Should I buy a refurbished motherboard?

[summer_3]

Has anyone ever had any experiences with newegg refurbished products? Would it be a good idea to purchase this motherboard? https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130955&cm_re=refurbished_z170-_-13-130-955-_-Product

My last video card was a MSI gt 440 refurbished, the fan failed after three years but I still have it and it still works having a CPU fan strapped to it.
from newegg.
I have purchased several refurbished systems from there for clients. the only issue I had was having to re-install windows on one of the systems, but the hardware was tip top.

I don't like refurbs when it comes to boards.

The board and the PSU RUN THE OTHER COMPONENTS best to go new.

its a risk, it comes with warranty right?

if the price is great, is a risk that might be worth taking

I would probably advise against it. Considering motherboards are potentially one of the cheapest components of a build and are also usually the second thing to fail (after HDD's), it's best to buy a brand new one.
