Asus always provides a good deal of stuff in their retail boxed bundle and I have only seen a handful of boards from them that have not come with a fully loaded box. The P5E3 comes with everything you need to get your motherboard hooked up and installed into your system. The remote control is a very nice addition to this bundle as well. There is no SATA floppy included, but you can make one off the included driver disc if needed.
The Q-Connector allows you to attach all of your Front Panel I/O devices at one time on installation. The heatsink is used only with water cooling systems to cool down the northbridge. A 2-port USB bracket brings the total USB support up to 8 including the 6 on the rear I/O. Asus always brings their AI suite with their motherboards that provides options for auto overclocking, system monitoring of the various settings and the usual suite of Norton’s Internet Security that comes with all Asus boards.
