What else do you receive








Bundle

With not much more than the bare minimum of cables supplied; it's clear to where costs have, understandably, been cut.

As still seems to be the norm, the SATA cables supplied aren't of the latching type, although at least two of them have right-angled connectors that will aid tidy routing in the case. However, from a building and maintenance point of view, it's nice to see ASUS still provides the ever-useful Q-Connector kit in the box. ASUS doesn't bundle any brackets, so you'll have to rely on case-attached ports if you want to maximise on the connectivity.

Software-wise, there is only one DVD supplied (not shown), and that includes the usual ASUS-branded utils such as PC Probe II, TurboV, EPU-6 Engine, and AI Suite, as well as the required drivers and an electronic copy of the manual.

Warranty

As with all its boards, ASUS provides a three-year return-to-base-warranty from the date of purchase on the customer's receipt. This is transferable between owners as long as the original receipt is retained.

This warranty is dealt with through the (r)etailer the board was purchased from. Assuming that you have the receipt, an RMA will be raised at the place of purchase and customers will receive a replacement board back within five working days.
