The Box and Goodies -
The front of the Marshal’s box has a graphic that we suppose is meant to be a representation of the actual Big Bang. This is on a black background with a slight incandescent coating to it. Of course most people will not notice that with the large 3DMark 11 sticker on the front. You get a professional copy of this when you buy the Big Bang Marshal. Under the front flap there is more marketing material. This stuff covers some of the items that MSI has been using in their Big Bang line up. These are items like the Hi-c CAPs, Super Ferrite Chokes, and the more mundane standard Solid Capacitors. You also get a look at the motherboard itself.

The back of the box has a good picture of the board along with more information about the board and some of the features that make it what it is. We will talk more about these later in the appropriate section, but we will give you a short list here. You get a 24-Phase digital PWM (called DrMOS), Multiple BIOS chips, server grade MOFETs, and an improved cooling setup on the board.

Inside the box you get a load of goodies that are pretty impressive. MSI has included two USB 3.0 brackets (for the back of your case), a more typical eSATA and USB 2.0 port bracket, voltage read point cables, the OC Dashboard, and much more.

Some of that more is a documentation. With our board we got some extra documentation. This was sent over by the PR guys to show me what this particular board is capable of. I guess we will see if the scores here are true when we get into the second half of our review.
