LOTES socket on Gigabyte P55A, only the bracket.

Someone bought a Gigabyte P55A-UD5 and found out the "LOTES socket" is actually bracket.


Gigabyte don't use LOTES socket on P55A baords as they claimed,
or they use only the lotes bracket not the whole socket.

It's said in serveral review that Gigabyte will use LOTES socket instead of FOXCONN.

But the truth is, they're still us FOXCONN socket, they only change the bracket to LOTES.
I just wonder if Gigabyte do this to make us believe they're using LOTES socket.
What if under the LOTES bracket, there is a cheap socket other than FOXCONN?
Would we know? Should we use it?
