A Guide to Buying a Motherboard
we have so many question about Motherboard. So first start with LGA. What is LGA land grid array ( LGA ) is a type of surface-mount packaging for integrated circuits (ICs) that is notable for having the pins on the socket (when a socket is used) rather than the integrated circuit. [1] An LGA can be electrically connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) either by the use of a socket or by soldering directly to the board. LGA is used as a physical interface for microprocessors of the Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott), Intel Xeon , Intel Core 2 , Intel Core ( Bloomfield and Lynnfield ) and AMD Opteron families. Unlike the pin grid array (PGA) interface found on most AMD and older Intel processors, there are no pins on the chip; in place of the pins are pads of bare gold-plated copper that touch protruding pins on the microprocessor's connector on the motherboard . The most common Intel desktop LGA socket is dubbed LGA 1150 (Socket H3), which is
