Thread: Asus Mobo users -- New mobo Box, Comes open ?

I just purchased Retail New Asus P5Q deluxe and to my surprise the box was open!

1] The outer box can be opened by anyone, as there was no tape OR tamper-proof seal (Like the one that come with Intel mobo)

2] The mobo was in the static bag and that wasn't factory sealed as well...

I have already spoked with retailer and have said that every asus mobo come this way only...

So is this really the way asus pack its mobo?

I have never gotten a mother board that was "factory" sealed. But I have never gotten a mother board that did not have "security" tape holding the bag shut. Somebody must be pulling your leg anybody else have his problem? Maybe it's a cost cutting step? Did it look like it was installed at all.

The carton or box has not been "sealed" in on most motherboards I have ever got, but the board its self has always been sealed into an anti-static bag with a piece of security tape. I have bought boards from MSI, Biostar, DFI, ECS, Gigabyte, Abit, Intel, Foxconn, EVGA, and ASUS. I do not recall ever getting one that the bag was not sealed.

However, it could just be somebody missed it during packaging.If it works, it works. I wouldn't worry about it. It it doesn't, return it. I have had several boards not work and had to be returned even though they were sealed.

So I don't think it is a big deal, and even if it was a returned or open box, it would not be hard to put into a new bag and retape the bag, so that really doesn't tell you anything.
