Packaging and Contents
As well as a Q-Antenna compatible Wi-Fi antenna, a cable tie package, two SATA cables and a quick start guide, ASUS includes various M.2 SSD installation components such as a Q-Slide, and components for installing SSDs shorter than the usual 2280 form factor. The M.2 backplate rubber package is a particularly important accessory as it supports single-sided SSDs, ensuring they make good contact with the heatsink above. This makes a difference to temperatures, but is only useful on the topside M.2 port. You also get an ROG keychain and sticker set.
