RMA problem involving warped pins on LGA1700 board
RMA problem involving warped pins on LGA1700 board
I've gathered some feedback from others about this situation. Many users mention similar issues with MSI Tomahawk B760 and Intel i7-14700F models. Some reported problems with BIOS updates, incorrect installation steps, and even physical damage to pins. Others shared that they received the motherboard and CPU separately, checked them in a test environment, and found faults during testing. To clarify the pin's purpose, some suggested looking at the motherboard manual or contacting MSI support directly. For proof of damage beyond photos, consider sending detailed technical specs, screenshots of error messages, and possibly a video of the installation process.
You have images that are helpful. I would forward the photos to MSI. I’d also request more pictures from them and check for discrepancies once you identify the bent pin. (I notice those two oddities) Edited April 1, 2025 by leclod
