There is a wide and extensive series of connectors to be found. We spot optical SPDIF out ports, HDMI, 15pin D-Sub VGA. HDMI 1900 x 1200 output comes in as a stock feature. You'll also get a Bluetooth radio as well as WIFI, what a lovley integration that is. There's a clear CMOS button as well as two eSATA ports. BTW the Z77H2-AX (rev. 1.0) supports Intel's Rapid Start Technology or Lucidlogix' Virtu MVP.

When we place the motherboard in an angle we see the socket LGA1155. It will support both Ivy Bridge as well as the current LGA1155 Sandy bridge processors. The board has an 8-pin power header for the processor indicating overclockability.

Aside from the Intel Z77 Express Chipset accommodating the LGA 1155 Core i3, i5, i7 and Celeron CPUs, the ECS Z77H2-AX  can be loaded with a maximum of 32 GB DDR in four 1.5V slots with Dual-channel architecture and capable of running with Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) modules, as well. Up-to 2400 MHz is supported from the BIOS.

ON/OFF and RESET buttons situated just above the uppermost PCIe x16 slot, and quite honestly that's an excellent spot for them.
