LGA775 Socket Heatsink Loading Using the cooling approach on the Intel D975XBX2 Desktop Board the CPU current draw vs. heat exchanger fan speed is shown in Figure 20 and Table 9 as well as the performance of not having this cooling feature. This was measured as the maximum current draw before the VR circuitry reaches its maximum temperature and asserts the PROCHOT# signal. The socket has a maximum temperature specification to maintain proper electrical performance at the contacts. Based on this temperature the current capability is slightly reduced but still shows improved capability of over 20 A at 100% speed over not having this feature. Figure 20.
