We love the packaging of this box – the letter ‘M' in bright yellow and the name of the product in the center. Brilliant and very eye catching.

There are two smaller boxes inside – one of which contains the peripherals and an MSI overview of internal testing. This isn't the first time MSI have done this and its an interesting concept. The test date, some performance results and name of tester are included. The MSI engineer tested the board to 4.2ghz, but we plan on taking it beyond that point today.

  3. I think the gigabyte boards look the best, but its not that big a deal when they all seem this good. ASUS Is my least favourite.

    Good job from MSI with this one – i have had good succcess in the past with MSI products.
