Packaging and Contents

The front of the Gigabyte Z490I AORUS Ultra box features a dark background dominated by the AORUS logo. "Z490I AORUS Ultra 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 a little above standard and include extras like an RGB extension cable. Also included are three fan adapters since the Z490I AORUS Ultra uses smaller form factor headers for three of the four available connections. 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
• 2x SATA 6 Gb/s cables
• USB split header
• RGB extension cable
• 3x Fan adapters
• M.2 hardware
• Wi-Fi antenna
