Over here there is definitely not a vast selection of motherboards to choose from,only Asus and GB.
All Asus boards use Foxconn's sockets,but I have heard that after this GB switched over to Lotes - how to
know whether socket is Lotes-made?
My first pick was P7P55D Pro,but then I heard they are all Foxconn.Then I decided to buy GB P55-UD6,it is overall better board
I suppose,some great OC with her I saw,and then I notice this thread and realize that all started with UD6 :D
Is there any way to stay on the safe side?Clamp the socket and then carefully examine pads on CPU for pin-to-pad contact?
Does this problem occur only in extreme conditions (ln2,phase) or normal day to day usage,too?
