Socket 370 (also known as the PGA370 socket) is a common format of CPU socket first used by Intel for Pentium III and Celeron processors to replace the older Slot 1 CPU interface on personal computers. The "370" refers to the number of pin holes in the socket for CPU pins. Modern Socket 370 fittings are usually found on Mini-ITX motherboards and embedded systems.

Technical specifications
Socket 370 was originally used for the Intel Celeron, but later became the socket/platform for the Coppermine and Tualatin Pentium III processors, as well as the Via-Cyrix Cyrix III, later renamed the VIA C3. Some motherboards that used Socket 370 support Intel processors in dual CPU configurations. Others allowed the use of a Socket 370 or Slot 1 CPU, although not at the same time.
The weight of a Socket 370 CPU cooler should not exceed 180 grams (6.3 ounces). Heavier coolers may result in damage to the die when the system is not properly handled.
Socket 370 Intel processors mechanical load limits
Most Intel Socket 370 processors (Pentium III and Celeron) have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heat sink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.
| Location | Dynamic | Static |
|---|---|---|
| Die Surface | 890 N (200 lbf) | 222 N (50 lbf) |
| Die Edge | 667 N (100 lbf) | 53 N (12 lbf) |
Socket 370 Intel processors with integrated heat sink mechanical load limits
All Intel Socket 370 processors with integrated heat sink (Pentium III and Celeron 1.13–1.4 GHz) have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.
| Location of integrated heat sink | Dynamic | Static |
|---|---|---|
| surface | 890 N (200 lbf) | 667 N (100 lbf) |
| edge | 556 N (125 lbf) | N/A |
| corner | 334 N (75 lbf) | N/A |
