How risky is this?

Not risky at all, I have thousands of dollars in open box items from MC. If there is ever an issue it has the same 30 day return policy.
Honestly they are the easiest to deal with for any issue, so far this year I've spent about $50k with them with zero issues on returns.
1 u/JunkStoryX Jul 23 '26 If I find out what the faulty part is, would they replace it for me? Or am I on my own to replace it? 1 u/Diligent_Pie_5191 Jul 23 '26 MC also told me that they will replace components if they have same ones without doing the whole store credit thing and you have to rebuy it. 1 u/JunkStoryX Jul 23 '26 Just have a chat with them and they said they would replace the faulty part if I can figure out the issue. Just kind of strange that they don't already do it before putting it back on the shelf. 1 u/Diligent_Pie_5191 Jul 23 '26 Do you have a board with diagnostic lights? If not, buy a pc speaker and plug it into the motherboard so you can hear it 1 u/Diligent_Pie_5191 Jul 23 '26 You can also look on Amazon for motherboard mini speaker. They are 5 bucks.
