It certainly has insight on how he treated the card when disassembling it, If he was being careful with the whole process it wouldn't look anything like that. He shorted the 280 with the water block I wonder why

that said I would imagine that XFX would glady accept the RMA if OP had just carefully used an Xacto knife to cut the stick around the outline of each screw head.... or just peeled the sticker off as a whole as he should have.
