Very interesting and disturbing info's here, especially bad for me because, roughly 3 weeks ago I put together a system for the Wife using this same motherboard.

System Config:
i5-750, Gigabyte P55-UD6(yes foxconn socket with smaller side-tabs on latch, box says rev.1), 2x4gb Corsair Dominator ddr3-1600, GTX 275, Prolimatech Meghalems rev.2 w/2 120mm fans, TX750w, Vertex 60gb, caviar black 1tb, HAF932.

She play's most of the "heavier" games, GTA4, Crysis, etc.
Some video encoding will be done on this system as well.

I need an educated guess/opinion please.
Do you think this setup is still going to be prone to socket burn running at bone-stock settings, but relatively high/max cpu loads?
I know this is probably a silly thing to consider after all that's been said already but, doesn't the heatsink/mount help apply positive pressure to the cpu and clamp?

Thanks guys.
