Packaging and Accessories
Kicking things off with the unboxing. The packaging itself is typical ASRock with a simple but elegant design on the front with a simple logo and model name along with some of the key features like Thunderbolt and WiFi 7 as mentioned before.
Flipping things around, and we’re greeted with a lot more information including our first glimpse of the board itself, that powerful power delivery system, the plethora of M.2 slots and much more along with a full view of the rear I/O and a specification table making it easy to see if this board is right for you if looking at it in a retail store.
Inside the box, you’ll find a reasonably packed set of accessories which include:
- WiFi Antenna for the integrated WiFi 7
- 4 SATA cables, of which 2 are right-angled
- Quick installation guide
- Other various paperwork
- 2 x M.2 standoffs
- 2 x M.2 screws
- ASRock branded keycap
- 3 x thermistor cables
- ARGB splitter cable
So I think it’s safe to say that everything you’d need to get up and running is included without a huge amount of other non-essentials. Sure the keycap isn’t a necessity, but that’s only going to cost pennies to produce and is actually a functional accessory.
