So, I just got my brand new Rampage IV Formula. I was just taking a lot at the board, when this caught my eye near the right memory slot. It looks like a scratch on the lane or something.
Can anyone make out what it is http://i.imgur.com/TQNYmK5.jpg

Is it now dead.. what are the chances?

I know for a fact I never caused this, before anyone starts. Unfortunately I can't test it until tomorrow, when my chip arrives (4930K)

I'd love to name and shame the vendor but it's probably against the forum rules :(

Forgot to update the thread. I gently rubbed it off with alcohol and it came off. Now it looks fine :)

Whatever it was, very weird that it came like that brand new.

You sure that's "new"? That hole has marks that look like the board was screwed down there.
