yes.
I personally think both 'array styles' used by AMD and Intel make sense for their products. In most cases an Intel CPU will cost much more than the motherboard so theoretically it's better for the pins to break on the motherboard rather than on the CPU

Yeah same =D The only part that sucked was the stress of putting the CPU in the socket. I couldn't sleep thinking about what would happen if I destroyed the MOBO and the CPU by messing up that step. Turned out to be easy though. So next time should be less stressful.

Amazing - Whoever suggested this topic is amazing. I was just looking for a decent video about this the other day, but came up severely short. +1
I found my first computer collecting dust in the basement about a year ago, and since I hadn't actually gotten into computers until nearly a decade after I stopped using that pc, I never knew what was inside. I opened it up and was greeted by a big cartridge with a tiny fan on it labeled "Pentium II". I hadn't even known at the time that cartridge cpu's ever existed.

Another great and simple video that explains something we all deal with as tech people. Could you all do a video on the new digital audio products coming out? What I mean is on iOS they will send sound via the Lightning connector or Android sending audio via USB3 type-C connectors on some newer phones. Thank you.
Hey Linus. I was wondering how powered USB hubs work. Does it just help power the peripherals or can it hurt them by giving them to much voltage? I had an AVID interface for Pro Tools and when it came to supplying phantom power for two condenser mics, I was concerned. I got a powered USB hub (Amazon Basics) but, I was just wondering if devices only pull what they need or if they can be burnt up, so to say. Thanx man! Love the show!

Girls. They all have diferent size and shape sockets but compatibility will probably not be an issue. Make sure there is enough lubrication before insertion. This mostly comes preinstalled but you may need to apply some manually. it is very wise to cover your entire cpu with a special rubber cover before inserting into the socket. This may slow down performance and not provide optimum experience but it will provide maximum protection against viruses and malware and also save you from alot of trouble in the ocassion of uncontrolled coolant leaking. Please note that brand new motherboards will have sealant in their sockets. This is nothing to worry about as it will brake off as soon as you insert the cpu but be sure to do it gently for the first time.

2:57 And Zen+... And Zen 2... and Zen 3. You had a great run, AM4.
I found one of my parents old pcs in there closet so I decided to clean it up as I had nothing to do and it was the weekend and I kinda got bored of most of my games so then when i was taking out components I realized I hadn't taken out the cpu yet so I looked around and found a cartridge with a 40 or 20 mm fan mounted on it and I thought ok well that must be an old cpu so I googled it and realized that cpus were also inserted like cartridges a while ago I was then confused as to how to remove it as it was bolted on the mobo with rivets and other stuff that is hard to remove.
That image of the socket with all the bent pins had piano strings shrieking in my mind. The stuff of nightmares.
gathering information to help me when I build a pc for the first time...all this knowledge is a bit nerve wracking...
Your description of inserting the CPU into the Socket gave me the fucking horn, the coolant tip made me think of putting an ice pack on my arse, useful for these hot and sweaty summer months. Thanks, Linus. You're a star.
I'm a big LTT fan boy and after 5 years of self taught computer work I decided to come back to school and my teacher recommended this video!
When I first got my processor the delivery person just absolutely destroyed the box and in turn bent a handful of the pins on the cpu inside. Spent a good hour+ with the tiniest flathead I own to bend them back. That was fun. In the end though it fit perfectly into the socket and has worked beautifully ever since.

POS was also taken... Used for Point-Of-Sale, the computers that restaurants and retails use for sales.
oh jeez this brought back some bad memories. A few years back I had a fairly nice little prebuilt pc and it was starting to show its age. I checked on the case and it proudly displayed "AMD athlon 2" on it so I did the "logical" thing and went ahead and purchased an AMD FX 8350. not smart. so I get home with this beastie in my hand and set about trying to pull my computer apart and after a lot of effort I finally got to the motberboard which, superficially at least, appeared to have the right sockets. This was back when I didn't know about sockets. "AMDs are easy to install" they said. about five minutes of wrangling later and I'd bent two pins. an hour of desperate wiggling with a knife later and those pins totally came off. I spent the next hour or so practically crying at my own failure. and that's the story of how I threw away about £180 on a processor and then killed it before I even got to run it.

Who else watches these videos just to see how creative the transition into the advertisement is?
Not only do you need a cooler to match your socket, but pay attention to which way it will connect. I ordered the wrong cooler master 212, and it could only go with the fans pushing/pulling vertically, which made it too wide and would have blocked half my memory slots. had to switch to one that attached differently.

