Appendix A makes good reading - page 37 onwards. Page 41 goes on about Load Cells for testing heatsink downforce, and specifically which make and model to use.... |
Dandy, but that's for a mount that has an IHS.
The load (60 - 90 lbs) will be split between the rim of the IHS, and the actual core. In what proportion, we do not know.
What we do know is the load for a bare die, from old specs.
I see this headed one way (for those that use a test die):
1-use a real IHS (since it's durable)
2-mount it as a free floating item on top of a heater die (alignment?)
3-do a temp measurement, Intel style (groove in the IHS)
4-clamp to old mounting specs (25 - 30 lbs)
PH already does remounts for one TIM variation; now it's remounts for two TIM variations. Simple.
JD; Intel or AMd, makes no difference. What it comes down to, is what offset you're going to apply to your results (raw data), to figure out what a user would get.
