you can heat the solder up and then let it reseat. that might do it. some boards like DFI's are known for doing that but some 680i's did it too.

RMA is your best option

You may try to put one or two drop of silicon glue (the type applied by the melting gun) over the coils.

I'll see if they can take it as an RMA. The Lifetime warranty option wasn't available when I purchased..and I registered after my purchase date.. There is something with the dates from when they offered the service and when I registered that they won't take an RMA. But I'll call again and see.

I'll try a re-solder, thanks Fit.
