We already reported about a year ago on a heated issue at the time of Intel's new socket 1156, which was not grown under high stress in the form of voltage spikes the acting forces - were defective CPUs base and the result. Happy were those who were back on their motherboards a solder base. This provided a higher pressure, thus reducing the risk of failure significantly.
Well, that is processors shortly after market launch of the successor to Socket 1155, the carrier of the brand new Sandy Bridge, are on the way the same dilemma again. Asian sites like Expreview shows first images of congested base, in which the individual pins are turned blue because of the high current and hence to smaller contact areas. Such short-circuits that are on inferior material and borderline constructions due cause damage quickly in the triple digits, the manufacturers pay for the most limited. So here is caution, you should already possess a "K" version of the Sandy Bridge processor are, and try to crack often propagated to 5 GHz mark. Currently, no recommendations are available which boards to recommend for cycle hunters and which are not. Should result in this case but other innovations, we keep you up to date
