P55-UD6 socket burn

[cowpuppy]

More likely poor contact in places than no contact at all. If the contact resistance is altered to some key signal pins, you'd get erratic behaviour.

Poor contact will effect ever1 overclockler or not. Those contacts do more than just deliver juice they also send data. no contact memory might not work. no contact PC! express may be compromized and so on this will effect every1 not just overclockers.

This was going to happen sooner than later with the pins in the sockets. to many variables. You know how difficult it is to make those pins perfect every time? doesn't look like it leaves much room for error. Then you have the plastic housing and other plastic parts in the socket that they protrude through. Any1 ever work at a plastics factory? Well I have and it's not exactly the best repeatable process. it could even come down to some moron forgot to turn on the water to the tool, but more likley some (_{_) of a boss wanted the job speed up to make more $$$$ and the parts are warped or flash in the holes pushing the pins in the wrong direction or limiting their movement.
