X399 Taichi: CPU protective cover missing?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

Don't TR4 / X399 motherboards - such as the Taichi - come with a greyish protective cover over the LGA (CPU pins), similar to what is shown in this image?

I just received an X399 Taichi from NewEgg, and it has a Foxconn TR4 socket without the greyish protective cover.  The board otherwise seems to be brand new.

Thanks
