Question 1

Does this still come with the WiFi antennas?

Accepted Answer

If you're buying the refurb item, it doesn't come with anything. It's basically useless. No cables, no screws, no manuals, no drivers, no plate for the case. You have to buy all of that separately, and at that point it's WAY cheaper to buy this board new.

Question 2

What about the shroud that goes around the i/o shield?  Does it have that on there?  if not, this should be a lot cheaper than this if it doesn't have anything that's supposed to come with the motherboard

Enter an answer to this question.The I/O shield is missing, but they did include 2 new antennas for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which is why the price is about 40 bucks cheaper. I was fine with going to that Google auction place to get it for about 15 bucks. I HIGHLY recommend getting it new vs. refurbished. I just sent it back as there is no left channel audio. The board looked good, but that has nothing to do with how it runs. If you stick with this board be prepared, as I found out that the 2080ti I used somehow kept windows from installing. After many hours on the web, I found a little nugget as the last comment on the 3rd page of some forum saying to switch video cards. Luckily I still had my 1080 ti ftw3 hybrid to pop in real quick. Also, if you stick with this board, in the BIOS, disable the Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth options before windows install, and after a successful installation, re-enable them. It's a good board, but with a little hiccup. Maybe it's that the BIOS is still new in this chipset. Good luck.
