This bending happens when a user attempts to insert the processor into the motherboard socket. When users force the new elongated chips into the current socket set, it can affect increases in the chip's temperature. While this seems like a minor problem, significantly, when the processor's temperature rises about 5° C, this can place a damper on the efficiency of the chip and the overall lifespan of the Intel Alder Lake chips. > In the following video by Jisaku Hibi, you can see this warping in action, as well as the effect this has on the system attempting to maintain proper cooling levels:
