Shipping Issue

I just got my motherboard and I opened the box and the cpu pins did not have the cover and the cover was lose in the bag with the mobo. Should I be worried? I got the board as a tested refurbished seller with 12k reviews and looked good.

Are any of the pins bent?
If yes, problem.

If no, then no problem.

If none of the pins are bent then it should be perfectly fine.

All the pins are fine. The mobo was tested before shipping and I was sent pictures as well.

The only problem I can see is if the mobo doesn't work. I believe in order to RMA it that you will need that cover. Get ahold of the retailer. File the complaint, with pictures, that way its documented.

It's always a good day if you woke up breathing.
