so what, the problem is the top frame of the socket not pushing the cpu down hard enough? 0_o
that doesnt make much sense to me... like somebody pointed out before, theres actually a plastic frame the cpu package sits on.
so it cant go lower no matter how much pressure you put on it... and even IF it could, why would the cpu have to be pushed lower for vss pins to make propper contact?
shouldnt they make contact at the same time/pressure as vcc pins?

and yes, most 1156 boards use the foxconn socket... i doubt other socket makers could actually produce enough sockets to replace foxconn sockets entirely...
but there should be enough sockets from other makers to replace foxconn sockets on highend boards?
