CPU Sockets as Fast As Possible 

03:24 you gotta warn us if you're gonna show gore like that. Such a sad, sad, gruesome pic... 😰

3:23 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I found my first computer collecting dust in the basement about a year ago, and since I hadn't actually gotten into computers until nearly a decade after I stopped using that pc, I never knew what was inside. I opened it up and was greeted by a big cartridge with a tiny fan on it labeled "Pentium II". I hadn't even known at the time that cartridge cpu's ever existed.

3:23 Add a gore warning next time.

I like the new look of Ryzen CPU pins.

5:19 when the Internet is slow

Laughed my ass off at the POS part :DD

I didn't think I was that much of a computer nerd until I actually had a visceral reaction to 3:24

The processor in the middle of the pic with a bunch is a Socket 370, I have a board and Pentium 3 933 with that socket type

Couple days late. Just had a test about this.

"Techquickie just uploaded a video." A little late RU-vid

Fun little fact... AM3+ CPU's are compatible on AM2+ motherboards but not the other way around because they use the same socket type except, AM2+ is only compatible with DDR2 ram and not DDR3, while AM3+ is compatible with both DDR2 and DDR3 ... the only thing AMD did right.

Another great and simple video that explains something we all deal with as tech people. Could you all do a video on the new digital audio products coming out? What I mean is on iOS they will send sound via the Lightning connector or Android sending audio via USB3 type-C connectors on some newer phones. Thank you.

I recommend everyone that want a good pair of headphones get the k7xx. It's easily the best over ear open headphones for only 200 bucks.

I'm still running Ivy-Bridge to this day.

I didn't realise this was so old until he said Zen CPUs were "upcoming"

I had the Pentium 3 1.4 GHz on a cartridge. Still have it actually. With glorious RAMBUS

I like more the AMD socket it's very easy to install the CPU and also if you bent the CPU pins you can put them in the shap they used to be with a knife..cool! And also I need to say that I just like AMD's socket more and no I also have a few intel CPUs so I'm no fanboy.

I like how people forget about bga (ball pin arrangement) its very rare to find a cpu that has a bga socket, if im correct, its in the broadwell micro architecture and in old mobile parts

Me watches this video: Pulseway: Here have more Linus

Linus is living the dream making so much money congrats to him

0:59 sockets were first then cartridges (Pentium 2 / Pentium 3 Katmai) then back to sockets - not cartridges first, AMD - same thing.

0:30 ...Bottom left corner... Oh my, guess somone got fierd.

I love AMD's PGA than Intel's LGA because at least fixing the broken pins is a bit easier

There should have been a warning at the beginning of this video about the intensely disturbing images shown at 3:24 .

God... That picture of the bent pins gave me cancer...

Pssss... AMx+ sockets are sometimes backwards compatable with the non+ versions. ie: AM3+ socket will work with AM3 chip, but not the other way around. :3

That picture of the bent pins was triggering my ocd

Some of the intel laptop processors back then used PGA.

Nice green hue Linus

huh i never really thought about the word socket in that way of relating to a wall socket.. its just a more complex version of the same thing which is weird. but oddly the same. i guess i already knew that though.

Cpu's inserted into place without needing pressure is ZIF, Zero Insertion Force. I waited to hear it. I didnt. :(

Can you guys do Mac OS explained for your next Techquickie???

POS generally stands for Point of Sale in the professional world :P

You should do a video on heatsinks, and how they work.

😂😂😂I literally just got an ad from DellTechSupport explaining this😂😂😂 Gg RU-vid

3:26 somebody fucking stepped on that

My old PC I have now uses an Intel pentium 2 socket

The CPU socket 00:32 seconds in the bottom right hand corner has some kind of inverted swastica

3:26 that's my phenom x4 cpu right now.

Pentium 3 was also a cartridge CPU.

i think lga 1151 is just absolutely ridiculous, like srsly? a single pin more ? you needed that?

I personally think both 'array styles' used by AMD and Intel make sense for their products. In most cases an Intel CPU will cost much more than the motherboard so theoretically it's better for the pins to break on the motherboard rather than on the CPU

I enjoyed building my First PC, can't wait to do it again!

girls explained next epsiode ?

