Anyone know what the ZIF on AMD and Intel mobos r made of? I know its plastic - theres the arm you swing down to lock down the CPU, but what is the rest of it comprised of, between the solder on the mobo and the actual CPU ..... if anyone has a link to a pic or summin please post it! i cant seem to find any thru Google (maybe I'm typing the wrong words in the search)

Thank you!

Welcome to http://www.pcguide.com/ubb/pcgubb.gif

If I really wanted to know (I don't), I would pick up a dead mobo and pry it off to see. There are lots of dead mobos around and since they are considered toxic waste most people would be glad to get rid of one.
