Question I think my $500 asus crosshair viii formula is damaged and I haven't even used it yet.

So I have been building my new 3900x system and I got a asus crosshair viii formula. I have always used asus for over 13 years. I still have a crosshair formula for my bulldozer cpu. When I was looking at the board tonight just thinking how cool it is that asus has been making good products for so long and than I see it. Looks like all the chokes are broke. The leads coming out the sides all have cracks in them. If this is really what do I do return it t

o newegg or warranty it out. ekwb order didn't show up now this. Here is a couple pics. What do u guys and gals think?

That does look concerning. May want to hang on for second opinion or confirmation.

Return to seller for exchange or refund. RMA only makes sense after the seller is no longer deemed responsible for replacements (country dependent, of course).
