Comment Comment by LeoPanthera I recently built a Skylake PC and the CPU doesn't have any pins on it - just pads. The motherboard has springy contacts that the CPU rests against.You still have to clamp it down worryingly hard, but it doesn't go crunch anymore, and I think it's probably quite hard to damage the contacts. parent LeoPanthera 8 years ago
