    Wow thanks, I didn't realize the little ceramic cap was all messed up too. I ended up getting an Asus x99 e, mostly because my budget wouldn't allow for anything else much more expensive. ANNND, I built the system thursday as well and its running great! Only issue was one of the lanes didn't want to recognize either of the ram sticks so I just switched up the slots I put them in and its running graet!

    Super helpful, thanks! I just returned it. I didn't want to deal with that my first time around, despite it potentially being an easy fix. I didn't want it to lead to anything down the line, potentially having to replace anything else. Ill just have to find another x99 board online. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it!

    I figured as much. I appreciate it! Definitely doesn't look good, also not terribly comfortable fixing it myself considering this is my first build.

    I bought an Asus x99 Deluxe at a local computer store for a bangin deal (193 with tax), but it was used. Apparently they buy stuff that were returns from amazon resellers. Anyway, it was just the board with nothing else, and as I was putting the ram in I noticed one of the capacitors in the top right corner of the board was bent, and at a significant angle, nearly 45 degrees. Should I be worried? Should I return it? Or should I build on?!

    Just out of curiosity. I’m looking into an open box motherboard from Newegg. Would you recommend shying away from open box deals, even if the board is uber cheap?!

    UPDATE! I did not get mugged and the cpis safe in my office!! Couldn't be more pumped!! Now for the rest of the build...hahaha

    Alright guys I’ve found a steal of a deal on Craigslist! A couple is trying to sell an unopened 6850k for 200 bucks! They say it’s a product of identity theft that resulted in the thief sending said product to their address mistakenly. Said hey be tried to have Walmart take it back but they never replied. Seems a bit off, but I’m checking it out tomorrow and was wondering if there are things I should be weary of. Anyway to tell if it’s damaged, fried, etc.

    Yeah I was definitely skeptical about this policy, sounded a bit negligent/cash grabby. Thanks for all the advice guys! I'll probably hold off for a new deal...which I missed a couple weeks ago!

    BUT, their return policy is vague
