Hi,
I just bought 4 days ago my new system parts on newegg. Everything was good but zalman performa cooler, fan wouldn't spin. RMA it and got a Hyper 212 plus. When I was switching the back plates on motherboard(Gigabyte 890FX-UD5) I broke accidently 2 small inductors/resistors don't know what they really are. Check picture pls. I did it because zalman cooler had a small rubber back plate witch you stick to the motherboard using white sticky foam(best I can explain), so trying to remove that sticky foam with a credit card I notice I broke 2 small things.
Everything seams to work fine.I even overclocked the cpu from 2.8 to 4ghz but it is not stable under prime, giving bsods. I am scared. What should I do?

i bealive both are capacitors. yes i know your thinking big round things but they make small ones. the blacktop might also be a resistor. impossible to tell given we dont know their value. bridging might be a bad idea. You might be able to do it no problems. honeslty? im not sure what you should do. RMA?

RMA it, but don't tell them you broke anything off. Just tell them the board is unstable and fails under Prime95 and gives BSODs.

Already talcked to them, lady was nice, I don't think she understood that I broke the capacitors...I just told straight, didn't lie(I am trying to be honest all the time), she accepted to replace it...nice job newegg. It was my fault I am happy they can understand.
Now just wait until it gets to them and I get a new one. Thanks.

Yeah, newegg is really good about that stuff, that is why I primarily buy from them.
