XFX continues with their practice of not including a full manual with their products. While the manual does little good for the video card upgrade, the truth is that with a motherboard upgrade there is a lot of information that should be in a manual that is not present in the Quick Install Guide. There is a manual on the Installation CD but XFX's website has not been updated to have one. One thing missing is the BIOS Setup guide which can be most helpful for a first time installer that needs to know where to setup a RAID array in the BIOS.

Bundle
The hardware side of the BIOS is excellent with four SATA Data cables, two SATA Power cables to support the four Data cables, a four port USB bracket, bringing the total supported by the motherboard to ten, a 2-way SLI bridge a 3-way SLI bridge the Installation CD and the IO shield. Some motherboard manufacturers tend to do away with SLI bridge connections to save money but this is the way a bundle should be put together where the supported features are included.

XFX offers a 2-year warranty on their motherboard. As XFX does not sell directly to the consumer the warranty is provided by the sellers. If you have a problem XFX offers Technical Support nine hours a day via a Toll-Free number, their website and officially sanctioned website forums. The website has a webpage dedicated to the X58 motherboard but the Support page has no drivers, BIOS or manual updates as of yet. The X58 motherboard is very new so this is understandable.
