P55-UD6 socket burn

[Raja@ASUS]

Is that from a Foxconn socket or LOTES? Have you tried subzero at ~5GHz with a LOTES socket yet?

Foxconn once again

Zero burnouts on LOTES so far. Even at higher OC's and more VCC (current draw), I've had no problems on the TYCO AMP or LOTES sockets.

I should add that it does not take much current when the contact is bad - 7.5 ~ 10 amps is very low VCC draw (factor VTT out of that) and the subzero die temps cooling the internal power plane. The pins break the thermal inertia and still manage to melt despite the sub-zero die temps.
