LGA is not new, whether it has more pins or not, still LGA.

That's like saying a new car design is not whether it has more seats or not because it's still a car.

Again remind me again why lga is better than pga?

LGAs tend to have higher pin densities than PGAs. Also convenient for CPU makers to shift responsibility for potential mechanical issues onto socket makers.

FWIW my new build took over a month to finalize because mobo came with bent pins. It was actually repaired - socket was apparently swapped according to RMA ticket.

Pray the RMA guy doesnt bother to check socket, as that will 99% chance be denied - user error I think,

For pins on socket vs pins on cpu, I personally prefer in socket, but given we now seeing motherboards commonly cost more than cpu's maybe my view will change.

Hi,
Mother board rma always requires high resolution images of the socket
So does cpu rma and both sides of the cpu.

seeing this happen with strix e's lately, took photo's of one of them.

single pin on the outer edge, whether or not this a machining error, or occured when the cover itself was placed is irrelevant, it'll still get put on the customer.
with a pin density so great, its impossible for the end user to bend a single pin in this way without jewelers tools or a needle.

Hear is a little snippet:

Reporting and complaining
All posts and private messages have a "report post" button on the bottom of the post, click it when you feel something is inappropriate. Do not use your report as a "wild card invitation" to go back and add to the drama and therefore become part of the problem.

Under no circumstances should you start public drama.
Each forum has several moderators, contact them when you feel there is something wrong.

LGA with their bendy AF socket pins are a bad idea they should use micro bump instead

I came across this the other day & thought it might be a potential solution to LGA issues with 12th gen
