PACKAGING AND CONTENTS

Once again EVGA ships the latest Dark motherboard inside a black box that has the model name at the front, their logo and some of the main features.

At the rear we can see contact information for EVGA, their 3-year warranty and several certification logos.

The moment you open the box you'll see a note from EVGA informing you that in case of any issues/defects you should return the product to them and not where you bought it from.

Most of the bundle is placed inside individual aluminum-foil like bags and on a piece of cardboard placed over the motherboard.

The bundle is pretty much identical with that of the Z390 Dark so along with the Z490 Dark mainboard/motherboard EVGA also packs a full size virtual guide (made out of thick plastic), rear I/O shield, two plastic WiFi Antennas, four SATA 6Gb/s Cables, SLI bridge, two probelt voltage measurement connectors, two M.2 Thermal Pads, M.2 screws, motherboard mounting screws, 10 very tall standoffs, plastic case badge, compact USB flash drive (contains the initial drivers) and the installation guide.
