IS MY MOTHERBOARD CPU SOCET Damaged?
Intel tech support is a joke.... I couldn't understand a word that any of the three tech-support guys said on 3 separate calls. Just bought a DP965LT motherboard and was about to install the cpu when I was examining the 775 cpu socket (please note that I've never done this before so I'm not sure what I'm looking for). The seems like a simple question for anyone who has ever put a pc together (w/ intel 775 motherboard) yet i can't seem to get an answer from anyone. It's been sitting on my desk for an hour now... I could really use some help. Thanks

I believe that the 4 missing contact points on the top and bottom of the socket are normal, but what about the 6 missing [blocks... not sure the righ term.] in the center...
thanks.

I'd recommend going
here
Make an account and show these guys what your problem is. They can help you out.
I recently put together an LGA775 system but I never really paid attention to that part. So I cant really say myself if its normal or not.
Just sign up on Hard forum if you dont get a definitive answer here.

Just be safe and RMA it to the retailer/etailer that you bought it from. You really can't go wrong, and what will you lose...shipping costs?

this seems like a simple question to anyone whos ever seen a 775 cpu socket before, i don't get it. it either looks right or it doesn't. I don't want to return it and wait a week to get another one if the one I have is fine...

Nevermind, it seems as though the motherboard is just fine. I was looking at reviews of that board and found this picture
As you can see, it's missing the exact same blocks you mentioned. Looks normal to me.
