Missing chipset fan cover

This review does not cover board functionality. I still haven't built my system - still waiting for my case; However, I noticed that it had been tampered with before I opened it. There was no seal preventing the box from being opened. Missing manual, a few scratches on the motherboard, missing protective plastic film, missing chipset fan cover, which is not aesthetically pleasing. If you look at my photo and compare it to the photo in the product description you will understand what I mean. I'll check again once I get my system back together, but until then I'll give it three stars. Update: After I sent my motherboard back and got a new one, the new board was also missing the chipset fan shroud. Received a $42 refund from Revain for a missing fan cover. I contacted the manufacturer and after several hours of phone and email conversations, I was finally able to get them to send me the missing chipset fan cover under the manufacturer's warranty (the cover came with screws and everything fitted perfectly). The motherboard works great with my Ryzen 3900x. I added a star to my rating but left the 5th star due to hassle.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
