Gigabyte Z68 G1.Sniper 2 Review

Packaging and Contents

If you’re branding your product line as the “G1 Killer”, it’s vital that you don’t half-ass it. After all it would be easy to just have it as a cool sounding name. Gigabyte absolutely go the full monty with the packaging, looking just like a 50 cal ammo box and the standard skulls and things one would expect from something branded “killer”. 

Even the internal box is in keeping with the theme, supplied in a generic woodland variation of the widely used digital camouflage. It’s nice to see that the branding has also extended to the driver CD. It’s these little touches that make all the difference. 

Accessories are fairly standard, four SATA cables, a SLI bridge and a very nicely designed IO Shield. Gigabyte also supply a USB 3.0 front panel which comes complete with a Turbo button. Suddenly those 486 memories come flooding back.
