The usual affair of documentation is provided by Gigabyte, in addition to the driver CD and case badge. Credit to Gigabyte for continuing to include a block diagram in the motherboard manual, despite this part's lower selling price. Budget-strapped users may still have an interest in how their motherboard communicates with other hardware.

Additional documentation comes in the form of Black Edition items. Gigabyte includes a certificate of reliability to outline the motherboard's 168-hour validation. Also provided are a VIP card for the Gigabyte Black Edition Members Club, and an extra case badge.

Gigabyte's accessory bundle consists of four SATA cables (two straight-to-straight and two right-angled-to-straight), a flexible black SLI bridge, and the rear IO shield.

Each of the SATA cables is housed inside a mesh covering which gives a unique appearance. Many system builders may be happy to show off their drive cables for once.
