Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
So iv been detailing my board for the past few hours readying it for RMA. and I realized that my socket is crazy loose. like its not loose when the socket is clipped down. but when i open it its crazy loose i can wiggle it around and do all kinds of stuff. Does any one else get theit with their 1366 socket? or with EVGA boards in particular? BTW Lotes made my socket

They probably all have a little wiggle room, maybe due to the way you have to clamp it down?

I noticed this 775 board here the socket metal wiggles, but only when not clamped.
