Being socket 1155, a person would have to try and force the CPU in the socket by putting it in the wrong way around and the alignment notches being at the wrong end or sideways to do any damage. Once again you being experienced that sort of thing would be seen even before clipping down the clamp. Just curious, did you put back the plastic protection cover over the CPU socket before sending it back ? |

Just curious, did you put back the plastic protection cover over the CPU socket before sending it back ? Of course, but still wish I photographed the socket . . . I have now straightened the pins well enough I believe, but the upshot is, even if the board doesn't boot up, I will never be sure if due to the socket or the suspect original DOA I was returning it for . . . lol I dont know if The suppliers damaged the board to avoid RMA or not, I have no prove, I didn't even realize this sort of thing went on, but I will be sure to protect myself in future . . . |

| 1298859 | 2012-11-29 22:32:00 | Thought Id update everyone....The Boss decieded to update the conroe build I did for his homw pc back in 2006, so got another 16GB pack and i5 3470...Got the board setup on open bench, cpu fan and 1 stick of 4gb as i only have an old 350 PSU attached with 20 pin mobo plug...so, boots up fine, OC to 4ghz fine...attach SSD and install windows fine and Im thinking at this point sh*t, i must have stuffed the socket pins as they stated as after straightening them up its working....how embarrassing.... Turn the unit off, install the other 12gb......oooo, no boot?, what?...remove 3 sticks, boots fine, move the single stick around the slots and it appears the A1 & A2 memory slots are faulty, and when I built it originally, I had all slots filled which is why it would boot.... Dang...I have e-mailed Ascent, to see what they say, not holding my breath! |
