What Is LGA 1366 Motherboard?
LGA 1366 motherboardreferstothe kindof motherboardthatis equippedwiththe LGA 1366 type
of CPU socket.
About LGA 1366
LGA 1366 is a type of CPU socket thatwas designedanddevelopedbythe famousprocessor
manufacturerIntel. Itisalsoknownas SocketB and wasreleasedin2008. LGA1366 socket inherits
Intel’sLGA 775 (SocketT) inthe high-endcomputersandperformance desktopsegments.Also,it
supersedesthe Intel’sLGA 771 (SocketJ) in the entry-levelservers.LGA 1366 wasreplacedbyIntel
LGA 2011 (SocketR) in the high-enddesktops onNov.14, 2011, by Intel LGA 1356 inthe low-level
serversin2012, and by LGA 2011-1 inlow- and mid-level serversin2014.

CPU Socket LGA 1366 Basic Information
LGA standsfor landgrid array, and1366 refersto the numberof the pinsor contacts the CPU socket
has.Therefore,LGA 1366 meansthe CPU slotis of landgrid array (flip-chip) formfactorsandhas
1366 protrudingpins. The protrudingpins are usedtotouch the contact pointsonthe bottom of the
CPU and accessup to 3 channelsof DDR3 memoryviathe CPU’s internal memorycontroller.
LGA 1366 makesuse of the Intel QuickPathInterconnect(QPI) toconnectthe processortoa
reduced-functionnorthbridge,whichservesmainlyasa PCI Express controller.The QPIfrequencyis
1x to 2x. A slowerDirectMediaInterface (DMI) isusedtoconnectIntel’slatestnorthbridge and
southbridge components.
By comparing,the Intel’sSocket1156 (SocketH) movesthe QPIlinkandPCI-Econtrollerontothe
processoritself,andusesDMIto connecta single-component“chipset”(now calledPlatform
ControllerHub – PCH) that servestraditional southbridgefunctions.And,the difference in the
numberof memorychannelsismostlyreflectedinpinnumbers (PINs).
