Am I the only one who thinks that pins on your motherboard cpu slot is much better than on your cpu.
Motherboards are cheaper compared to your cpu so they should have pins because these pins are so fragile and if you bend even one of them them your hundreds of dollars are gone.
AMD already has pins in their threadripper motherboard but pulling this cheap tactic for ryzen is not right.

Came here to post this

I actually had an i7-4820K and P9X79 Deluxe combo where the MBO was somewhat more expensive.

I got it from a shady reseller for $180 in sealed box with no warranty or receipt but considering it was $400 new here that was a real good deal.

Don't worry, they fixed the price difference with X570.

Nothing with pins on CPU that's for sure.

My first computer that I built myself was a Socket A system, so I guess that has a special place in my memory but man that mounting system

but yeah 10/10 socket. Overclocking with DIP switches was fun.

I much prefer pga to lga. Pins are kino.

Any socket with a lever to release the pressure on the pins so it is easy to put-in/remove.

It was fucking nerve breaking to try and lift up a 386 from its socket, and not bend pins in the process. (If the socket was too tight holding.)

They could always make AM4 boards that support DDR5.
Then we'd get cool holdover boards again that have DDR4 and DDR5 ram slots.

> They could always make AM4 boards that support DDR5.
Nah, it'd be even worse than what we have today, with X570 not supporting the 1st gen. AM5 CPUs could have both DDR4 and DDR5 controllers, but I doubt AMD will drag AM5 support on AM4 boards, although it depends on what they'll do, yeah.

socket 2ME

SuperMicro PCB

x58 1366, when i had my old dual x5675 xeon system.

Please tell me someone else had a slotket.
I started with a Celeron 266 overclocked to 400. Then, Celeron 300A overclocked to 550.
Next came the slotket, and a Celeron 566 running at 850. Final upgrade, a Pentium 3 1000 running at 1133. Those were good days.

Why don't they just make cpus with one big pin so it doesn't bend?

This user has it right

Slots aren't sockets, they're slots.

Pins are far easier to fix on the CPU than on the mainboard. First of all they're harder to reach on the mainboard, also Intel's fish hooks bend when you just look at them wrong and they're absolutely god-awful to try to attempt fixing. Drop an AMD processor onto the socket, straighten out the pins with a razor edge. Drop an Intel processor onto the socket, throw away the motherboard.

This, 775 is fucking kino. Seven years of processor releases spanning multiple architectures with tons of breakthrough models and oddities to collect, and you can also hack socket 771 CPUs to work on it with a $0.40/p strip of plastic off Ebay.

Hey I still have a celeron in a slotket like this, don't remember the exact specs though, maybe 400. Unfortunately I remember that the
motherboard wasn't really working too well by the end of its life, so probably not gonna run ever again(on this mobo at least). Guess I'm a bit of a hoarder.

yeah it was around the time the Capacitor Plague has begun so no wonder they pooped themselves.

By how I remember its looks, it was a Mendocino core Celeron

*only if your board could handle 220W CPUs which most of FX boards didn't, thus not supporting FX 9590

FX-9000 series were unnecessary memespawning abominations.

LGA 775 was LGA 1151 of its era, they kept using same socket but new CPUs for it weren't compatible with old boards. Same exact shit they're pulling now.

>they kept using same socket but new CPUs for it weren't compatible with old boards
As far as I know compatibility isn't as bad as it's made out to be. I'm not sure about the situation with Intel or VIA chipsets, but with Nvidia chipsets everything up to nForce 500 supported all Netbursts and all Core 2s except for the 45nm quadcores (and even those worked regardless in some cases), and from nForce 600 onwards they supported all Core 2s, period.

A white AM4 is rather uncommon though
>white genocide

Of course Intel was pulling this shit with its own chipset, Netburst 775 intel boards didn't support Core

Super socket 7 was fucking awesome, mostly because of the variety of chips you could get for it. Supported Intel pentiums, AMD K6, K6-2, K6-3 and cyrix alternatives. I think you could even put an IDT winchip in it, but my memoty of the timeline there's a bit hazy.

It's not like the ones aside Intel and AMD were worth considering though. Cyrix and WinChip were pretty shit.

I guess that depends on your workload. The K6 and cyrix chips tended to have stronger integer performance but shit floating point units. You wouldn't want one for games, but was fine for office uses.

i'm not the user you're replying to but i agree. i've used a 771 to 775 modded e5450 with a chinkshit cooler at 3.6ghz for a couple of months, the whole thing costed me less than a stick of ddr4 memory in total and it was beautiful.

AM2(+)

from Athlon 64 up to Phenom II, a great range

>tfw had an Athlon 64 but on the short lived early Socket 939

>tfw had a Core 2 Duo but on the mobile Socket P

I always end up with silly sockets.

AM3+ simply because bulldozer was basically designed to be abused and as long as you have a board that can keep up it can take a huge amount of punishment.

Look up my processors on Intel's site and tell me what it says.

they didn't bend on my machine

I don't give a fuck what the modern site (which didn't exist when those CPUs were released) says, those are not plastic pin grid array packages, they're flip chip pin grid array. The pins are attached to the PCB, the chip die is flipped and there's no plastic anywhere.
See pic, that's a PPGA. Note how the carrier is made out of plastic.

*drool* nice big socket for nice big cpu

Based. I didnt leave this till this year. hopefully am4 gets a good life

Any one with pins.

If they make an AM4+ that goes into DDR5, that'd be even more based.

There are some other issues though, I'm not really for or against either
LGA sockets are a pain to fix but they can still be fixed unless you broke off a pin, micro tip tweezers have fixed several boards for me with bent pins.
I do have to add, I do not buy boards with bent pins intentionally. That's a common eBay scam. If the board is dead, bend a pin and sell it to some guy who can unbend pins...
The same can be said for PGA, you can unbend a PGA pin easier but they're not that flexible and can break when you bend them back. Like flexing a paper clip over and over, it's not common but a worse bend can do that.

PGA does have other issues, pulling the processor out of the socket because it stuck to the cooler comes to mind. Then you have to wiggle or pry it off the cooler.

I don't think there's anything like 775 out there, chinkshit motherboards have even extended their life further. 40$ board that takes DDR3 and any 775/771 processor out of the box is super cool.

I miss my super socket 7 board, it died recently and I couldn't fix the bios chip shitting the bed.
Had a PCCHIPS M599LMR
Took everything including the winchips, adjusted automatically ezpz, and PC100 ram in a micro atx form factor
