Ohhh that sucks big time, I also live in New Brunswick :). I only have the crosshair III Formula but it came nice and tight. But I was going to upgrade to the crosshair V board down the road. By the sounds of it, its not a good plan..I have noticed many forum threads starting with help and a problem with the CVF. But lets hope they work on the packaging, cause nothing worse then ordering a part and waiting in anticipation for it to arrive and then have it in peices..then to go through the bother of returning it and waiting for the next one..even if it doesn't cost you anything, it still sucks the wait time at least..
Hope it was just a dud and everything works out for you, best of luck.

California, I guess it come from NewEgg , if so call them on the phone and be polite, they will give you a free UPS label to return it, probably to their Canadian wearhouse. Be nice on the phone, usually you have to pay to ship it back, but if you talk with them nicely they will wave it, I know I don't it all the time.

yeah its from newegg, i didn't want to say it as its not neweggs fault i guess. But Asus really needs to fix this problem, its really not fun, i was really planning on building this PC tonight. I'm not waiting for an RMA i asked for a refund because i don't want to wait, but now i'm not sure witch one to buy anymore it mite happen again !! i'm going to do express shipping this time the board mite not move as much on a plane lol !!

How about buying it from NCIX.com and pricematching whoever is the cheapest?

Thats what i do... save you on the shipping time as well.

++ one and all........... I had one good laugh though in this......... a box... that the V is factory shipped in...
from ??? overseas........ to 'newegg'....people, boat, truck, warehouse, people, shipping...then opened...and
a chip fell out....................but................. ASUS better get a handle on this....hahahahahha
that was good...........
and Staytus....................ur rog'n the 3...long time now..eh? .... hahaha... do u remember the reviews on those..
the 'competition' was out in force bashing them...............ROGs good though huh?
Im tell'n you all...once and for all and final.......this board is awesome...most of the 'glitches' you think
that leave the impression of wide spread problems..........ahhahahahaha....no.....driver/user error...or lack of patience...
do we have any idea how many of these boards were actually sold.........hahahhahaa
but a hand ful of whiners...leaves an impression...and then it is retold.......UpGrade...u will be kissing urself....

to the OP.............stuff happens...sorry it was you... but in the end...like every last issue I have ever seen here..
will be resolved....and u will be ROG'n ur brains out...........we will be right here..if u have any questions..or waiting
for NEW ideas...that u might have.................

I have one final thing to say about the V if you have even a shred of doubt left.............WORLD RECORD. you dont
do that with faulty equipment.....do you MSI---evga?????

M'd1++...........exactly right as always.c.

I don't really care how many were sold....all i know is the one they sold me was junk !!

that sucks...now what?

I am looking forward to seeing this
resolved quickly for you.

..How is the RMA going?
I agree, time is painful.. Like most, I started
here because of the exact reason. I stay
because of the outcome.
I ripped out some hair.
That hurts.
It was resolved and then some.
I can point to many with the same story.
"all i can say is..be nice..they really want to fix it."
....All the Best.c.

odered the sabertooth instead ! i think the CH5 was a bit overkill for my skill level anyways, hopefully everything will go ok !!
