If they had a load of bent ones, I'm not sure why they would send them out knoing they would have to pay for the carriage back again - weird. I reckon they most likely were busy and that was the story you got to get rid of you 
Anyway, when's the new one arriving? |
New one arriving tomorrow from Overclockers.
Latest twist in Scan RMA saga:
Whilst watching some Spanish footie last night, it finally dawned on me what must have happened.
I realised that the guy who did the RMA testing/inspection on my board must have had RMA notes that said something to the effect of 'bent heatsink'. So I figured he probably opened up the motherboard box, took out the second cardboard box inside and went straight to the motherboard in static proof bag. Probably then checking the preattached sinks and finding nothing wrong, and never realised there was a minator in the cardboard box that needed checking.
So I called Scan today and let them know my theory, and sure enough the guy on the phone goes to check my RMAd board and then proceeds to tell me how badly bent the Minator is (finally
). In a way its a shame that I didnt twig all this before I ordered from elsewhere.
Anyway so now im waiting to see if the refund goes smoothly and I get the full amount including shipping costs reimbursed, or they still have the RMA wrongly flagged as fault not found. Good thing I took those photos, because out of principle im not going to accept less than full refund.
Will have my replacement and an E8500 up and running in a few days hopefully.
Lesson learnt from all this for me was, take photos !!
