        Yeah, luckily.

        It was stupid that the most expensive part had the extremely fragile pins (although IIRC the pins on PGA are tougher than LGA pins)

          And this change (as well as the requirement for DDR5 memory), made AM4 to AM5 an expensive upgrade.

            Motherboards are quite expensive nowadays.

              Yeah, I got a normal one (not super expensive, not super cheap) and it was about the same as my CPU.
