Manual and Labeling ++ Well placed, complete motherboard description and good manual with a lot of tips about topics like proper CPU installation, memory installation, etc.. The manual comes in different languages. The usual software setup guide with UEFI settings unfortunately was not included in the sample but is available as PDF. Therefore, a moderate depreciation of the manual because the PDF does not help the buyer, when one is in the BIOS.
