Table 5 on page 25 provides load specifications for the LGA1150 socket with the ILM
installed. The maximum limits should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly,
shipping conditions, or standard use condition. Exceeding these limits during test may
result in component failure. The socket body should not be used as a mechanical
reference or load-bearing surface for thermal solutions.

Maximum heatsink mass N/A 500g 10
Notes:
1. These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction perpendicular to the IHS top
surface.
2. This is the minimum and maximum static force that can be applied by the heatsink and its retention
solution to maintain the heatsink to IHS interface. This does not imply the Intel reference TIM is validated
to these limits.
3. Loading limits are for the LGA1150 socket.
4. This minimum limit defines the static compressive force required to electrically seat the processor onto
the socket contacts. The minimum load is a beginning of life load.
5. Dynamic loading is defined as a load a 4.3 m/s [170 in/s] minimum velocity change average load
superimposed on the static load requirement.
6. Test condition used a heatsink mass of 500 gm [1.102 lb.] with 50 g acceleration (table input) and an
assumed 2X Dynamic Acceleration Factor (DAF). The dynamic portion of this specification in the product
application can have flexibility in specific values. The ultimate product of mass times acceleration plus
static heatsink load should not exceed this limit.
7. The maximum BOL value and must not be exceeded at any point in the product life.
8. The minimum value is a beginning of life loading requirement based on load degradation over time.
9. The maximum removal force is the flick up removal upwards thumb force (measured at 45°), not
applicable to SMT operation for system assembly. Only the minimum removal force is applicable to
vertical removal in SMT operation for system assembly.
10.The maximum heatsink mass includes the core, extrusion, fan and fasteners. This mass limit is evaluated
using the POR heatsink attach to the PCB.
Electrical Requirements
LGA1150 socket electrical requirements are measured from the socket-seating plane
of the processor to the component side of the socket PCB to which it is attached. All
specifications are maximum values (unless otherwise stated) for a single socket
contact, but includes effects of adjacent contacts where indicated.
