Packaging
Biostar has fashioned a really nice looking package for its maiden socket 2011 board. Amid the crimson background and hot 'TPower' logo, the paperboard is littered with badges galore detailing the different features of the board, such as 3-way SLI and 4-way CrossfireX support, PCIe3, and the support for Sandy Bridge-E processors on LGA 2011 socket.
Opening the box clamshell-style reveals another cardboard container with doors containing the user manual and driver/utility CD and included accessories: a bundle of yellow SATA cables (six in total), SLI and CrossFire bridges, and rear I/O panel cover.
The TPower X79 is securely tucked away under the accessories box, cushioned on all edges with foam placeholders and wrapped in an anti-ESD bag.
