pushing excessive voltages and clocks into the processor just shows the problem sooner, but the problem is there as it seems that the CPU does not touch all of the pins.......... over time this will become a problem even with normal voltage IMHO.Quote:

So the Biostar boards have a new revision of the Foxconn socket?Quote:

cause i asked about it?Quote:

so if i think an article on madshrimps.be is insipred by a forum thread or somebody elses article, which happens all the time, and i ask you: "why didnt you credit him/them" thats a big deal? how so? if id have said something like "whoa he used this thread/massman and sf3ds findings to create an article without giving them credit, what an sob!" then ok, sure, that would be making it a big deal and out of line... but i know raja for quite some time, so i figured he just forgot it. i used a :stick: smiley in both threads originally but then realized it might make the post look rude and edited the posts to remove them... and i think i forgot it in one of the two replies... but even with that smiley i dont see what the big deal is?
damn... :/ sorry to hear man...Quote:

you had some damn impressive clocks with that one... :/
probably something like that... with the added line: if you want an EVEN better board with a mega ultra durable socket, hand over some more cash pls... :DQuote:

At this point I really needed to know what was causing it. A friend of mine rang the next day and he had the smae problem (he only ran 32m), so the heat was on to find out why this kept happening.Quote:

later

Ah ok, I wasn't 100% sure if they'ld have the socket itself too so I pointed out it's the protector having the foxconn label :)Quote:

cool, cant wait to read that piece :D
so the cpu is still alive?
and it clocks the same?
i have a bad feeling about it though lol, those pads are really thin, and if they are already in bad shape, it makes it more likely for the pins to overheat again...
what do you think, does getting the socket cold enough prevent this from happening?
wouldnt it be alright if the socket and pins would be cooled well enough? then the plastic cant melt, the pins stay in place, plus they get cooled so they keep roughly the same resistance and pressure against the pads... or is it only slowing the chain reaction of higher temps->higher resistance+less pressure against the pad->higher temps?
oh and raja, please enabled pms on xs man... :D
i originally wanted to pm you about not mentioning xs and sf3d and massman but i had to post something cause you have pms disabled :P
Last time I sent a PM on here to someone I got accused of trying to lure away XS staff. So best keep it out in the open, it actually creates less controversy. :) that and I have limited time to answer stuff nowadays.Quote:

This is what mine looks like, mine has no name on the front plate or backplate either yet some have Foxconn on them. (second pic not my board just for description/info purposes)

Anyway I've just checked my CPU under a light with a magnyfying glass & all the gold plates are firmly inprinted against the socket on my CPU so theirs no problem with mine at all lol. :)
I havent got a digital camera as I would just love to proof this & mine has the Foxconn socket! :shrug:

come back to EU man, you logic is affected;)
you edited your post, never saw this:rolleyes:Quote:

also noticed for all the damaged sockets the plastic right at the hinge is either unmarked, or marked with a small 1, 2, or 3. my board has a 4 at the same hinge. any thoughts, is this the socket revision number?
