Installed the new Gigabyte Wireless AC Upgrade kit (GC-C122M_A) on an EVGA B360 motherboard yesterday. Plopped right into the M.2 Key-E slot and is CNVi compliant; the motherboard BIOS immediately recognized the card. Windows 10 Update immediately loaded the appropriate drivers before I knew it!
 
Antenna wires are already fastened to the Intel 9560 wireless card and retained with a plastic sheath. No cheap antenna connections or soldering to worry about.
 
On Amazon right now for under 20 bucks. Beats separate items I purchased for my first B360 that cost 13 bucks more.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

    Product Box -- with Product Code GC-CI22M_A:

     
    This picture shows the wireless card installed on EVGA's B360 motherboard. Notice the pre-installed plastic shield over the antenna wire connections on the 9560 card. I attached the other wire ends to the I/O shield:
     

     
    I would have included a picture of the exterior antenna connected to the I/O shield, but file size limitation prevented that. 
     
    This kit beats having to solder the antenna wire ends to the wireless card.

    What are you getting for speeds?

    I have the Transmit Power setting on medium-high, with observed transmit speed from 520 Mbps to 866 Mbps. This card also handles Bluetooth as well.

    That is also dependent on what the AP the system is connecting to will support for speeds
