Bundle

MSI packaged the 790GX-G65 motherboard in a white box with a G on the left side of the box. The G has flames as the picture. The front of the box has a list of supported processors, the name of the motherboard, CrossfireX, AM3, Norton's Security 2009 and HDDBackup stickers. The rear of the box has a list of the features and a description of each feature in detail.

Opening the box shows the care that MSI put in bringing the packaging together. There is a cardboard tray holding the manual, the Driver CD on one side and the accessories on the other side. Below the cardboard tray is where the motherboard is located in a plastic bag. MSI went all out with the inclusion of four SATA Data cables, a set of M-Connectors, the SATA power cable.]

Driver

Utility

Service base

Norton IS 2009

The drivers for the motherboard are installed just as you would any video card. MSI uses a rebadged AT Catalyst driver install that puts their logo on the interface instead of ATI's. The driver CD also came with the Driver Booster Manager, Dual Core Center, Green Power Center, Live Update, Overclocking Center. There is also a 60-day trial version of Norton Security 2009 Adobe Reader and eSobi. Also included is a copy of HDD Backup to backup your HDD.
