Is the box and/or anti static bag of a new motherboard always sealed?

[lanzia]

Hello all,

Weird question but I was wondering if the package of a new motherboard should be sealed with a sticker or something.
Mine came with a box that was sealed and the anti static plastic was also not sealed.

Im having some issues and trying to pinpoint the problem. It could be related to the motherboard and wonder if I got a board that was send back already.

Thanks in advance.

No i don't believe so? I know many other components like an graphics card would be, but i dont think a motherboard has a seal.

My Gigabyte wasn't sealed, nor was the Asus Z87 Sabertooth that I had previously.
