Package and Contents

First off we start with the package and the contents. For the base boards that are part of the ROG series, ASUS has a simple way for you to identify them on the shelves. All Intel boards use a base blue for the boxes and AMD use green; pretty simple since Intel’s business colour is blue and AMD’s is green. On the front there is very little info apart from the company logo and the board model number.

On the back, however, ASUS does a good job to complete the picture. ASUS puts marketing info on some of the board’s primary features along with a spec sheet that is available on the website and a colour photo on the top right.

Moving along, it’s time to look at the user manual. ASUS colours the manual in the same scheme as the box. The user manual is the same usual manual that ASUS provides with its high-end boards, rather large with a lot of info on the board and the included software on the included DVD.

ASUS provides five SATA data and one IDE data cable in its cable bundle. There are no power splitters included so your PSU will need to be up to scratch or you will need to buy them separate.

Lastly on the included accessories list we have two Crossfire data cables for two or four GPU operations as well as a PCI expansion cover with two USB and one FireWire port.
