Guidelines
To ensure functionality and reliability, the Celeron D Processor in the 775-land LGA package is
specified for proper operation when T
C
is maintained at or below the thermal profile as listed in the
processor datasheet. The measurement location for T
C
is the geometric center of the IHS.
shows the location for T
C
measurement.
Special care is required when measuring T
C
to ensure an accurate temperature measurement.
Thermocouples are often used to measure T
C
. Before any temperature measurements are made, the
thermocouples must be calibrated, and the complete measurement system must be routinely
checked against known standards. When measuring the temperature of a surface that is at a
different temperature from the surrounding local ambient air, errors could be introduced in the
measurements. The measurement errors could be caused by poor thermal contact between the
thermocouple junction and the surface of the integrated heat spreader, heat loss by radiation,
convection, by conduction through thermocouple leads, or by contact between the thermocouple
cement and the heatsink base.
defines a reference procedure for attaching a thermocouple to the IHS of an FC-LGA4
processor package for T
C
measurement. This procedure takes into account the specific features of
the FC-LGA4 package and of the LGA775 socket for which it is intended.
