I have bought a ASUS Maximus VIII Hero from Amazon and it was listed as new but It has few dents on the south bridge heatsink and few scratches on the north bridge heatsink. Is it possible for me to buy replacement heatsinks as these look very bad in their damaged state on the mother board :/.

Amazon has a no query returns policy, return it as damage get a new one in two days.
