Help with Mobo!!!!

[jujar14]

ok so went to a computer fair and got all my parts. I got home and my ram slot clip was broken. the next week i went back to the fair and spoke with the guy who sold it to me and he would not take a return. at all not even a replacement board.

I want to talk to asus but i cant make use of their email system and i can't call them either as when i go to motherboards it just says to go to the web site. do you even think asus will replace my board? I hope they will because i have everything but a non working motherboard.
my motherboard is quite a good one too. if it was £45 then fine but its a maximus 7 ranger that cost me £130. i got it because next year i want to get an M.2 and a second gtx 770 and i want to overclock my i5 4690K to 5ghz with an evo 212.

any advice you guys can offer would be great!!!!

Have you tried the board? A broken RAM clip won't stop the board from working. You can even still use the RAM slot.

Also, you will NEVER get a 4690k close to 5ghz on a 212 EVO. You will need to get lucky with a good chip and have a custom water loop to get there. Even then you might not get a good enough chip to get to 5ghz. I would start with stable 4ghz for a beginner with a 212 EVO.

i have tried the bardbut it dont boot up withoyut a ram in the a1 slot and guess what one is broken. ive tried it it wont work.

what do you think io can get to with the 212? 4.2?

4.0ghz should be doable.

Just use the other two RAM slots. Not using a RAM slot has nothing to do with a board not booting.

i have read in countless places that theat ram slot must be occupied for the mobo to start. i will try and get back to you.
