im sort of dealing with that atm with my new asus mobo.

just sort of curious i was looking online and seen all kinds of RMA denials over bent pin excuses. heck the mobo i got has a review with a bent pen excuse just 2 days ago. is this a pretty common thing with this company?

I have been buying from the Egg for years. Built many PCs with their parts. Never had an issue with an RMA. But I never had a bent pin issue, either. They may be suspicious if you are a new buyer, tho. Bent pins on boards or CPUs are rare and are usually the result of careless folks not knowing what they are doing. I'm not saying that was your case, tho. Just mean that it is something they may be suspicious of.
 


I agree 100%. Not to mention that many people can bend the pins and not know it, they are very fragile. They really should add a large warning label onto the box just for that.
