Well.. it can't be the whole truth, cause I did not even push my board yet. 1.57V was the max voltage in tests
hmmmm maybe current is the prob and not volts?

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..
well condensation probs are likely to happen at the same spot...
hmmm then what do you think the problem is?

bad socket quality i guess? i wouldnt be surprised cause foxconn had probs with the 1366 sockets as well, the early batches were sensitive to get the pins bent easily...

but how can a bad socket cause this? how can all the sockets burn at the same space? maybe thats where the cpus draw the most current through the socket? or thats where the pressure is the highest so the pins make the best contact, other pins make bad contact and even more current flows through those pins, they heat up and bam?
