I'm located in Canada and I've been trying to inquire about an RMA for my motherboard and CPU as both have died. I cannot seem to get a hold of them and I'm getting frustrated.

About halfway through July I began troubleshooting a build that would no longer post and managed to figure out that the motherboard had died and took the CPU with it. Having been able to swap out hardware, test various combos of components and other troubleshooting methods, it became clear both items had stopped working.

July 26:

- Filled out the RMA inquiry form with all the details. Hitting the Submit button did not work. It goes to a blank page and nothing happens. I re-tried several times but no luck.

- I found their webmaster inbox and notified them about the page issue.

July 27:

- I got a response and was asked to describe my questions about the RMA, which I did, and they would forward the info their RMA department.

- I haven't received anything since.

July 26 onwards:

- I have sent an email to rma@asrockamerica.com and user@asrockamerica.com, inquiring about how to start an RMA.

- Haven't heard back.

I have also visited the store from which I bought the motherboard to ask what I can do. On ASRock's support page it suggests that customers should contact the vendor first. Memory Express in this case, had never heard of this or have ever done an RMA via their store, according to staff.

I'm at a loss. I've done RMA's with different brands over many years in the past but never has it been this difficult to get a response.

I've been trying to submit an RMA form through ASRock's official support page. After filling out all the fields and hitting Submit, it goes to a blank page with foreign text, translating to: "The world is full of beautiful places." and then nothing happens.

Is ASRock actively making it impossible for customers to do this?

I have a dead B850I Lightning WiFi on my hands and I'm trying to send it in.

Edit: Canada

For several minutes I've been trying to submit an RMA form.

The first time I hit Submit (after filling every box with info) it went to a blank page with a bunch of gibberish at the top of the page. No email was sent. The following few attempts resulted in nothing. After clicking Submit, nothing happens.

Question about my Gigabyte B850I Aorus Pro. If anyone has experience with this exact board in an SFF build, that'd be amazing.

I'm thinking of potentially switching over to a console style case and I've been researching the most recommended low-profile coolers in cases such as the Ridge, the new S5M and others alike (9800X3D) so I've got a good idea of available options.

I understand certain coolers conflict with the motherboards VRM shrouds. Some coolers will straight up not fit, others can be rotated to fit.

So I'm hoping someone knows more about this particular board and which coolers likely will or will not be problematic.

I was browsing my local Marketplace and came across some model cars and now I've fallen deep into the rabbit hole of miniatures again. Figured this might be the place to look.

I'm looking for relatively high-detailed Japanese vehicles, preferably on the smaller side (around 1/43, desk friendly). I just have no clue about the brands, retailers, where to look etc. This might be the start of a new hobby. Cost is not of huge concern.

Hope it's alright to ask here!

When I'm looking at the standard flatpack kits, what exactly are is included? I'm assuming for a taller stance I'd have to get the feet separately, but what about an AIO mount? Does the kit come with a bracket that allows for AIO installation?
