2.3 Motherboard Component Height Restrictions

The mounting solution for the heatsink requires attachment to the motherboard. As such, this

solution calls for a standard motherboard keepout region and mounting holes for the processor. An

overview of the motherboard component restrictions for the AMD Athlon 64 is shown in Figure 3.

A complete detailed set of drawings is shown in Appendix A.3 on page 47. Thermal-solution

designers must adhere to these geometric restrictions to be compatible with the motherboards

designed for the AMD Athlon 64 processor. Similarly, overview of the motherboard component

restrictions for the AMD Opteron is shown in Figure 4 on page 17.
