    When were the sockets revised and are they identifiable?

    thats the part Lathode that is all under wraps. I've had two vendors come forwards and show me what Foxconn sent them. Foxconn claim the issue was identified in May and that Intel were due to revise their design to rectify. Apprently these were supposed to be sample sockets with the issue and all issues were supposed to be in house in some vendor labs. Since then there have been issues reported on what is supposed to be the revised Foxconn socket (or samples that have gone into the wild on retail boards), so I'm not sure what to believe at this point. What some of the vendors have seens themselves is not centric to an earlier model or revision of socket.

    raju,

    Many thanks for this information, I wonder if anyone has the before and after pictures of the socket if it was changed? If there is a new version out, how do we spot it.

    I have not been given any real tech specifics on the change at all yet. If/when I find anything out I'll update here straight away..
