Brand: Intel · SKU: INTEL-LGA1155-H2 · MPN: LGA1155 · Category: Components
The Intel Socket H2, commonly known as LGA 1155, is a land grid array (LGA) CPU socket designed for desktop and server-grade processors. Introduced in January 2011, it served as the primary interface for Intel's 2nd Generation 'Sandy Bridge' and 3rd Generation 'Ivy Bridge' microarchitectures. The socket features 1,155 protruding pins that make contact with the processor's pads. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory and integrates high-speed interfaces like PCI Express 2.0 and 3.0, as well as Direct Media Interface (DMI) 2.0. The LGA 1155 socket was a significant evolution in Intel's mainstream platform, providing a robust foundation for everything from budget Celeron and Pentium chips to high-performance Core i7 and Xeon E3 series processors. It maintained the same 75mm x 75mm heatsink mounting holes as its predecessor (LGA 1156) and its successors (LGA 1150, 1151, and 1200), ensuring broad cooling compatibility.
