Now I have to go through the Asus RMA process.....I can't F$!@$ing wait to see what that is like.

If your replacement with New Egg was for replacement they probably turned the RMA into repair after they issued the initial RMA. They did this to me with a P5Q deluxe. The just changed the serial number. I could see where the sub zero prep was exactly as I sent it back. I also went through this with my R2E and to be sure I did not get the same one back Imarked the back of the MOBO and sure enough they returned the bad board to me as a replacement.
After speaking with a manager the refunded my money in full for both boards and I purchased new ones.

I never even prepped that board. It was truely DOA. They may very well have sent me the same board back with a new serial number as it behaved exactly as the first one.....I sent an interesting email to them. As much money as I spend there they better reconsider what they are doing. I told them I wanted a refund for the second one and that I would buy a different board. Thanks for the info.
