    Do all DFI Mobo RMA's look like mine??

    I got my RMA back from DFI.. BUt it looks really strange. it had stickers on it saying "return". Not sure what this all means.


    Any clue?
    Thanks

    Nice.

    They sent you a board somebody else RMA'ed.

    You should leave your address in the BIOS or somewhere so that you can contact the person who ends up with the one you sent in

    um, anyone else realize the fact that the retention grate is taped to the ram sockets....

    that was probably something they got sent back...and that return sticker dosent look very professional...probably a mom and pop store or an independadt builder taping on a little reminder to themselves that the board is dead

    There is no way in hell that is an authentic DFI RMA..

    Oh wow.....that is not very nice. Board broken and now it looks worse after RMA? lol
    Why did they tape the socket on the DDR slots and expose the pins? Isn't that easier to damage than with the socket in its place?

    I got my mobo back from RMA once, had the little sticker on chipset... they wouldn't RMA it because of AS5 on the chipset.

    WOW that is HARSH! For a company that focuses on overclocking boards, they should expect overclockers to do that.

    That sucks ass man.. but all you have to do is replace the AS5 with cheap Thermal Tape and they don't know the difference

    I hate those pink TIM that they put on the chipset heatsinks. They are a pain to remove..........

    Those pink stuff are always on the ASUS chipsets.

    I did, but then they sent it back because it didnt have the thermal pad that's originially on there.

    DFI?

    Because according to dfi-street, they accept AS5 as being ok on chipset!

    Over at dfi-street the DFI USA support guys recommend doing the AS5 thing on the chipset cooler and the thread by Angry_games explicitly says you don't void your warranty doing so. Unless you screw it up, of course, AS5 on the circuits is bad news.

    It's a sticky in their NF4 section.

    Ummm well i can post quotes from wut i recived from Donna(DFI RMA chick), but i dont understand why they must go through this standard procedure... the DIMM slots were messed up not the chipset, anyways sorry for thread jacking, but i got me a nice mobo from Mwave(A.D0) RMA'ing the mobo another 4th time is a pain... since i lose $$ in shipping.

    Call Mushkin, I've sent stuff back and almost always have gotten upgrades from what I sent in.
