component designs may be required to provide adequate cooling for the processor. The goal of this document is to provide an understanding of these thermal characteristics and discuss guidelines for meeting the thermal requirements imposed on single processor systems using the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad-Core processor QX6700? and Intel® Core™2 Quad procoessor Q6000?.
The concepts given in this document are applicable to any system form factor. Specific examples used will be the Intel enabled reference solution for ATX/uATX systems. See the applicable BTX form factor reference documents to design a thermal solution for that form factor.

± Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.
° Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
? 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
? Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

The following suppliers have developed cooling solutions for the Intel® Core™2 Quad Desktop Processor-based system designs. These were independently tested by an Intel-enabled, third-party test house. These suppliers may produce both compliant and non-compliant solutions in addition to what is listed below. Please regularly consult this page for updated information on heatsink vendor status.
Note: End-users are responsible for the verification of the component offerings with the supplier. OEM and System Integrators are responsible for thermal, mechanical, and environmental validation of these solutions.
