Important Note
Only qualified and trained professionals should open a computer system. Please do not follow the instructions listed below or attempt to open a computer system unless you are a qualified and trained professional.
Qualified and trained professionals shall take all necessary precautions to avoid damage to all computer systems, such as but not limited to disconnecting the power before opening the case, using proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions (including ground straps, gloves, ESD mats), having suitable
facilities and proper tools and training.
To identify the Intel® chipset components located in a computer, you may need to look at the motherboard for the chipset markings.
Note: Some system manufacturers may void the warranty if you open the case. Check with the manufacturer if you have any concerns about this before proceeding.
Heatsink Note: Some Intel® chipset components such as the GMCH (Graphics and Memory Controller Hub) or MCH (Memory Controller Hub) might have heatsinks attached to them. We strongly recommend that you do not try removing any heatsink attached to a chipset in order to view the chipset markings. Only trained and qualified professionals should remove the heatsink from Intel chipsets.
If an Intel chipset has a heatsink, we recommend using the Intel Chipset Identification Utility to identify the Intel chipset components.
