Thermal Solutions7.5.3 Power Thermal UtilityThe <strong>Intel</strong> ® Xeon ® processor C5500/C3500 series Power Thermal Utility allows powerand thermal testing of the processor.The Utility will allow power and thermal testing of the processor. The thermal solutionmust be designed to keep the processor Tcase within specification for the ThermalDesign Power (TDP) as specified in Section 6. Contact your <strong>Intel</strong> representative toobtain the latest revision of the PTU.The default power level from the drop down list represents TDP.7.6 Thermal FeaturesMore information regarding processor thermal features is contained in the appropriateDatasheet.7.6.1 Fan Speed ControlThere are many ways to implement fan speed control. Using processor ambienttemperature (in addition to Digital Thermal Sensor) to scale fan speed with ambienttemperature can improve acoustics when DTS > TCONTROL.Table 7-2.Fan Speed Control, T CONTROL and DTS RelationshipConditionDTS ≤ T CONTROLFSC SchemeFSC can adjust fan speed to maintain DTS ≤ T CONTROL (low acoustic region).DTS > T CONTROLFSC should adjust fan speed to keep T CASE at or below the Thermal Profilespecification (increased acoustic region).7.6.1.1 T CONTROL GuidanceFactory configured T CONTROL values are available in the appropriate Dear CustomerLetter or may be extracted by issuing a Mailbox or an RDMSR instruction. See theappropriate Electrical, Mechanical, and Thermal Specifications (EMTS) for moreinformation.<strong>Intel</strong> ® Xeon ® Processor C5500/C3500 Series and LGA1366 SocketThermal/Mechanical Design Guide August 201061 Order Number: 323107-002US
