Alert after Intel Skylake chips, mobo sockets 'warp under coolers'

Sorry that handle is already taken. Silver badge

The stock cooler on my Skylake came with a dried out thermal pad that caused overheating and system instability. Used with better quality thermal compound the cooler itself is fit for purpose though.

How Intel can so badly fuck up something so simple boggles my mind.
