Included is also a "pen" screwdriver and we can see that by pulling the pieces of the pen you get four different screwdrivers
which is very nice so you don't have to carry around a bunch of them when working.

Chaintech has also decided to supply you with a Digidoc when buying the player. This product measuers fan speeds and controlls the fans.
It was very well packed inside the big package and they have decided to call it CBox3. It comes with a aluminum front installed
but you have two replacement fronts also in black and beige depending on your case color.

There is also a big manual in different languages which is very good as it covers most things you need to know about your motherboard.

On the left we have the socket area which almost looks like a P4 socket. Heatsinks are easy to install though as they are standard size to fit the plastic socket.
On the right picture we can see the Radex cooler (gold thin in the middle) but what is it? Well here is a quote from Chaintech:
Revolutionary: CHAINTECH is the pioneer among the rest of motherboard makers to design the first onboard thermal solution - RadEX!
Active: Heat dissipation begins from the power source, RadEX actively diverts the high temperature away from the hot spots instantly!
Direct: CHAINTECH migrates Super Conductive Heatpipe Technology from space applications into motherboard cooling! It is an ideal, fast, the direct heat conducting method that guarantees you an everlasting stability!
EXhaust: RadEX draws the hot air straight out of your system and completely eliminates overheating!
So this new cooler is mounted on board to draw out the hot air out of the case. Seems to be a very nice feature which shows that manufacturers have started to think of
cooling down their products and which in turn saves you guys money.
