mine has foxconn socket EVGA P55 FTW. no problems here when it comes to burning. it does bork up the mem controller every now and again if I tighten my block down to hard. I cant seem to find anywhere how much pressure should be used on 1156 setups anywhere. i dont know if its just my board or what but I have to run my cpu block super loose or it only shows 2GB of ram.
