Another option would be replacing the backplate with a different one, which supposedly "un"bends the socket  - there is eg. one (or maybe two) made by Alphacool called Alphacool Apex Backplate XPX/Eisbaer LGA 1700, made from steel.

AFAIK the "Alphacool Core Backplate XPX/Eisbaer LGA115x/1200/1700" is also part of this series, as its made from steel, too (and was linked somewhere in the numerous "how to fix the situation with the 1700 socket" videos on YT).


They were created when igorsLab revealed that issue in a video, and I kinda remember that he mentioned they were working together with alphacool to remedy the issue.
