In the light of what bob16314 posted let me clarify my words for better phrasing:
ASMedia SATA ports do not require any "special" cable, any cable that would be in any way different from cable that will work with rest of SATA ports on that mb. That is the whole point behind having a standard.
What bob16314 is talking about is never-ending 'net debate whether there is any functioning difference between cables that are marked as SATA2 vs. ones marked as SATA3, and that is a whole different ball of wax that got started by cable manufacturers introducing confusion in the market.
However, I don't think that topic needs to be started in response to your question because even -IF- there was any I assume you won't be using some odd cable you might have laying somewhere, I assume you will be using one of cables that EVGA shipped with your mb which brings us back to original question: Any cable that works fine on non-ASMedia SATA3 ports will work fine on them too, there is no "special" cable.
