Question MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X box has an unusual seal

[vikaskumar2299]

I ordered this GPU from an Indian ecommerce website. Everything looks fine and it's working fine so far. Even anti static bag seal was fine as expected. There was no sign that anything inside the box is tampered.

However, the box had a plastic seal (please see 3 photos about the box seal and inside box content in the link given in the end of this post) which was already mostly removed from one side (maybe because of lot of dust which was there on the box).

Interestingly, I watched tons of unboxing videos on YouTube about same GPU and none of them had any such seal on the box.

Another important thing: GPUz showing graphics card Code Name: GA106 (LHR). Does it mean it's LHR card? It wasn't even mentioned on the box.

So what do you think? Do you think the seller pasted it manually? Would you consider this GPU as tampered? I am worrying about it.

As long as the anti-static bag seal was intact and not like the others, I would be ok with it. The card itself could have been sold to you as open-box and the seal on the outer box was opened by someone else.

HERE is more info on the LHR version of this card.

Thank you! Meanwhile, while I was overthinking, I found another odd thing which has added to my worries. This small text document is also missing (photo attached below). Most of online unboxing videos show 4 documents. I received only 3. I found at least one unboxing video on YT where they also received same content as mine, missing the 4th one.

What would you advise?

If the company you purchased it from you could always return it for not as advertised. If the site is anything like Wish or AliExpress, then there probably isn't going to be anything you can do as most of those have sketchy return policies.

Box might have been opened to verify contents.

Non LHR models were sold initially. After certain date LHR models were sold.
They're the same card. Only different vBIOS.

So what do you think? Do you think the seller pasted it manually? Would you consider this GPU as tampered? I am worrying about it.

If it's working fine, I wouldn't worry.
Everything looks legit.
