Packaging and Contents

This is a much more affordable board than the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero we looked at recently, so you'd be right to expect an accessory set that's smaller than the already thin kit included with the ASUS board. Still, this board's predecessor didn't have a particularly extensive set of toys in the box either with an M.2 fan-assisted heatsink the only interesting inclusion.

Here you get four SATA cables, a Wi-Fi antenna (adhesive but not magnetic), a 3-pin ARGB splitter cable and three 2-pin thermistor cables. We'll have to wait and see how the included heatsink fares with a PCIe 5.0 SSD to see if ASRock ditching any extra cooling was wise, but it's clear that your cash is going predominantly into the motherboard itself.



The full list of accessories includes:

• 1x Quick start guide
• 1x Antenna
• 4x SATA cables
• 3x thermistor cables
• 3-pin RGB splitter cable
• ASRock keycap and badge
