I’m sure Intel testing them is fine, it’s if retailers are testing them, that’s the problem

100% although I think we have had the OCUK official stance on what they do more than a few times. The question I guess is do you trust it. In this instance I would give them the benefit of the doubt I think.

I don't think you can, what you can see is an amount of corrosion where the pads were not touching the pins. if I cleaned it with ipa you wouldn't see a thing i'm fairly sure of that. Interesting but i'm fairly sure the socket will not have enough pressure to damage the cpu pads with indents.

You can watch here, albeit socket 2011 / 1155 for the load on the CPU when retain


go to 1min 42sec for the relevant part.


Seems potentially to be quite a lot and understandable as to why the pads can be marked / indented.

Interesting stuff. Seemingly quite a lot of pressure but if you spread that across say 1700 pins then pressure per pin is not that much, assuming this is similar to the high heels argument. A rabbit hole I don't want to go down :cry:
