The CPU fits into a specific slot on the motherboard known as a CPU socket. This socket type varies depending on the CPU architecture, with common types including LGA (Land Grid Array) and PGA (Pin Grid Array). The socket ensures proper alignment and electrical connections between the CPU and the motherboard. It's essential to match the CPU with the compatible socket type to ensure proper functionality.
