The Rampage III Black Edition arrives in a forbidding black box with the Republic of Gamers logo at the top and a brief indication of the key selling points along the bottom.
As is becoming more commonplace today, the box is a gatefold design, which opens up to give a sneak peak at the board, and a list of specifications on the left.
The bundle is extensive, with a plethora of SATA cables supplied for the system build. There are also various Crossfire and SLI cables, including a 3 way SLI cable. Stickers, software discs, literature, and a USB 3.0/eSATA adapter is also included.
Asus include Kaspersky Anti Virus, which is a great piece of software to bundle.
Asus also include a hybrid card, called the ‘Thunderbolt'. This is a sound card with built in headphone amplifier and it also contains the fantastic Killer E2100 Nic. We will look at this later in the review.
