It's been noted from various sources that Intel's upcoming LGA775 processors have pin problems. At CeBIT 2004, various motherboards were reported with having corrupted Sockets. It's a major problem that is currently facing motherboard manufacturers.

I fail to see any more of a problem than I see out of the current cpu designs. The pins have always been fragile because they're gold pins. I've had to bend pins back before, it is *not* fun to do. At any rate, I think Intel's argument to this is that it's cheaper to replace the motherboard than it is any of their CPUs. If a pin bends on a $700 cpu, you're SOL. If a pin bends on a $120 motherboard, it's a lot cheaper to replace. I think the largest problem here is that people are just scared of change since we've been a "pin cpu" userbase for the absolutely longest time. |

Someone needs to rethink the whole CPU motherboard Heatsink situation. They should all slot/screw together effortlessly. I hate having to force catches with screwdrivers it scares the shit out of me. :-) |

AMD Athlon64 cpu's use two screws instead of a catch. Much better idea. |

Another good reason to stay away from Preshott |

I put an athlon 64 + Stock HS/FAN together yesterday and I've gotta say it was one of the most effortless things I've ever done.........A very well though out process. |

CPU's are fragile anyways.. do you treat them with a sledgehammer or how do you manage to screw the pins up? |

well realy no issue unless u keep changing CPUs... and why? i havent upgraded a MB in years. Just build a new one up and send the old along down the line of family and friends. Oh yeah the "enthusiast" have to worry... cause they are going to " upgrade" there prescott with another prescott..... ya i just toss out $300- $700 cpus for a new faster $300 to $700 cpu, and not get a new MB..... pifft lame story |

I have heard bad about these processors too. They cause too many problems. |

There will be different speeds that these CPUs will come in. Just because you don't upgrade as much, there are people who will swap out many processors. For Example: Hardware Review sites will swap processors many times in a day. Then there are test labs at best buy or something where they do testing on customer's computers. I always buy a low-end chip from Intel first then go with high-end. Just because you don't upgrade as much and don't do any tinkering with doesn't make the story lame and IT DOESN'T make the processor fine. I am sure if motherboard makers are worried about this then there is a reason for it. |

well ya the 18 whole ppl who will have a testbed and swap out CPU. Get real. This is a non issue. Of course there should be a simple and fastway to latch down a HSF , but to worry about the VERY few ppl who change out CPUs at every 200mz speed bump is just lame. ( and they would be the one most profecient to do that) . At most ( if the MB alows it) ppl ( all 2000?) will do a second CPU change. The point is MB makers ALWAYS whine, and reviwers ALWAYS whine too. |
