From left to right we start at the PCI-E cease fire switches which allow you to disable PCIe slots. As a regular user you'll never use them, but say you cool down 3-4 graphics cards with liquid nitrogen post and one cards gets trouble, that way without removing the (hard to remove) graphics card with LN2 pot, you can simply disable the respective PCIe slot. So the card can remain seated.

The DirectOC dial allow you to tweak the baseclock in 1 MHz increments in real-time. OC Genie auto overclocks your processor when activated, our processor got an automated overclock at 4 GHz. But 4 GHz is for pussies right? :)

Obviously the multi-BIOS switch allows you to switch towards a secondary backup-BIOS should anything go horrible wrong. Also should for whatever reason a firmware flash fail, you press the button and will get back on your feet in no time this way. It saves irritation and RMA processes.

USB 3.0 on this board is managed by two NEC D720200 host controllers. There are 6 USB 3.0 ports (4 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the internal USB header), and supplied is a USB 3.0 bracket which you can mount at an empty PCI slot in your XL-ATX compatible chassis.

There are a lot of smaller headers for additional USB 2.0 ports, audio IO as well as front panel button/LED headers.
