Your personal experience seems to confirm it won’t harm the CPU or motherboard. However, others in your class might be referring to different scenarios or misunderstandings. Always double-check with your specific device documentation.

It depends on whether the mainboard or chipset fails to recognize the microcode or if the wiring layout has altered. The new Threadripper was essentially a different socket with the same physical form? Changing the pin configuration would likely cause damage unless the new design only repurposed unused connections, which is unlikely.

It seems the boards might not power up if they don't detect the correct resistance levels for certain pins used for identification. It's unclear how this is supposed to function, but some users have tried fitting 8th/9th generation CPUs into 100 and 200 series boards, which didn't work. After swapping to a 300 series board, it functioned properly, suggesting the issue isn't hardware damage.
