Don't know if I should sell it or build a second system on it!

Argh! So they just stick the foils on it? The IO, m.2 etc areas have brand-new looking foils stuck on them.Likely refurbished.
The original owner may never have taken them off. I buy used stuff all the time with the plastic still on them.Argh! So they just stick the foils on it? The IO, m.2 etc areas have brand-new looking foils stuck on them.

Agree with kirby, sell it. Just mention in the auction it's a fresh RMA from asus that looks new.Hmm! I was thinking of picking a cheap 5900x (prices dropping all the time) and building a backup PC. So would you trust this mobo? or maybe just buy a 5600x and use it as an internet PC! Never again will I buy expensive mobo!!!!
Man, I feel like I dodged a bullet. I REALLY wanted that board but it was out of stock everywhere when I got my 5900X. I went with the MSI Tomahawk instead and so far it's been solid.Just an update, I had RMAed the Dark Hero due to the "Error 4d" and had transferred all the components to an MSI Tomahawk.
Now 1 month later I got a non-retail plain brown box in post back, it has a different serial number Dark Hero. It has all the plastic foils still stuck on the motherboard. Does that mean it is a brand-new Dark hero they sent me back?

Agree. I originally bought this board. Worked fine for about a week then refused to power up. I was able to return it to the and replaced it with the Tomahawk. That MB has been rock solid. After seeing the issues others have had with the Dark Hero I’ve lost faith with Asus quality control and will probably not consider them much in the future. I did like the Asus bios over the MSI’s but that’s about it.Man, I feel like I dodged a bullet. I REALLY wanted that board but it was out of stock everywhere when I got my 5900X.

I agree with the others, SELL IT.
