Packaging and Contents

For me, what's on a box matters in a big way. I mean, it's something you throw away or toss into a closet, but is also the first thing you see when you actually buy a product. You bought it because of what's inside, but what's outside, if done right, simply validates your purchase. If you know what's inside this box, then the outsides of the MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON box are perfectly matched to the board contained within. At least on the front. The rear is in information-overload mode and burns my eyes.


So you flip open the lid and find the MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON up top, but obviously that's here, what else can we find? What goodies does this board come with? A picture is below:


There are just enough accessories in the box. Actually, I would have preferred to find a NVIDIA SLI HB bridge here rather than the now-outdated flexible one included with the MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON.

• Quick installation guide, support CD, I/O shield
• 4x SATA cables
• 1x Flexible SLI bridge
• 2x MSI cable labels
• 2x RGB LED connection cables
