Is this a problem or is the glue strong enough to hold it on

I would call the ASUS RMA department and tell them that when you opened the box that cooler was like that. maybe say, that is why you have not used the board. I have found them very leanent.


Question, I have an un-known USB device in device manager. Even will all my USB devices are unplugged. Does any one have that? Or, know what that may be from.

I have air cooling and am on my 3ed cooler. The one I have now is working real well even under hi loads like Prime95 or Ortho etc. I have the Q fan disabled. It is Little loud, but that is OK with me

The CPU cooler has the bottom vents pushing downward toward the backand air is hitting the pipe/ fin power cooler. Directly behind that I have an outward drawing fan. Well anyway, I was looking at that optional fan and decided to try it out despite the warnings. I installed to draw backward. But, in mostly draws down.

My Motherboard temps went from an average 50c ~ 55c under load to around 47c to 50c. The CPU temps are the same as before. This is the first time I tested it because of the warnings
