Packaging and Contents
Accessories largely match other boards in the price range with the usual pair of SATA cables, quick start guide, sticker set, and Wi-Fi aerial. Additional items include a ROG keychain, additional thermal pad for SSDs longer than the usual 2280 form factor, as well as a Q-Latch pin for them, Q-Slide clips and cable ties. Perhaps the most important items are the M.2 rubber supports that are essential for single-sided SSDs, preventing them from bowing under heatsink pressure and ensuring they sit flat against the upper SSD heatsink. This can significantly reduce temperatures.
