Packaging and Contents

The front of the Gigabyte Z490 AORUS Master box features a dark background dominated by the AORUS logo. "Z490 AORUS Master gaming motherboard" is printed in white and orange on the left side, with the brand badging on the right.

The back of the box has all the highlights: a top-down shot of the board, several panels detailing prominent features, a shot of the rear I/O, and the specifications list. The box design is well executed and matches the board perfectly.


The accessories are above standard and include extras like RGB extension cables, thermistors, and even a noise sensor. Notably absent is any kind of rear I/O shield because the shield is integrated into the board.

The full list of accessories includes:

• Manual and support DVD
• AORUS sticker sheet
• 4x SATA 6 Gb/s cables
• Thermistor cable pack
• 2x RGB extension cables
• G-Connector
• Noise detection cable
• Wi-Fi antenna