Last time I came this early UK was still United Kingdom, now it's Divided Kingdom

3:24 my soul ached to see all those pins messed up

90% of people comments of "first" and "early" while 10% comments about what this video is all about. #cancer

That Starbucks looks exactly like one of the 13 in my town!

I found one of my parents old pcs in there closet so I decided to clean it up as I had nothing to do and it was the weekend and I kinda got bored of most of my games so then when i was taking out components I realized I hadn't taken out the cpu yet so I looked around and found a cartridge with a 40 or 20 mm fan mounted on it and I thought ok well that must be an old cpu so I googled it and realized that cpus were also inserted like cartridges a while ago I was then confused as to how to remove it as it was bolted on the mobo with rivets and other stuff that is hard to remove.

Why in the world would anyone dislike this video??? It gave us information about sockets

would be funny and more accurate to call POS instead of LGA on Intel chips, because it describes itself in 2020.

Please also make a video on how you guys edit these AWESOME looking As Fast As Possible videos!

Techquickie is a terrible name.... it sounds like an android giving really fast hand-jobs....

I wish all cpu used the same connectors

When he says "the new Zen architecture" I immediately had to check how old this was. Yep it's old af.

You darn kids today! In my day we had to pound the CPUs in with a hammer! And pry them out with a little crowbar (literally!) And cooling fans?! Bah!! The chip got really hot until it burst into flames and burned your house down! And we liked it!!! 😡

Things that were either incorrect or missing: -CPUs on cards were an experiment, and before them PGA sockets already existed. They were mostly useful in the days of the external L2 cache. -Back then, both manufacturers used the same sockets, but Intel in order to monopolize the x86 CPU market they made their own sockets exclusive, forcing AMD to use their own and several 3rd party manufacturers to leave the market.

techquicky always makes ya look so yellow :P

oh jeez this brought back some bad memories. A few years back I had a fairly nice little prebuilt pc and it was starting to show its age. I checked on the case and it proudly displayed "AMD athlon 2" on it so I did the "logical" thing and went ahead and purchased an AMD FX 8350. not smart. so I get home with this beastie in my hand and set about trying to pull my computer apart and after a lot of effort I finally got to the motberboard which, superficially at least, appeared to have the right sockets. This was back when I didn't know about sockets. "AMDs are easy to install" they said. about five minutes of wrangling later and I'd bent two pins. an hour of desperate wiggling with a knife later and those pins totally came off. I spent the next hour or so practically crying at my own failure. and that's the story of how I threw away about £180 on a processor and then killed it before I even got to run it.

Those bent CPU pins made me Cringe

gathering information to help me when I build a pc for the first time...all this knowledge is a bit nerve wracking...

2:57 And Zen+... And Zen 2... and Zen 3. You had a great run, AM4.

That Starbucks girl.... XD Omg!

"A-Series" just triggered Siri on my iPhone

Amazing - Whoever suggested this topic is amazing. I was just looking for a decent video about this the other day, but came up severely short. +1

yeah i have bent pins before (on intel), had a old pentium d rig (pentium d 945 i think, either way i know it was 3.4ghz stock) which during a thermal paste replacement we got a little on the pins on the board, we then tried to wipe it clean but ended up bending on of the pins, turns out it wasent just another ground pin we bent so pc didnt boot. next day went out and built a new system, AMD athlon II x4 640, 4GB ram and geforce gtx9600 512MB now im on AMD Phenom II x6 1055t OC'd to 3.5ghz 9GB DDR3 1333MHz 1TB Hitachi ECO drive 480GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD AMD R7 270/270X (both the 270 and 270X are the same, just the 270X has an extra 6 pin power connector)

I bought a Intel core i3-8100 3Ghz+ (Overclock) for my trash picked pc which is upgraded already it is using a clarckdale and a core i3-550 3.2GHz I tought the 8100 should fit because I thought all i3s where the same so I found it out the hard way by breaking my pins

This is linus tech tips source and video😐😐😐😐

Man. My intelligence increased by 2. it was a 4 so it's not much but dammit, *I'm smarter because of this video!* _Thanks._

Well my CPU use BGA2011 so that's mean there is no contact point on CPU or socket, it soldered on to motherboard, so no more bent pins. (Great!) And that's mean i'm stuck with it forever (Well, if i got desolder station I could upgrade.) DAMNIT.

