Packaging

In some ways, I wish ASUS would update its ROG packaging, but I am also glad that the familiar exterior makes ASUS ROG products easy to spot at your local store. The front is pretty basic, with just the board's name and a little picture of all included accessories coming with the ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME, and that is all. The rear of the box goes into a LOT of detail about the board's functionality, with a full list of the board's physical features.


The flap on the front of the box can be flipped over to look at the board inside through a plastic window. On the inside of the cardboard flap are several feature highlights we usually find here on ASUS ROG packaging. The board itself and its accessories come in separate boxes inside the main box, with the new ASUS OC Panel fit into the plastic cover protecting the ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME. The accessories box is packed to the brim with goodies, so much so that pretty much anything you will ever need is here.
