I have done a few builds but I am no means an expert or even truly experienced. I am curious if anyone else has ever had anything like this occur. Just ordered parts for my new rig this weekend and they all showed up today right as I was headed to work. The boxes all looked to be in satisfactory condition FedEx once again managed to get them here in one piece. However, when I got home tonight and started unpacking stuff I noticed that the clear plastic window on my AMD 64 3500+ looked like it had a bunch of green junk on it on the inside. I looked the box over really well and it was in good condition. The factory holographic seals were intact. I cut one open and carefully slid out the contents and a handful of green stryrofoam junk. It seems the envirofriendly paper foam had been crushed in one corner by the heatsink and fan. I carefully wiped and blew the debris from the heatsink and made sure that none had managed to lodge in the thermal compound. I checked the processor over and it has no bent pins and looks pristine. So do I go ahead and build and see if everything fires up or call/email ZipZoomFly and get an RMA. It may sound anal, but I don't want to start with something that somehow got rattled enough it broke its own packing material. I have ordered from ZZF before with no problems this is a first. Help me out guys has anyone ever experienced anything like this? BTW I was really surprised at the packing material even where it was in good shape it seemed flimsy. I am all about doing right by mother earth but I think I would have settled for them packing it in ziplocks and jello over this stuff.
Thanks in advance for any input.
