A motherboard has a processor socket on which a processor (CPU) can be inserted. The socket contains a metal contact pin that is used by the processor to communicate with other components in the computer system.
This blog provides information regarding different types of soldering, such as the way to solder an LGA processor and how to remove a thermal compound.

Types of sockets
There are different types of sockets. An LGA socket is the most common type of socket. LGA stands for Land Grid Array. The socket has a grid pattern on the surface. The grid pattern is used to position the processor and to ensure that the processor will fit into the socket.
If the processor is not a LGA processor, then the processor must be inserted into a different type of socket. The pin of the socket must be different from the pin of the processor.
The pin of the socket is used to connect the processor to the motherboard. The pin of the socket is shaped differently than the pin of the processor.
The pin of the socket is larger than the pin of the processor. The pin of the socket is used to connect the processor to the motherboard.
There are two basic types of sockets, the grounded and the non-grounded. The grounded type is usually used for connecting cables to a piece of equipment, and the non-grounded type is used for connecting equipment to a power supply.
How to solder an LGA processor?
The LGA socket has a rectangular grid pattern. The grid pattern is used to position the processor and to ensure that the processor will fit into the socket.
If you are a beginner, you can use a basic soldering iron and solder. If you are a more experienced person, you can use a soldering iron with a more advanced temperature setting. If you want to be sure that you will not damage the motherboard, you can use a heat gun instead of a soldering iron.
In order to solder an LGA processor, first you need to find a compatible socket. This is the metal plate that the processor will fit into. It is usually located on the back of the motherboard. The socket contains a metal contact pin that is used by the processor to communicate with other components in the computer system.
This socket is usually made of aluminum, and the pin is usually made of gold. If you want to use a heat gun instead of a soldering iron, you will need to find a compatible socket.
After finding the compatible socket, insert the processor into the socket. Then insert the solder into the socket.
conclusion
In conclusion, the main purpose of the socket is to provide a reliable electrical connection between the CPU and the motherboard. The socket is designed to provide a stable mechanical interface that can withstand mechanical stresses, such as shock or vibration and you should always be cautious when dealing with high-voltage equipment. To avoid electrical shocks, wear a high-voltage safety harness. Never use a ground strap that is attached to a grounded object
