P55-UD6 socket burn

[Raja@ASUS]

did you use vaseline inside the cpu socket around the pins? if no then it could still have been insulation... or too much pressure maybe?

the socket pins are bad hipro? what exactly is wrong with them? bad shape or cheap metal?

It was selaed - the whole socket with eraser. We're only talking one lone pad on mine, no blemishes elsewhere (how likely is that?). I know you're trying to be thorough - but believe me I already checked for everything.No burned socket pins on mine; just the single CPU pad and everything around it is perfect. if the socket were at fault btw, it would certainly have been nailed by my other CPU which I gave more voltage and clocked higher.

3 guys with insulation problems within a few days and all of us at the same part of the CPU? Clamping pressure was what I normally use for my other CPU too, no problems there..
