About this item
If you're still running an X299 build, you probably know the ASUS ROG Strix X299-E Gaming motherboard. This open-box board uses the LGA2066 socket and lists DDR4 memory, M.2 storage, USB 3.1 and built-in 802.11ac WiFi. It's priced at $179.95.
What should I inspect on an open-box LGA2066 motherboard?
Check the socket pins first. Bent pins are the most common deal-breaker on an LGA board, so ask for a close-up photo if the listing photos aren't clear.
- Make sure the CPU socket cover is in place.
- Ask whether the I/O shield, WiFi antenna and M.2 screws are included.
- Your processor must be LGA2066. Chips for other sockets won't fit.
- Ask whether the board was tested and which BIOS version it's on.
A good fit for upgrading a workstation or repairing an existing X299 build.
