Packaging and Contents

In traditional ASUS fashion, the ROG motherboards come in a distinct matte black box with red accents. When looking at this as a product that is marketed and sold under premium tier title, from the outset, it comes across as normal box. But once you get up close, it becomes apparent that this box is basically a mini suitcase—an unexpected and welcome approach to packaging.

The back of the box has a depiction of the motherboard RGB, which is fairly accurate, giving a idea what what it will look like when in use. Below the picture is a detailed specification list that is split into different sections for easy reading. Finally, on the right side is a few highlights such as M.2 PCIe Gen5 support and a EKWB waterblock dubbed "Ultrablock" by ASUS.


After unlatching the "suitcase box", it unfolds into two sides. One part is the EKWB Ultrablock, while the other side holds the motherboard.


After removing the monoblock, multiple smaller compartments can be found below, each holding different peripherals like the DIMM.2, fan controller, USB Audio-DAC and all the other motherboard accessories listed below.
