Wee question.

I got a "new" motherboard but I have 2 questions.
1. Should the box have been sealed? My gfx card had a tamper seal on it but the motherboard did not.
2. Should the cpu socket have had some sort of cover over it?

Reason I ask is my gigabyte mono came with neither of the above.

Thanks

I've been told it might have been used by build department and restocked. It's going back later today.
I was concerned that it wasn't sealed in any way Woidl have expected it wrapped in celophane (like my psu) or a sticky tab to hold it closed like my gfx had. This was open.

Will see how it goes but the guys on the phones have been really helpful so far.