My mobo uses lga 771 narrow ILM. I am using lga 775 compatible heatsinks (dual socket mobo.) I had to make custom mounting brackets so that I could mount the heatsinks. Screw compatibility, I will make it work! :D

Me: Won’t build a desktop pc in the coming years because of lack of money and and the fact i need a laptop for transportability. Also me: ahh Techquickie a video about cpu sockets! I must watch this instead of doing literally anything else!

1:41 11 yr old pc that runs rainbow 6 Siege at 60 frames highest settings but still uses a lga 775 socket. My socket did not show up on the chart. Prob cause those CPUs are considered fossils.

I love how targetted advertising by Linus doesn't require any data mining, coding, or browser history snooping. Keep up the awesome work!

How about doing a shootout of the best available PCIe x1 GPUs? Why? For people wanting to get a bit more kick out of small form factor PCs to free RAM from the integrated video, or just for adding more monitors to a desktop that only has an x1 slot.

Yesterday I were at NetOnNet(PC Hardware Store) I saw a guy who bought a I5 Lga1151 and a Z97 Lga1150 mobo. I tought about telling him.

so i'm looking to upgrade my pc right now i have a i5-4690k and im looking at maybe a i7-4790k would be possible to do it by just changing the cpu and not the motherboard? thanks

lga is inferior. you can keep a cpu in a tiny box to keep pins straight, and they are easy to bend back. lga pins bend easy af and with bad eyes are very hard to work with. amd stickin with ZIF :)

Both of these ways of connecting CPU's seem quite archaic, you'd have thought they could have come up with better ways of connecting them, considering the money they throw at developing CPU's.

Great video I think I'll pass on the $200 headphones though. The only $200 headphones I use are the ones that I came as a package deal with my Samsung

AMD is basically just as good but HOT. IF you live in a hotter climate just spend the extra money. AMDs will make your room 5 degrees hotter.

Can I just say I love quickie? I learnt everything about hardware from him, Thanks for being born mate!!!Cheers

Your description of inserting the CPU into the Socket gave me the fucking horn, the coolant tip made me think of putting an ice pack on my arse, useful for these hot and sweaty summer months. Thanks, Linus. You're a star.

So im making a pc for the first time and i just saw this AFTER ordering my parts and since im fucking stupid i bought a amd motherboard with a intel cpu. What should i do?

Hey, i am badiuzzaman sabuj from bangladesh. i face some problem with my notebook toshiba satellite c-50B and now i want to update my notebook ram can you tell me about it.

cant believe watching this 2024 lol ty again, regardless of the allegations, if their true, own up to it, but love your work

I was gonna use a interl core i5 that is a LGA1150 Socket, but the mother board is LGA1151.. Do they work with eachother ?

hmm.... no Ball Grid Array(BGA) is mentioned. commonly used in mobile devices, and are more likely a permanent connection. not available to everyday customers

Here is a stupid question if someone could answer me. Can i fit a 1150procesor socket on a motherboard 1155socket?

this should be one of the first things a person learns when learning about computers. i just had a person reach out to me about a faulty psu which ened up being a ruined 3rd gen i5 because his friend bought him an lga 1150 board when his processopr needed and lga 1155 board. he forved the processor in and cracked and bent a corner of his cpu by forcing it in.

Recommended Video Im Lebron James

whats the deference between LGA 1151 and the U3E1 ? i noticed in many oem like i5 and i7

I have no idea about PC, but I have a gaming rig from 2012, that I am trying to upgrade. It runs with an Intel Core I7 as I'm aware.

0:35 is asus m5a78l le motherboard

thats the cooler i use !!! cooler master vortex plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know that am5 will be lga

I dunno why but when I watch a tech video from a few months ago after seeing CES stuff it all feels like 2 year old stuff

Linus, if you would be able to do an updated Hackintosh tutorial on your other channel, that would be much appreciated =))

I cannot beleive they have an 1150 and an 1151 socket whom are both not compatible with each other at all what a load of money making bullshit.
