This open box GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX is attractive as a low cost DDR5 Z790 board with Wi Fi 6E, and the price drew interest as a backup or future upgrade part. The board itself has been solid in at least one open box purchase, and the serial based warranty setup may still leave coverage in place. The main cautions are open box motherboard risk, possible bent pins or other hidden defects, and the hassle of troubleshooting or replacing a board later. DDR5 tuning can also take work, with XMP stability varying by kit and speed.

wonder what's missing. i'd be cool with just the board and backplate I think
Good for you. "rarely" means you still had issues though.
I'm not against buying used. But a used mobo is a big no no from me.
