Warped motherboard!

Featured Replies

Probably not an issue but easy to send back on Amazon.

What do you think people? Send back or ignore it.

I suppose one issue is if it posts but then fails further down the line.

Define 'warped'..?

I would probably send it back. With my usual luck it would fail catastrophically one week out of warranty taking every component with it (and maybe even burning the house down) in the process.

There is a permitted degree of warping allowed on motherboards re quality control. Can't remember exactly but I recall its something like 5mm from centre to edge. I'm guessing this might be slightly less than that. maybe 4mm. 

Along the width of the board you can see the bend. It was enough that when I mounted it in the case the right hand side of the board was raised up by a few millimetres from the standoffs. Screwed down easily though.

I'm in two minds to be honest.

I can certainly understand that. Sucks to RMA stuff you want to use right away...
