If anyone can help: I rmaed my defective motherboard to Newegg, Newegg has received it. But jsut today i was checking my rma status and i found some additional instructions in my email. Apparently i had to print an identification label(never saw that notice) So do i have to expect some major delay??? In most cases if you did not indicate RMA # on your package, the retailer will refuse delivery of the package.
PSU replaced already, cpu is intel quad Q8400, and ram is 4 gb kingston. I know they could be defective, but it's more likely to be the motherboard since a lot of people complained about it.

can you guys recommend a mobo for an intel core quad 8400 socket 775 LGA? this wouldn't work I'm guessing? BIOSTAR H61MGC LGA 1155 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138332)

You need a socket 775 motherboard. Check the CPU compatibility list on the manufacturer website and also what type of memory (DDR2 or DDR3) it uses.

DDR2

If you want LGA775, you basically need to buy off BST forums... I highly doubt any retailer even carries P45 and P35 boards anymore.

cpu-z says my dram frequency is 400, does that matter?

The motherboard will run the RAM at whatever speed necessary.
400 MHz at double data rate is 800 MHz effective btw—that's the most normal speed.

help! Newegg refused my rma, saying there were several bent pins on the cpu socket(there was one, which i fixed.) and that 2 pins were missing, which was not true.
It for some reason says Newegg approved my rma, but the rma facility says they wont.
|
If there is physical damage, no rma..
|
there was none. I think the Newegg people just made it like that so they wouldnt have to replace it.
|
Bent pin? :/
that's enough for them
|
seriously? Any recommendations on a seller that will honor this crap?

Nobody does RMA on physical damage. Pro-tip. Take pictures prior to packaging, with the SN clearly visible, and then insure it when shipping. Then, if they try to deny RMA for physical damage, get it out of the shipper instead.

what manufacturer? was it sent from newegg to an external RMA center? Because some ones are actually pretty horrid, especially that one from Asus in Jeffersonville...
|
Why would Newegg send it to an external RMA center? Lol does that even make sense to you?
iirc he has an Asrock LGA2011.
|
Asrock customer supports really good. they really care about their end-user! I have to wait for Newegg to ship it back, then send it to ASRock for $50 for them to Rma.
Also Jingle, what do you mean by "get it out of the shipper"?
