This was a socket 1155.  The pins are on the socket side.  I was
not precise enough in my writing.  (Guess I expected everyone knew
what I was talking about.)

My guess was that there is a defect in materials on one of the
pins, such as a burr, that caused the pin to buckle instead
of retract.

ASUS will not warranty this, so if it happens to you, ASUS
will not back you up.  Essentially you self insure: you
are on your own.

On the bright side, ASUS motherboards run damn fine, once
you get them running.
