The slide counts cables. Cybenetics and the ASCII review show that two of the three PCIe cables carry two plugs each, so the unit has 5 PCIe 8-pin plugs on 3 cables. SATA is 9 plugs on 3 cables and Molex is 3 plugs on 1 cable. The ASRock spec table on Inside Tech prints 2 for 12+4 pin, which Cybenetics, BuildCores, Geeknetic and ASCII do not show. One cable is stored.5Reviewweekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/004/243/4243655Read 15 October 2026Cables in the box: 1 ATX 20+4 pin, 2 EPS 4+4 pin, 1 12V-2x6 rated to 600 W, 3 PCIe 6+2 pin, 3 SATA cables with 9 SATA plugs and 1 peripheral cable with 3 plugs.

The stored lengths are the maker's lengths from ASRock's Cables Included slide. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the thin sideband wires, so the 16AWG power wire gauge is stored. The sample is the same for the black and white models.
