Sapphire Pure Platinum A75 Motherboard Review
Andy Ruffell / 13 years ago
PackagingThe front of the packaging is certainly different from what we’ve seen from the likes of Asus and Gigabyte with the reflective surface and slightly upmarket extreme feel. A shield in the middle of the packaging brands the Platinum A75 branding and plenty of emblems are scattered at the bottom of the box with the main features listed. A Dirt 3 sticker is also in the top left as this board comes with a free redemption coupon.
The back of the box carries on with the reflective styling and shows a few columns with the main features under the “Pure” headings.
Taking a look inside we find a user manual, casebadge sticker, driver CD, I/O panel shield plate, a bundle of SATA cables and a Dirt 3 redemption coupon for use with Steam.
Also included is a USB 3.0 expansion bay which will fit snugly in the front of your case and give you two extra USB 3.0 ports which connects directly into the board. The panel has a brushed black metal effect and should match up with most cases on the market, quite nicely. They also include a PCI expansion bracket if you decide to use the USB 3.0 ports at the rear of your case instead.
