Packaging and Contents

For this Z690 AORUS Tachyon motherboard, Gigabyte has forgone the bright oranges found alongside the Z690 AORUS Master and AORUS Ultra, instead focusing on a design that is surely to catch the attention of potential customers when seen in person. The front covers the basics with the product name and clearly states this is a DDR5-based motherboard for the LGA 1700 socket.

The back of the box keeps it simple in terms of presentation. In the center is a depiction of the Z690 AORUS Tachyon motherboard with both sides listing features related to the product.


The included accessories consist of the barebones with SATA cables, Wi-Fi antenna, manual, and thermal probes. Considering this is an overclocking-orientated motherboard, the basics are expected, but not much else.

The full list of accessories includes:

• User manual
• Quick installation guide
• SATA 6 Gb/s cables
• Wi-Fi antenna
• Case badge
• Thermal probe
