Een reactie van Gigabyte op het LGA1156 mogelijke socket 'burn' probleem :
En reactie van Anandtech op dat antwoord (heb die gast even gemaild) :Hello,
Thank you for supporting GIGABYTE products and contacting GIGABYTE Technical Support.
I did discuss/check this info with our related departments, and we think this maybe can happen when use LN2 and not controlled very well, and/or if the CPU not installed very well in the socket.
Our OCing team have confirmed that they have ran this MB many times, and with other MB’s and they never encountered this problem. And also our PM team says they never heard about this problem on our P55 chipset MB’s.
By this I want to confirm that there no thing wrong with the socket of our P55 MB's.
If you still have any further question or suggestion about our products/service, please do not hesitate to contact with us directly. We will try our best to help you resolve the problem ASAP.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Weird. Here is Foxconn's vendor statement on this;
In the early April, ASUS and Gigabyte obtained a few Foxconn 1156 socket samples for testing purpose. However, around May, Foxconn discovered the caps of the sockets may have some issues and immediately informed INTEL. INTEL responded that the design change would be made in August, but Foxconn strongly requested the design change had to be issued ASAP. Foxconn issued the SCR in May and resend the modified sample sockets to ASUS and Gigabyte.
During the test run in July, ASUS and Gigabyte accidentally used the old/unmodified sample sockets and caused the burning of the CPU. After the clarification from Foxconn, both companies accepted the explanation and would keep using Foxconn 1156 socket . So far, NO similar burning issue has occurred ever since.
There was a similar event in MSI. However it is confirmed that the issue came from the worker's operation error.
It can be verified that Foxconn 1156 socket has the global market share of 80% and shipped out over 1000K and counting.The Foxconn 1156 socket on your sample board is the latest release and will not have the burning issue as reported.
I don't think this is due to the CPU not being installed correctly persoanlly. I have installed may CPU's over the years and never had a problem. ALso strange is how this only happens on Foxconn sockets and not those form LOTES or TYCO AMP.
regards
