Então não é que na CeBit se descobriu que o Socket T só pode ser usado 2 ou 3 vezes antes de se partir...
Hilariante.
During the whole CeBIT exhibition I noticed plethora of mainboards based on the newest Grantsdale (i915P/i915G) and Alderwood (i925X) chipsets with corrupted Socket T. There were so many damaged Sockets for Intel’s LGA775 processors around that I asked from a mainboard maker about this issue. Apparently, the problem with pins in Socket T is real and is pretty nasty.
After a number of processor installations tiny pins bend and the whole mainboard becomes useless. This is certainly not a problem for PCs that are never upgraded, but users who modernize their computers should be very careful with installation of new CPUs. Furthermore, system integrators should probably get themselves prepared for pretty tough microprocessor installation. The issue should also be extremely horrible for test laboratories, where plethora of chips may be changed on a single mainboard per single day.
