LGA775 Socket Heatsink Loading Figure 24. Board Deflection Definition d1 d'1 d2 d'2 A.2.3 Board Deflection Limits Deflection limits for the ATX/µATX form factor are: d_BOL - d_ref ≥ 0.09 mm and d_EOL - d_ref ≥ 0.15 mm And d'_BOL - d'_ref ≥ 0.09 mm and d_EOL' - d_ref' ≥ 0.15 mm NOTES: 1. The heatsink preload must remain within the static load limits defined in the processor datasheet at all times. 2. Board deflection should not exceed motherboard manufacturer specifications.
