       LGA 1366 - Introduction

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       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 and is
       superseded itself by LGA 2011. LGA stands for land grid array.
       This socket has 1,366 protruding pins which touch contact points
       on the underside of the processor (CPU)[4] and accesses up to
       three channels of DDR3 memory via the
       processor's internal memory controller.
       Socket 1366 (Socket B) uses QPI to connect the CPU to a
       reducedfunction northbridge that serves mainly as a PCI-Express
       controller. A slower DMI is used to connect Intel's most recent
       northbridge and southbridge components. By comparison, Intel's
       socket 1156 (Socket H) moves the QPI link and PCI-Express
       controller onto the processor itself, using DMI to interface a
       single-component "chipset" (now called PCH) that serves
       traditional southbridge functions. The difference in pin number
       is mostly a reflection of the number of memory channels served.
       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.

       IHS Surface                     890 N (200 lbf)
       266 N (60 lbf)
       Processors using this socket have a lower static load limit than
       previous models using LGA 775.
       Supported chipsets
       The desktop chipset that supports LGA 1366 is Intel's X58.
