CPU into wrong socket?

Go to solution Solved by Guest Kloaked,

Doing so may cause nausea, vomiting, water weight gain, lower back pain, receding hairline, eczema, seporiasoriasis, itching, chafing clothing, liver spots, blood clots, ringworm, excessive body odor, uneven tire wear, pyorrhea, gonorrhea, diarrhea, halitosis, scoliosis, loss of bladder control, hammertoe, the shanks, low sperm count, warped floors, cluttered drawers, hunchback, heart attack, low resale value on your home... feline leukemia, athlete's foot, head lice, clubfoot, MS, MD, VD, fleas, anxiety, sleeplessness, drowsiness, poor gas mileage, tooth decay, parvo, warts, unibrow, lazy eye, fruit flies, chest pains, clogged drains, hemorrhoids, dry heaving and sexual dysfunction.

 

EDIT: I need to point out since this has been selected as 'best answer' that this isn't my joke. It's a joke by Jeff Foxworthy and he's funny as hell.

What happens if you put a CPU into a socket that it's not supposed to go into? For example, the Core 2 processors have the exact same size as modern LGA1150 CPUs. Say if you manage to fit that old processor onto a LGA1150 motherboard, what would happen? (Would it blow the shit up? xD)

BRRRT!

Sometimes catches on fire.. the house burns down.. your neighbors hate you.. move to another country and call yourself Paco and live your days out in misery..

I'm pretty sure LGA775 has pins on the CPU, whereas LGA1150 has pins on the mono. It'd be like trying to put two male electrical plugs together

LGA775 does not have pins on the CPU, it's on the motherboard. :)
