All dimensions and tolerances conform to ANSI Y14.5M-1994. ® Intel E7230 Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide...
  • Page 11: Package Mechanical Requirements

    Packaging Technology Package Mechanical Requirements The Intel E7230 chipset MCH package has an exposed bare die which is capable of sustaining a maximum static normal load of 10 lbf. The package is NOT capable of sustaining a dynamic or static compressive load applied to any edge of the bare die. These mechanical load limits must not be exceeded during heatsink installation, mechanical stress testing, standard shipping conditions and/or any other use condition.

  • Page 19: Power Simulation Software

    The power simulation software is a utility designed to dissipate the thermal design power on an Intel E7230 chipset MCH when used in conjunction with the Prescott processor (1333 MHz). The combination of the above mentioned processor(s) and the higher bandwidth capability of the Intel E7230 chipset enable higher levels of system performance.
