P55-UD6 socket burn

[saaya]

hmmm makes sense george... pins are not flexible enough to keep the pressure against the cpu pads constant, lower pressure = worse contact = higher resistance = higher temperature = pins lose even more flexibility and force to push up against the pads... and the more pressure you put on them the easier it happens...

but it always happens at one spot, so i think the socket distributes the pressure unevenly as well, which doesnt help...
so while the socket clamp down mechanism works fine in normal situations, here it seems to be a part of the problem, otherwise vcore pins would fail at random locations...

and the socket is foxconn... at least on the earlier versions of the ud6 it was?

francois, if anybody can tell you something about the properties of a contact pin/pad by looking at its shade and color, its probably george

and i dont think overclocking as in increasing the clockspeed voids any warranties, increasing voltages and temperatures is what damages logic, not increasing its clockspeed... if your cpu runs within specced temp and voltages, i dont think the warranty is voided and intel will refuse an rma...
