Will Epox RMA my 8RDA+ if I have removed the northbridge heatsink to put ASII on? Or maybe I shouldnt mention it and just send it in? Thats all I've done to it.

noob question what does RMA stand for?
Return Merchandise Authorization. Basically a number that the company gives you that lets them know that you have the OK to send back damaged goods for repair\replacement.

Abit, MSI, and now Epox? I can't believe how many of these companies are using cheap caps.

Are Epox boards made in Taiwan or China?

As far as I know, it isn't limited to any certain manufacturer, unless they didn't buy caps from the offending company.

It's not Epox's fault, and they're RMAing it, so.. I hold no grudges. I've always been an EPoX fan, ever since my K6 days. I'm sure that will continue.
