LOTES socket on Gigabyte P55A, only the bracket.

[stasio]

Ask me

Its correct; LOTES bracket, FOXCONN plastic/pins... Well I do in fact believe Gigabyte has done some research and it isnt just guessing...
But let the first P55A with burned socket prove me wrong....

I still think it was related to uneven pressure by bracket..

EDIT:
I dont think Gigabyte stated it was LOTES only, I think closest they have stated is "due the issues with the current foxconn sockets, we have changed it", and they have, not fully away from foxconn, but changed it.

Yes,you are right.
LOTES produce only bracket but no plastic socket with pins.This thing confuse some people.
I contacted Lotes last month and they can only retail sell 100pcs and above.
This price I get from them (1 set):
Socket 1156 – USD 3.50
ILM - USD 2.20
Backplate - USD 1.00

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

Btw,for sxs112 and all Asus fans.

Maybe I should open new thread about this.
