Flipkart deals

Yes, mine was sealed and no trace of any usage or dust anywhere. However, I would still consider myself lucky because the last time, I had to reject a used board (noted in this thread a few pages back).

Probably these boards are long back return items that on the shelfs which the scammer send back way back when flipkart accepts returns. And its a lottery buying these days.

Have you guys check whether its used and do have happen to have the seal. Last time my asrock z790 itx order had no seal and usage mark, importantly had rust on the backplane.

It is not used.. All accessories, IO shield etc. are sealed.. But the box itself does not have any seal.. It is my 3rd ASRock Motherboard in last 1 year and none of them had seals. I mean, seal wasn't removed.. It just wasn't there.

Probably the only reason FK is selling it for cheap is that it is old. Mine was imported in March 2022.

In that case asrock will consider 3 years warranty starting from March 2022 so valid till March 2025 which means 10 months warranty Z690 itx mobo for around 12500 which is not a very good deal but not a bad one either assuming new condition.

The only reason im looking for is itx and dual lan port. Yeah, less warranty sucks.

Going off-topic from FK deals, but these are old 2022 stock being cleared off. You can consider all these FK clearance items akin to buying old stuff from TE mktplace with little or no warranty, the difference being TE appears to be more trustworthy than FK.

Sorry but it absolutely is a good deal, manufacturing date aside. The only alternative would have been the Asrock B660M-ITX which has too many compromises.

I am not sure if you meant this after reading my entire post as it looks a bit out of context. What I said was "a z690 itx mobo with 10 months warranty for 12.5k is not a very good deal but not a bad one either". Unless having a mitx only cabinet the asrock B550M Steel legend available for similar price offers better value after adding a 2k m.2 wifi card along with flexibility of using many more cabinets & psu models not to mention full 3 years warranty as well as amd platform which always has more options new or used even years down the lane. Of course if someone is specifically looking to build a less than 20L cabinet pc with only itx mobo & sff psu then it is the only option worth considering at this price at least.

To my lovely, here’s my asrock z690 itx mb. Rejected(open box delivery). If you are not at the time during delivery or your family member receiving the package, do caution. Earlier had similar experience with z790 mb being used/repacked from flipkart.

Waiting for my Asus Prime H610M - E as its out for delivery, looks like i would need to open and inspect the package to ensure, what they send is new and in a good shape. Keeping my fingers crossed.
The 12400F i got from Flipkart was brand new sealed pack.

Affordable itx in India is a rare case.

Yes but only reason one should buy a itx mobo is if planning on building a sub-20L pc in an itx only cabinet else there is no point of getting itx mobo.

Get Asrock B550M Steel Legend for 11.5k from vedant, the best budget B550M mobo currently available. Often goes out of stock there & likely will be out of production by the end of this year. Add a 2k m.2 wifi ax card like ax210 & you have a mobo with good enough VRMs to run 5800x along with 7.1 channel ALC1200 audio 2.5gbps ethernet ax wifi BT connectivity 2 ARGB headers 4 usb 5gbps port & 1 usb 10gbps port & 1 type-c 10gbps port on back panel. Only thing missing is front usb type-c header but for that it also has a workaround in the form of two usb 3.0 front headers out of which one can be converted to a front panel type-c header using an adapter typically found on aliexpress/foreign sites for around $10.

Congrats to the folks that got 5800x for 12k. Flipkart does these product clearance from time to time, a bunch of us managed to get 3080ti for 45k last year.

Flipkart does give refunds (partial) and/or try to get the product serviced under warranty if the local distributor/service center does not honour the full warranty period from the date of purchase because of the unit being old stock. BUT YMMV and you might have to get on multiple call with Flipkart to get it sorted.

I would also encourage everyone to only post deals on this deal thread and limit other discussion. There is a Flipkart feedback thread for other platform specific feedback - https://techenclave.com/threads/flipkart-feedback-thread.121483/page-13
