MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 (A85X) Motherboard Preview

The front of the box is typical from what we see from MSI with a large Military Class III logo taking up most of the box. Around this is a key list of MSI and AMD features including Click BIOS II and socket FM2 A10/A8/A6/A4 compatibility. Another thing to note is that we see a Windows 8 compatible logo for those interested in the upcoming operating system.

Flipping the box over to the rear, we can find some information on the quality and stability of the components used including chokes, and caps.  Some brief charts and graphs are shown to simulate the performance boost from the integrated MSI features and a view of the rear I/O panel is visible. Straight away, for an AMD based board, it seems we have a lot going on.

Opening the box up for the first time and moving inside, we find a quick install guide, driver and utility CD, software & application user guide, certificate or quality & stability, mainboard user guide, rear I/O panel, V-Check voltage point cables, M-Connectors, and a total of four right-angled SATA cables. For an AMD based board, the bundle is certainly plentiful and we have to remember that an A85 G65 based board is going to be fairly high-end for the range from MSI.
