So,there is nothing that you,as an end-user,could do to avoid this from happening?
Over here there is definitely not a vast selection of motherboards to choose from,only Asus and GB.
All Asus boards use Foxconn's sockets,but I have heard that after this GB switched over to Lotes - how to
know whether socket is Lotes-made?
My first pick was P7P55D Pro,but then I heard they are all Foxconn.Then I decided to buy GB P55-UD6,it is overall better board
I suppose,some great OC with her I saw,and then I notice this thread and realize that all started with UD6

Is there any way to stay on the safe side?Clamp the socket and then carefully examine pads on CPU for pin-to-pad contact?
Does this problem occur only in extreme conditions (ln2,phase) or normal day to day usage,too?
