LGA 1366, also known as Socket B, is an Intel CPU Socket. This socket supersedes Intel's LGA 775 (Socket T) in the high-end and performance desktop segments. It also replaces the server-oriented LGA 771 (Socket J) in the entry level. LGA stands for Land Grid Array. The word "socket" is a misnomer, because, like its predecessor, this socket has no holes; instead, it has 1366 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor (CPU).[2]
In November 2008, Intel released Core i7 which was the first processor requiring this socket.
Socket B mechanical load limits
Socket B processors have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.
| Location | Dynamic | Static |
|---|---|---|
| IHS Surface | 890 newtons (200 lbf) | 266 newtons (60 lbf) |
The transition to this socket has lowered the static load limit compared to the previous LGA 775 processors.
