Hi everyone!
Long time reader, first time poster and unfortunately my first post isnt good news.
I've had a Rampage V Extreme for as long as I can remember and over the past couple of days, I decided to throw my i7-6800k onto the board and do some testing/overclocking of some Corsair CMW16GX4M2C3200OC Ram (2 sets of 2x8) trying to get quad channel working as it wasnt working on my X909 Strix either (thats still an issue too).
So I put the processor in the slot, put my H100i V2 cooler on and set everything up.
Time comes to start the system and it was only detecting 3 of the 4 DIMMs.
Tried updating the BIOS and then it detected 2 of the 4 DIMMS.
It got to the point last night that I was down to only 1 DIMM being detected, no matter which stick of ram I put in the system.
So.....
After work tonight I decided to pull the board out of my case and take the processor off to discover I had bent a couple of pins somehow.
I grabbed a magnifying glass and had a look, the pins were somehow bent back the opposite way to how they should be orientated.
With a toothpick, I gently bent the first one back, no problems,
But then the second one didnt go so well and as I was moving the pin back into its correct orientation, it broke off 😞 :mad:
I'm pretty pissed off with myself to say the least.

So my question to ASUS is - Do you repair boards? This thing was super expensve and I'd really like to have this one in my system.
Happy to take some photo's if required/pay for shipping etc.
This would receive better attention in the service related inqueries. Cooked capacitors, VRMs, resistors and diodes would be easy enough. The socket is another story. * 2011 pins in less than 2 square inches is all but impossible. The time it would take wouldn’t be cost effective and would most likely cost more than replacing the board. The sockets are placed by robots and run through a wave soldering machine. New and refurbs can be found for $200-$300 while gougers are over $500. There’s one on fleabay for $200 + $55 shipping seller has 100% positive feedback, like 180. *No retail box but the board alone is worth that.

Well, it's an 1150 being replaced in THIS VIDEO, but have a look at this one, and then resolve yourself to just buying a new one.
nice, first time I’ve ever seen one of these
