Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines

The orientation of the groove at 6 o’clock exit relative to the package pin 1 indicator

(gold triangle in one corner of the package) is shown in Figure 32 for the 775-Land

LGA package IHS.

Figure 32. IHS Groove at 6 o’clock Exit on the 775-LAND LGA Package

When the processor is installed in the LGA775 socket, the groove is parallel to the

socket load lever, and is toward the IHS notch, as shown in Figure 33.

Select a machine shop that is capable of holding drawing specified tolerances. IHS

groove geometry is critical for repeatable placement of the thermocouple bead,

ensuring precise thermal measurements. The specified dimensions minimize the

impact of the groove on the IHS under the socket load. A larger groove may cause the

IHS to warp under the socket load such that it does not represent the performance of

an ungrooved IHS on production packages.

Inspect parts for compliance to specifications before accepting from machine shop.
