I recied this mobo in the mail today. I open it up and there is no tape or anything sealing the white box. Should i return it or is it safe?

White box? It should come in the original Gigabyte box with all the extra stuff and be taped up in a static bag. Sounds to me like a return or refurbished board. Send it back and say that it was not new and yiu want a new board.

White box? Original box? Is this a refurb or used? Mine came in a Gigabyte box which was sealed. I've had mine a little ove a year and it may be time to get a replacement due to the onboard mic going out and BSOD I randomly get. Good luck :)

I guess that it shouldn't be a problem. You should get a box where you can return it for free just to try.

Yeah I had same issue if you open the back you'll see board is burned out. Mine just clicked and wouldn't get cold. Swapped out board working just fine

Defective motherboard, as I had a similar issue with an Asus MB. If it is still under warranty, good luck with dealing with their support. I would strongly suggest going with another manufacturer if you decide to replace it, ASUS really doesn't stand behind their products.

Make sure the PC is not defective and that all cables are plugged into the board. Disconnect all non essentials from the mobo....only leave RAM. CAN and CO Fan. Power on to see if it POST. Also make sure PSU us set to correct voltage of 110 and not 220

Send the product into Asus and they will repair it. I sent mine in, and they also found a few dead pixels and a broken card reader, so they repaired everything without asking. When returned it worked perfect!

Here is exactly what I suggest.Call Corsair yourself and talk with Tech Support.That is what I did when mine arrived.They are pretty nice and I would think they will know what you can and cannot do in regards to hooking it up.If I knew I would tell you but I do-not want to guess.If you go back to my lengthy Post on reviews you will see that I had the Geek Squad come and hook mine up.It had no sound and we could not figure out why.The Geek Squad guy did finally figure it out.Terry

Got mine brand new as well, the box by itself is not sealed but the stamp with motherboard film protector should be sealed with a stickers

It's been a while (June) but I don't remember it being in a plain white box. I wouldn't like that either!! I'm pretty sure mine was regular packaging. Sounds like you may have gotten a dud... :(

Seems a little low in my opinion but computer part prices flux alot so its hard to tell. I would contact the seller with concerns. Worse case scenario you file a complaint. However this is a offordanle motherboard I picked up mine refurbished for $108. Hope this helps, I myself would take the risk.

Sounds like it is bad...I have used mine on 2 MSI boards and 3 asus boards and have had readouts on all to where I could fix the problem.

Thanks, i wound up pulling the cover over the screws. Damaging it. Screws appeared 2 b sodered down. Wound up getting a Samsung s5. I will work on the nexus n my spare time. I hope the motherboard is not going bad.

I used this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 I didn't actually have much luck with this board (I'm assuming that's because it was open box though.) Are you manually clocking or RAM or just using the X.M.P.? My board was fine using the X.M.P. settings.

I have not had any problems, so maybe you received a defective board. I would contact the seller or amazon and see if they will replace it for you.

The only plastic on it is the clear plastic that holds it to your motherboard. I'd say get it as tight as you can and if you twist it off there is probably a defect in it and it would have failed eventually.

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

You call get and RMA and send it to buffalo. I have 4 and 2 failed. Sent one in and 1 they lost it. the other one the "case was opnened" so warranty is void. Hope you have better luck. Waiting for #3 and #4 to fail. I took the drive out of #2 and it works fine.
