Socket 370 Intel Processors Mechanical Load Limits

Most Intel Socket 370 processors (Pentium III and Celeron) have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heat sink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.

Location Dynamic Static
Die Surface 890 N (200 lbf) 222 N (50 lbf)
Die Edge 667 N (100 lbf) 53 N (12 lbf)

Famous quotes containing the words processors, mechanical, load and/or limits:

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
    Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)

    Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Men so noble,
    However faulty, yet should find respect
    For what they have been. ‘Tis a cruelty
    To load a falling man.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
