Both the motherboard and CPU were removed from a working system during an upgrade. The CPU is currently installed in the socket and will be shipped installed, which also avoids unnecessary handling of the LGA socket/pins.
Please note the following cosmetic/mechanical issue: the small retention latch on the motherboard’s daughterboard connector is broken. The board was used successfully in this condition and the system was fully operational, but I am disclosing the damaged latch clearly so there are no surprises. Please review the photos carefully for its condition.
Aside from that latch, the motherboard and CPU performed normally during my ownership.
Included:
MSI Z890I Mini-ITX motherboard
Intel Core Ultra 5 245K processor, installed
Any accessories shown in the photos
This is being sold as a motherboard/CPU bundle rather than separating the processor from the board.
Please make sure you are comfortable with the disclosed broken daughterboard retention latch before purchasing.
Ships carefully packed and protected.
