Packaging

No surprises at all here with the box for the X470-F. This is a Strix board and the box matches all of the past Strix boards as well. That means a black background with that neon like ROG logo over top of it. Then there is a picture of the board featured across the front with the product name next to it. Down along the bottom edge, most of the logos are the required ones from AMD and Nvidia for the SLI support for example but Asus did slip in one to show the Aura lighting support and that it is VR ready, not sure what a motherboard has to do with that, but sure!

On the back of the box, we have another photo of the board from the top down as well as an angled shot of the rear I/O connections. Then around that is a full specification listing. Information is king when it comes to trying to buy in retail and Asus has given you anything and everything you might need. Then down along the bottom, they have highlighted a few features with close up pictures. This includes the pre-mounted I/O shield, addressable LEDs, the Gen2 front panel connector, and the M.2 heatsink.

For documentation, Asus includes a full manual in its thick glory. Along with that, you get a small card with the ROG social media pages on it. Then a paper with a 20% off code from Cable-Mod, I’ve left ours uncovered for anyone who might want to put it to use. For stickers, you get a sheet of ROG stickers that also has labels for SATA cables. Then with that, you get a ROG door hanger. Last but not least is a driver/software disc. I’m going to keep pushing for USB drives as swag and for drivers/software, even though they cost more it would be a nice touch.

For accessories you get a black hard PCB SLI bridge on the chance you go SLI. Asus includes a few zip ties to help with wiring as well as M.2 mounting screws. Then for cables, you get two packs of two SATA cables for a total of 4, each having one cable with one right-angled end. Then the other two cables are lighting related. One is an extension cable for standard RGB strips, it is 80cm long. Then the other is an extension cable for the new addressable LEDs.

I am debating this board and the Prime X470 Pro, save a little money. The plan is to run a 2600X at stock settings, let the built in overclock do it job.
