  It might still be. The article does mention that the numbers might be caused by its popularity and that the issue isn’t exclusive to it.

    True, but the issue to me is ASRock blaming the entire problem on debris in the socket.

      Fair point. It might be an emergency PR fail, but it does feel quite embarrassing to close the topic blaming the users.

        Especially when these boards have likely been sealed by AsRock until just moments before having the CPU installed.
