Intel Verification Criteria for the Reference 
Designs
E.1.1
Reference Heatsink Thermal Verification
The Intel reference heatsinks will be verified within specific boundary conditions using a 
TTV and the methodology described in the Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Dual- and Multi- Processor 
Family Thermal Test Vehicle User's Guide
The test results, for a number of samples, are reported in terms of a worst-case mean 
+ 3σ value for thermal characterization parameter using real processors (based on the 
TTV correction offset). 
E.1.2
Environmental Reliability Testing
E.1.2.1
Structural Reliability Testing
The Intel reference heatsinks will be tested in an assembled condition, along with the 
LGA771 Socket. Details of the Environmental Requirements, and associated stress 
tests, can be found in the LGA771 Socket Mechanical Design Guide.
The use condition environment definitions provided in 
are based on 
speculative use condition assumptions, and are provided as examples only.
