MSI ships the X99S MPower in typical packaging for a motherboard from its OC series. A bright yellow ‘M’ exists on the front of the packaging, while a detailed interpretation of specifications and features is found on the rear.
A sizeable set of documents is included with the X99S MPower. In addition to the standard manual and drivers CD, MSI also includes a door hanger, labels for cables, and an overclocking assistance guide.
A large case badge outlining the board’s OC series standing is also included.
Unfolding an included poster shows a full overview of the motherboard with all of its primary design points outlined. The poster could be useful to users who want to quickly find the best spacing for their graphics cards, or if they want to stick it to their wall simply to impress friends.
The MPower’s bundle consists of six SATA cables, the labelled rear IO shield, two black SLI ribbons, and M-connectors for the front panel headers and a diagnostic speaker.
So there’s a new bios out soon that handles high speed ram better then eh? Interesting as I’m running this mobo with 16GB of 3GHz Hyper X Predator ram and currently stuck running it @ 2666 so would be nice if theres a new bios out soon which’ll help take it to full speed…
As for those worried with tight dual GPU placement, I’m running SLI and have the cards in slots 1 & 3 instead with 2 empty, lots of room for cooling that way and works absolutely fine!