My mobo uses lga 771 narrow ILM. I am using lga 775 compatible heatsinks (dual socket mobo.) I had to make custom mounting brackets so that I could mount the heatsinks. Screw compatibility, I will make it work! :D
I didn't think I was that much of a computer nerd until I actually had a visceral reaction to 3:24
whats the deference between LGA 1151 and the U3E1 ? i noticed in many oem like i5 and i7
this should be one of the first things a person learns when learning about computers. i just had a person reach out to me about a faulty psu which ened up being a ruined 3rd gen i5 because his friend bought him an lga 1150 board when his processopr needed and lga 1155 board. he forved the processor in and cracked and bent a corner of his cpu by forcing it in.
its about time!
Yes, a tech quickie with linus
You are 100% correct that you should not have to apply pressure to a CPU to seat it. If anything you should do the exact opposite and set it down carefully in the socket. The pins on a PGA socket will fall into place if the socket is correctly opened. Unless you bent any of the pins or didn't set the CPU down flat in the socket, it will require zero insertion force (it is why they are sometimes called ZIF sockets). One other reason it would not go in is that the CPU might not be oriented in the socket properly. Look for a mark or arrow on the socket and CPU and they should be matched to the same corner. Also note that a CPU will not go into the socket correctly if at all if it is not oriented correctly. If that happens, stop where you are, *FREEZE* and look to see if you did something wrong. Also install your PC parts when you have the whole day to yourself so you can enjoy the experience and do it correctly. Maybe that will give you plenty of time to check everything over once or twice. Then you can get a cup of coffee or something else and power it on for the first time and install the OS. I say do all of this on a free day so that you don't have to rush anything, building a PC should be fun. Rushing it will just lead to stress and possibly damaged parts. Need help, by all means call in a knowledgeable friend. He can help you out with anything you are not sure of. This isn't as difficult as some people would make it sound. Just take your time do it right and have fun!!

Nice green hue Linus
Things that were either incorrect or missing: -CPUs on cards were an experiment, and before them PGA sockets already existed. They were mostly useful in the days of the external L2 cache. -Back then, both manufacturers used the same sockets, but Intel in order to monopolize the x86 CPU market they made their own sockets exclusive, forcing AMD to use their own and several 3rd party manufacturers to leave the market.
The whole cartridge form factor was a temporary thing from the P2 / Athlon era with on-board cache. Prior to this we used pins (and this made the Pentium Pro look quite bizarre) and following it we used pins :)
I actually am planning on getting the AMD Ryzen for my next desktop. I used Intel since I'm into computers because they simply built the faster processors but if the Ryzen holds up to what it promised at a good price point I'm definitely in!

What Pin Identification does the IBM Power8 8-Core Edition have?
I was gonna use a interl core i5 that is a LGA1150 Socket, but the mother board is LGA1151.. Do they work with eachother ?
Hello, does anyone know of an FM2+ Board that supports the AMD-a4 5300 and SLI/2 gpu slots? I have been looking round, but they all seem to be extremely expensive. I am looking to do this with a GTX 460, and a GTX 260
I dropped my Intel CPU a little to high on the socket, but I managed to slide it in the right place. Do you think my motherboard pins or even my CPU is damaged?
I wish all cpu used the same connectors
I like more the AMD socket it's very easy to install the CPU and also if you bent the CPU pins you can put them in the shap they used to be with a knife..cool! And also I need to say that I just like AMD's socket more and no I also have a few intel CPUs so I'm no fanboy.
0:59 sockets were first then cartridges (Pentium 2 / Pentium 3 Katmai) then back to sockets - not cartridges first, AMD - same thing.
I had the Pentium 3 1.4 GHz on a cartridge. Still have it actually. With glorious RAMBUS

can a amd a 9600 work with a intel icore 5 socket I have an inspirion 15 5000
yeah i have bent pins before (on intel), had a old pentium d rig (pentium d 945 i think, either way i know it was 3.4ghz stock) which during a thermal paste replacement we got a little on the pins on the board, we then tried to wipe it clean but ended up bending on of the pins, turns out it wasent just another ground pin we bent so pc didnt boot. next day went out and built a new system, AMD athlon II x4 640, 4GB ram and geforce gtx9600 512MB now im on AMD Phenom II x6 1055t OC'd to 3.5ghz 9GB DDR3 1333MHz 1TB Hitachi ECO drive 480GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD AMD R7 270/270X (both the 270 and 270X are the same, just the 270X has an extra 6 pin power connector)

Pssss... AMx+ sockets are sometimes backwards compatable with the non+ versions. ie: AM3+ socket will work with AM3 chip, but not the other way around. :3
@rjfaber1991

Not sometimes, but always; that's the very meaning of the +. If socket AM3+ wasn't compatible with AM3 CPUs, it wouldn't have been called AM3+ but AM4. I'm personally quite happy that AMD pays such attention to backwards compatibility, because I'm running an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (AM3) CPU on an Asrock 970 Extreme4 (AM3+) motherboard, which would not have otherwise worked.
