LGA115X is a series of CPU sockets for the Core i3, i5, and i7 family of desktop CPUs. The purpose of a CPU socket is to properly seat the CPU in place on the system mainboard (motherboard) and allows the CPU to interface with the rest of the computer parts. It also makes it easier for the user and/or the computer company (OEM, original equipment manufacturer) to swap out any faulty CPUs or to allow its removal (while the computer's powered off) to conduct maintenance.
