This socket is based on LGA (land-grid array) technology. The LGA socket has 35 pads x 35 pads on a 1.1 mm pitch, with a 3.52 mm wide de-populated BGA (ball grid array) zone in the center, plus a 0.66 mm offset between the two BGA arrays. A small solder-ball makes the electrical and mechanic

Thermal Design Guide for Socket F (1207) Processors 32800 Rev. 3.02 August 2006 Depending on the system features and layout, more space around the socket may be available for the thermal solution than is shown in Figure 2 on page 15. This space permits heat sink designs with better thermal performance. Appendix A on page 37 shows a complete, detailed set of keep-out drawings for the AMD PIB thermal solution for socket F (1207). 3.2 Thermal Solution Design Requirements Table 2 provides the de

32800 Rev. 3.00 August 2006 Thermal Design Guide for Socket F (1207) Processors Note: Do not cut entirely through the center rib. Doing so will compromise the stiffness of the backplate. The plate uses two PennEngineering (PEM) standoffs that serve multiple purposes. The PEM standoffs serve as attachment points for the retention frame screws. They also align the backplate properly to the motherboard. Features in the retention frame slide over the standoffs and allow the installation of the
