Anandtech said:We have not had any problems with air or water cooling overclocking up to 4.3GHz, although we do have a i5/750 that has developed a few dark pads after a thousand hours or so of constant overclocking. However, none of the boards have developed pin problems so we feel very safe in saying that any problems will probably occur only in extreme overclocking scenarios.
From the comments on that article, your board uses a LOTES socket, which was the other one mentioned in the article (which does not have the problem these Foxconn ones do).They mentioned Asus uses Foxconn sockets in all of their P55 boards, I wonder if that's the case with their LGA1366 stuff. I might pull my CPU out this weekend and double check it just to be absolutely sure it's okay.
