NOTES:
1.

Set point variance is approximately ± 1 °C from fan heatsink to fan heatsink.

If the boxed processor fan heatsink 4-pin connector is connected to a 4-pin 

motherboard header and the motherboard is designed with a fan speed controller with 

PWM output (CONTROL see 

capability the boxed processor will operate as follows:

As processor power has increased the required thermal solutions have generated 

increasingly more noise. Intel has added an option to the boxed processor that allows 

system integrators to have a quieter system in the most common usage.

The 4th wire PWM solution provides better control over chassis acoustics. This is 

achieved by more accurate measurement of processor die temperature through the 

processor's temperature diode (T-diode). Fan RPM is modulated through the use of an 

ASIC located on the motherboard that sends out a PWM control signal to the 4th pin 

of the connector labeled as CONTROL. The fan speed is based on actual processor 

temperature instead of internal ambient chassis temperatures.

X ≤ 30

When the internal chassis temperature is below or equal to 
this set point, the fan operates at its lowest speed. 
Recommended maximum internal chassis temperature for 
nominal operating environment.

1

Y = 35

When the internal chassis temperature is at this point, the 
fan operates between its lowest and highest speeds. 
Recommended maximum internal chassis temperature for 
worst-case operating environment.

-

Z ≥ 38

When the internal chassis temperature is above or equal to 
this set point, the fan operates at its highest speed.
