Do MSI motherboards come with a factory seal on their boxes?
Asked by

I recently purchased an MSI MAG 870 Tomahawk WiFi Gaming Motherboard, but I noticed that the box didn't have any factory seal on the outside. I've seen a bit of tape on the internal plastic bag, but it's not fully sealed. I'm a bit concerned, as I want to ensure my motherboard is brand new and not a returned item. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation with MSI motherboards?

I bought the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk from Best Buy, and it also had no seal on the box. Initially, I was worried, but then I noticed that none of the other motherboards had seals either.

I picked up a few motherboards at MicroCenter, and none of them had any seals either! It seems like MSI doesn't follow the seal trend, allowing customers to check the contents before buying.

From my experience with the X870 Tomahawk, the box didn't really have any significant seal; it just had a simple piece of tape on the internal bag. So, it sounds like you're not alone! Many models might not come with a tamper-proof seal at all.

I just checked my MAG Z790 Tomahawk, and I can confirm there were no outer seals or tape at all. It's common for many MSI motherboards, so I wouldn't worry too much!

Honestly, I can't recall ever seeing a seal on the box of any motherboard I've bought. MSI apparently keeps it pretty simple.
