Very similar to my case for DFI X58 UT.
I removed the VRM heatsink and screwed it too tight causing the board to bend. The mobo blown into fire due to bad contact between PWM and heatsink. Thus failed to RMA in the end they offered me half price for a new replacement board.

TS, curious how and why is ur mobo bent? Using huge ass Noctua cooler?

Actually my old experience with Asus as well.
My dead P6T they claimed got scratches on the board & requested me to pay RM120 to proceed for RMA. i'm not sure how serious is the scratches just that ive waited forever for their photos, in the end paid them coz i was very poor and wanted that board urgently huhuhu..
