Product Showcase

The audio solution is hidden right under the front side of the PCIe slots and based on a Realtek ALC 1220 CODEC and a combination. You can spot Nichicon audio grade (or at least something similar looking) fine capacitors, suited for high-grade audio equipment to provide rich sound in the bass range and clearer high frequencies.

Check the heatsinks, pretty cool design. Take note of the metal covers on the two primary x16 PCI-Express slots as they show off a bit. They provide sturdier and stronger slots, handy for very heavy graphics cards.

A 4-pin and 8-pin connector to power that processor of yours, just using the 8-pin connector is plenty though, in fact using just one 4-pin would do the job already.

The motherboard phase power delivery design for the processor based on digital power controllers. Incredible clean looks btw.
