In processor sockets, AMD, Intel has been going two ways in the past decade. Intel has already switched to the LGA package. AMD is still sticking to the PGA slots. Specifically, AMD's processors now have densely packed pins. For AMD processor users, in addition to taking care to prevent the pin from breaking off, many people may encounter the following defects. When removing the heat sink, the CPU is directly pulled out.
This kind of thing is too common for colleagues in the editorial department, and it is always encountered several times a year. The root cause is the stickiness between CPU top cover and silicone grease. Of course, this is in addition to the problems inherent in PGA slots. In addition, it is also related to AMD's design of the slot snap pressure is a bit low, but conversely, the low pressure is not necessarily a bad thing, because pulling out the heat sink to bring out the CPU will not normally damage the CPU pins, but the buckle If the pressure is too high, it may be damaged, because the user may use more force at that time.
Asus Japan made this push yesterday. When they used the AMD Wraith Prism heatsink, they brought out the CPU directly. Seeing that they applied a lot of silicone grease, they overflowed into the CPU.
Friends of GIGABYTE sent a congratulatory message, but what is this?
