[Ku-sama]

Why are they stealing the LGA775 design?

 

[The_Beast]

[Ku-sama]

its for AMD's new processors, only for servers really right now

yea, the pins on the motherboard is a much better idea. much easier to sand the ihs down to a mirrored finish. i actually bent the pins on my proc before, had to use a razorblade to carefully and accurately put like 5 pins back into place. lol
no worries, LGA for the win. wuts that stand for anyways?

It's "Land Grid Array".

Aiiiii!!! There are still pins, and more than ever. They are just on the motherboard. Land Grid Array, versus Pin Grid Array

 

[Ku-sama]

they arent pins, they are springs
