MSI Big Bang XPower II (X79) Motherboard Review
Andy Ruffell / 12 years ago
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.
