I would bet a quarter that it is Foxconn.

Why not look at the socket yourself? Since you have the board and all...

Yeah, it should say on the retention mechanism, the socket, and/or the mobo backplate.

Last time I went to Fry's, I took down the model numbers of all the boards that had a LOTES socket.

eVGA:
P55 SLI
P55 SLI FTW
P55 NF200 FTW
P55 NF200 Classified
P55 LE

MSI:
MSI P55-CD53 LGA 1156

Intel:
BOXDP55WG LGA 1156
BOXDP55WB LGA 1156

Biostar:
T5 XE CFX-SLI
TP55

Now I'm not sure if all the manufacturers solely use LOTES sockets or Fry's merely chose to display those that had them upon hearing about the Foxconn socket incidents.

For example, EVGA use mostly LOTES, while with MSI it's 50/50 (ie. The low-range CD53 had LOTES while the mid-range GD65 had Foxconn)
