The condition of that RMA exchanged board is kind of "bogus"!!

I guess the best way to ensure a new board is to do an RMA/exchange with the original retailer. It so happened that B3's were already out when I purchased mine but I still have a dead TP67XE that I'm waiting to exchange at Micro Center when ever they get the B3 versions back in stock.

I also have a perfectly functioning B2 ASRock Pro Fat that I bought second hand on the classifieds and the only way to get a B3 is to RMA direct with ASRock. Now I'm wondering what kind/condition board I'll end up with when (if) I RMA it?
