The healthy bundle consists of:
- 6x white/silver SATA cables.

A free USB 3.1 front panel bay can be added to that list if you buy the board before September 30th 2016 and apply over here. The bay uses a SATA-Express connector to drive one USB 3.1 Type-C and one USB 3.1 Type-A port, in addition to PSU power connectors to allow for 100W power delivery over Type-C.
The usual affair of manuals and documentation is provided in addition to a pair of branded case badges and a set of convenient cable label stickers.
Gigabyte also includes a branded door hanger that can be used to avoid interruptions during important gaming sessions.
Voltage accuracy is the X99A Gaming Pro Carbon’s weakest link, It had never given what I asked. For example, I asked 1.197 volts, it gave 1.194 volts, and CUP-Z read 1.194 volts. And when I asked 1.199 volts, it gave 1.192 volts, CPU-Z read 1.199 volts, but more stable. I think CPU-Z is the correct one.
So … This motherboard with the Intel 6850k and a STRIX GTX1080 has disabled U.2 AND M.2 ??? Holly …
