I must admit, I can't see how a that socket would've been able to flex the PCB so much as for it to touch the PCB as it's so light (it would take a relatively high impact on the plug for that to happen...or at least, that's how it seems to me), so from where I am it sounds more likely that the plug slipped out and shorted. But even then, Patrick's said this shouldn't be able to happen, so I dunno. Strange...

I did bend some fins back, but when you look at the pics I took the part hat is touching the plugs is the bottom of the heat sink. I haven't ran my MMM yet and if Patrick need to look at the problem it has, I'll be more than glad to send my Monster for him to inspect it.
