They exist in different forms and industries, so PGA latching mechanisms aren't directly comparable to Intel's.

so u r going to stay true to your moto, " If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" i see. the rant part was only this btw - " 1) but instead i am furious at how many posts i have seen for the last 12 months about people ripping out CPU with cooler? rant : i have read 100s of comments saying how much they fear if they got any PGA cpu and it's not in motherboard (we are talking about normal people now don't go and say let them but a cpu tray.) explaining there fear of dropping/falling of cpu accidentally and bending of pins for silly reason." like i said it was not about lga vs pga. it's about improvement. https://www.google.com/search?q=improvme...CAw&uact=5 " a thing that makes something better or is better than something else " yes but one can get new mobo i guess u don't know this, https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/26...y-warranty but just like kakarotto mentioned - "That's funny because I've returned 2 defective boards to Fry's electronics and when they checked the socket they found nothing. I've swapped out processors hundreds of times for whatever reason and it's very, very difficult to bend 1 pin. It's one of those things where if pins get bent it's at least going to be several, not just one. Some of these motherboard companies take this excuse when a board is returned to them." (another side note is you can fry your mobo to get a replacement.... yeah.... i got a friend who did it and managed to get new one.... he is a hoarder....) but you don't get new cpu for bent pins, yes u can unbend or even reattach them but still there's this slight advantage lga ( it's very, very difficult to bend 1 pin) got and pga has got some room for improvement there's no down side to it, is there? and when there's global chip shortage i would say it's worth it would have been worth it for those who got the cpus and couldn't fix it or wasted time/mood bcuz missing or bent pins. i would love to see a happier world, even if that change is tiny, at the cost of change of lid shape and a better holding system. hmm i didn't know this. and it also means - that many people don't tamper with their pcs? damn. (tamper as in changing,upgrading,cleaning,reapplying things periodically). and many just got used to it, yes they pointed it out that's why i could remember it so clearly (getting their cpu ripped out even if they pulled it out straight). i would still like to see improvement with the pda cpu socket holding/latch system, since there's no down side (unless i get to know some).
I'm not sure, but I got the point you were making. This image is definitely worth checking out!
he's not denying any drawbacks, both connectors have their issues. It's extremely tough to twist just one pin on either side, and adjusting a CPU pin is far simpler than doing the same on a motherboard. I don't think LGA has a clear edge, though people can usually fix it or replace the chip. From what I've seen, it's much easier to bend pins back on a CPU than on a motherboard. Those who understand the process rarely run into problems, right? It's similar to driving—someone with years of experience is safer than someone just starting out.
The product looks neat, but it doesn’t alter the socket design as you might expect. That change would stem from the motherboard makers using AMD’s specifications. I suspect cost factors play a role here. The plastic is far cheaper to make than the metal brackets for LGA, which helps lower consumer prices. This isn’t a permanent solution, just a short-term fix. And honestly, it’s not a bad one at all—I don’t think so. Since I’ve disassembled many processors, I know the IHS plate usually detaches easily from the die and sticks to the cooler. Just twisting it off works perfectly.
After spending the last 10 years with Intel, my biggest fear moving back to AMD was those effing pins lol.. I ripped out CPU's in the past as was ok most of the time except one time. Its always that one time that sours your opinion lol.. I've had my cooler off four or five times now on my new AMD setup, and the CPU stayed where I put it.. there is a technique to getting the cooler off while leaving the CPU behind. Push down and twist and rock it just a little to break the seal and your set. Might have to sit there and twist back and forth a bit..
I'm referring to the situation you described earlier. In the end, it felt much harder than at first. The person from school was there. We didn't have compressed air and we were... well, we didn't know what to do. We tried cleaning it, but it didn't help. Then we handed it over to a technician who did a much better job than us. The fix worked, and the device was successfully installed on someone else's computer. (Since he managed to get it from the teacher.)
