I am thinking about ordering this openbox it is $30 less, does anyone have experience with newegg and their openbox policy? should I expect a defect or expect the item to function properly?

Need advice asap.

Thanks.

I myself would never order an open box product, even though newegg is amazing at costumer service and delivery, but it there is always a possibility of the product being damaged or malfunctioning if its open box.

For 30 bucks, id rather spend them to receive a product which wont be damaged or anything.

Thats a good deal, I've ordered open box items from Newegg before and I haven't had a problem, although the risk of getting a malfunctioning motherboard is more common with an open box version. Also, you most likely won't get any cables, documentation, or accessories such as a crossfire bridge.

If you can hook up the motherboard yourself, can get the drivers, then go for it.
