Brand new and factory sealed.
I recently upgraded several systems using this same motherboard, but decided not to upgrade the last one, so I have one extra.
I included an AI-generated comparison image between the WiFi and WiFi6E models. The regular WiFi model appears to have better specs in several areas. AI can make mistakes, so please verify any important specs yourself.
Boot heads-up:A fresh Windows install is preferable, recommended by the manufacturer tech support. If you are reusing an older Windows system drive that is MBR like I did, I recommend converting it to GPT before installing this motherboard. This board defaults to UEFI. I did this on all the systems I upgraded and Windows booted normally, and running perfectly fine.
If converting an existing Windows system drive, I also suggest researching Microsoft's MBR2GPT method using Windows PE/Recovery rather than converting from inside the full Windows OS with `/allowFullOS`. I used the outside-Windows method on all systems and prefer the resulting partition layout.
If you try booting an old MBR Windows drive first with this mobo, you may run into boot issues. This is just a legacy MBR/CSM boot heads-up, not a motherboard defect.
Please verify compatibility with your CPU, RAM, case, and other components before purchasing.
