Taking a first hand look at the front of the box, we can see there is a lot of artistic work going on and some subtle branding.
The front of the box has a panel which flaps over to give us more information on the power delivery, components used and overclocking functions.
Taking a look at the rear of the box, we get a glimpse of the board and some of the main key MSI features including a view of the rear I/O.
When we open the packaging up, we can see quite a large bundle inside including a quick guide, quick installation guide, certificate of quality and stability, driver CD, user guide and software guide.
Also inside is a set of M connectors, voltage check point adapters, rear panel USB 3.0 plate, rear I/O panel shield plate and three SLI connectors of varying sizes.
For those with massive storage needs, we find a total of eight SATA cables with right-angled connectors.
Finally we also find another back panel connector plate with eSATA functionality, an eSATA power cable and eSATA data cable.
Why would they think that anyone building an X79 system would want fake bullets on their motherboard? Totally ruins the look of it.
i think you buy a board like this for it’s feature set.
45 seconds and a black sharpie could fix the bullets.
it will be covered by the case anyway 🙂
