P55-UD6 socket burn

[Chrysalis]

Well before I proceed I may post a pic.

the asus rep I see didnt post again. Some updates here.

1 - I checked the pins before installation all look correct.
2 - I checked again the bracket and socket to the pics posted here, and it matches the foxconn on the burnt socket (if its revised I dont see it).
3 - I have now installed the cpu and it looks unbalanced, the right bit on the bracket that sticks in has good contact with the cpu, but the left bit is barely covering the cpu which would indicate unbalanced cpu fitting in the socket, this is not something I can adjust as the bracket is lined up with the screw at the front inside the gap on the bracket. I have not installed a fan yet so I can I guess take the cpu out to check if all pads have contact but if its going to fail it will fail either way.

STEvil if its only for cost reasons then I think its clear intel have balls'ed up here, pins going into holes in a socket is a massive improvement over this.

are all reported burnouts on the left side of the socket? as to me the left side of the bracket looks to be a manufacturing process defect.
