Yes, this is both a 2020 model and refurbished. Depending on your needs, it's still a great buy. I needed a second rig in my workshop, so I gave this board a shot. From what I can tell, ASUS did a recall and had quite a few of these fail because of bad fans in the chipset cooler. They replaced them with revised units and that solved the problem. You can tell by the noise the fan makes. If it's fairly loud, it's the old fan because they had a bearing issue. If it's silent, it's the new fan. The refurbished boards have the new fan.The board works great, and has great performance and full x570 options. It comes with the combo wifi and Bluetooth antenna, but nothing else. No manual, cables, or anything else. It doesn't even come in its own box. It will be in a generic antistatic bag, wrapped up in big bubble wrap and the shipping box is the box you get.The only thing that mine was missing was the raised nut for the primary M.2 slot. There are base nuts permanently installed for each of the different sized M.2 boards, but the raised nut to keep the M.2 board level is missing.I had a spare so that worked for me. You don't have to have one as long as you are running a bare M.2 board. One with a heatsink might not work. Your M.2 board will come with a screw, but not the nut, and this board is missing the original nut.Other than that, everything works great, and it offers a great feature set for my needs in the workshop. Using a Ryzen 7 5700g with IGP and 32GB of 4000 ram. The ram was not on the QVL, but it's XMP profile worked fine after I did a BIOS update. Just make sure to clear the CMOS before you do the BIOS update so old information doesn't stay behind and cause trouble.
