the gd80 also uses a foxconn socket...

raja and hipro, do you think a redesigned socket with better shaped pins and maybe thicker pins and contact heads and higher pressure onto the pads will make a big diference?
how many extra watts can a lotes or other more robust socket deliver without running into these problems?
so far it hasnt happened on lotes sockets it seems...

thx for all the input and testing raja!
