MSI ship the motherboard in a sleek, good quality box which features various visual indicators as to its features and compatibility, and almost passed without any gaming jargon were it not for the self-certified 'enthusiast gaming' logo.


The back of the box gives a clear breakdown of key features, hardware support, and specifications. It also includes a full image of the motherboard a diagram of the rear IO.



MSI have included a whole array of accessories, including: 4x SATA cables, Killer Wireless AC PCIe card with 2x antennae and screw, LED extension/splitter, case badge, manual, driver disc, cable labels, and an SLI bridge.
