    best thing really is phone wherever u bought it from in the morn and explain, depends where u bought it from cos diff places have diff methods of RMA'ing.

    the problem with returning to the retailer is that the company is small and all the technicians who work there know me and knew i was taking a zalman fan 3 days ago to o/c the CPU.

    But can i directly return the mobo to the manufacturer though?

    Well do they know that u have used the board, actually had it up and going? Cos u said the pins seemed dodgy when u got it. So tell em u thought that was normal and u tried installing whatever last night and it wudnt boot at all. There was obviously a problem with it in the first place cos the pins shud not have been bent at all.

    ok mate thanks for your help. I will try and persuade them to accept the board back. But the only problem is that they might tell me to wait a long time as they will not only take a few days to test the board, but they will then send the board back to the manufacturer and expect me to wait till they get another one.

    I'm not saying you did it, but if it looks like you did the shop won't RMA it, and I think there's a good chance that the shop might think that.

    Yeah u will have to wait a few days unfortunately, but it shud be worth it. Just plead ignorance. Like dragon said they might say u did it, but deny it and say it was like it when u got it, they cant prove otherwise

    @ redddraggon - I agree mate, but its worth a try. If worse comes to worse, they'll simply refuse to give me a new one and I'll then try sending it back to the manufacturer.

    Oh btw, can someone please help me choose a mobo incase i can't return this? The link is

    www.cclonline.com

    The max price i'm willing to pay upto is £70. The mobo must have:-

    good o/c features
    socket 775
    sata and ide options
    pci express
