Some things to note: I've used the ram by itself for more than a year? and it's ran fine. CPU & Motherboard were purchased a few months ago. Trying to sell all 3 items as I ended up getting an AM5 platform upgrade for the build I was using these parts for instead. The CPU has thermal paste on the sides which got on the clamshell holder. (I think) All of the motherboard accessories are included just may not be organized well. The secondary M.2 screw for the bottom m.2 is pre installed, see picture 3. The ram sticker peel is stuck to the box.
