Finished up DIcing first chip with no positive results decided to flip chips and swap out hte backplates to do it right. Damaged the motherboard removing the backplate.

Contacted ASUS. $100-120 to fix it since it is my fault. (Which I told them) Waiting for the RMA email now.

What board was it and can we see the damage? Was it really necessary to tell them?

Crosshair III. Should ASUS (and thereby customers of ASUS) pay for something stupid I did?

Well let me put this that way! I work for a BIG company which serves the server world. Believe me there is millions of $ going in and out on RMAs every day since some of the boards are 100K or more. We are making tons of cash since most of the stuff is manufactured in Asia for a dime. You should not feel too bad about getting Asus for a dollar or two. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way with the suggestion.

No, did not offend me. The CSrep told me to send the board in as an RMA too, if they "spot the physical damage, they will photograph it and send you pictures and ask for credit card information"

There is a tiny nick in the board.. so that is probably the cause. with backplate on you cant see it though.

V2-V3 is on a distinguished road
Default ATi 4850 1GB
Today I was able to clock the i5-670 to 6.228GHz and complete a 3DMark 2003 bench with the ATI 4850 1GB @ 811mhz core, 1160mhz ram

23rd place 4850 3DM03: 59443 3DMarks

Card was on stock air, I plan on moving to LN2 and Performing a Vmod of the card in hops of reaching 70K+ 3DMarks.

also the i5-670 CPU remained rather stable at 6.4GHz, only being held back by a bad os install of Vista Starter 32bit......
