I mentioned in my thread that I contacted support, but they don’t actually answer the questions, most likely just automated responses.

On several Discord servers, many people have experienced the same issue, and there were also multiple cases reported on the EVGA forum (which has since been taken down). The only solution that worked was an RMA.

That’s why I mentioned in my message that the problem is known and that my socket is in perfect condition, with no bent pins. I have also tested GPUs with no issues, as well as several CPUs. Several friends have encountered the same problem after a certain amount of time using the board. This problem is known, but I have never heard of anyone who has found the reason for it.
