ASRock supply the Z77 Extreme6 within a sizeable cardboard motherboard box which carries a black and gold livery. This should provide adequate protection for the board during shipping and provides enough room for all the bundled accessories. The top of the box is relatively sparse but does feature a few logos which advertise some of the boards features.

Turning the box over reveals a detailed breakdown of the motherboards different features. All of the boards features and specifications are detailed in full on the ASRock website, here.

Inside the box we find a plethora of accessories, reflecting the high-end position of this particular model. All of the standard accessories are present, including a rear I/O shield, four SATA cables, an installation guide and a software CD. ASRock also include a number of other accessories, such as an SLI bridge card and a USB3.0 panel which can be fitted in the front or rear of the case.
