Z97-a bends a bit

[Daniel123dk]

I installed my processor into my new z97-a motherboard with the first thing i see when i secure the cpu, that it is bending my motherboard.

 

Is there something wrong with it?

[Daniel123dk]

I still have this problem.

A little bend is alright and to be expected. A pcb (printed circuit board) is pretty flexible. 

 

Are you sure the CPU is mounted correctly?

The cpu is mounted the way its supposed to be. 

 

I have Removed the cpu now, and I see that the motherboard is bent without having the cpu in it

Its been rma'd. One of the sides on the motherboard was bent almost 3 centimeters. That looks pretty sick!

So last week, i got an ASUS Z97-A of the mail.

The motherboard was really bent, i rma'd it. And bought a new.

 

Today i got another ASUS Z97-A from the mail, this time bent even more.

 

That makes me so frustrating, what should i do?

Does it work if so use it.

if not RMA it again and tell them to beef up there packing

[Enderman]

This has nothing to do with packing, the box was completely okay, when I got it. If a motherboard is bent like this, then it's from a faulty manufacturing.

 

Im guessing that this could be a bad batch of motherboards.

No it's Asus being cheap and not QAQC'ing its boards before they ship them

How could something like this even make it past QC?

lol ok thats pretty bent

maybe you can RMA and assk them to take a pic of the board before sending it to you

definitely seems like an issue with the batch of fiberglass used in the PCB

Hot damn. I can only imagine it getting bent like that from being baked in a crate or something.

I live in Denmark, which is around in the middle of warm and cold :-)

It could be a humidity or cold issue when shipping it to you also but the only thing you can do Is Re RMA the board even though it sucks
