MSI ships the Z270 Gaming M3 in a bright red box that features an image of the motherboard on its front side and specifications on the rear.
A slim accessory bundle is to be expected at this price point. MSI keeps added extras to a minimum by providing just two SATA cables alongside the labelled rear IO shield and a 4-pin RGB header extension cable. That RGB extension cable is a smart inclusion that can address cable routing issues.
The usual set of documents is provided alongside a large case sticker featuring MSI’s trademark gaming dragon. Accompanying the bundle is a set of stickers that can be used to label cables running to different devices. This is particularly useful to those with multiple storage drives.
