A CPU socket is a mechanical component on a motherboard that houses and connects a central processing unit (CPU) to the board, enabling electrical and physical interface.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Pin Count | Varies by model (e.g., 1700 pins for Intel LGA 1700) | |
| Dimensions | Standardized footprint per socket type | |
| Socket Type | LGA 1700, AM5, etc. | |
| Compatible CPUs | Specific CPU models and generations | |
| Mounting Mechanism | ZIF lever or LGA clamp | |
| Thermal Design Power (TDP) Support | Up to specified watts (e.g., 125W) |

Manufacturer profiles associated with CPU Socket.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
LGA (Land Grid Array) sockets have pins on the socket that contact pads on the CPU, while PGA (Pin Grid Array) sockets have holes for pins on the CPU. LGA is common in Intel designs, offering better durability and thermal performance, whereas PGA is often used by AMD for cost-effectiveness and ease of manufacturing.
Check the CPU manufacturer's specifications (e.g., Intel or AMD) for the socket type required, such as LGA 1700 for certain Intel CPUs or AM5 for AMD Ryzen series. Always verify pin count, generation support, and motherboard chipset compatibility to avoid damage or malfunction.
