Product Showcase
At the lower left edge of the mobo, we see the front panel headers, etc. Also, there is a Molex connector available to feed some extra juice to the motherboard.
In case you missed it, the PCB is shaped in an X, marking the name of the Maximus X Apex. Funny stuff really. You'll notice several 4 x Aura 4-Pin RGB Headers on the board as well as many FAN connectors.
Above and below the PCIe slots, the enhanced audio components. Quality capacitors. Realtek S1220A integrated audio, it's just good -- what can I say, how many people actually still purchase an audio-card these days? The reason is the massive advancement of the embedded solutions in o the year 2017.
To the right you can see the 8-pin power headers. The PCB follows a standard E-ATX form factor at 12 inch x 10.7 inch ( 30.5 cm x 27.2 cm ) X-shaped PCB. Keep that size in mind relative to what your PC case can house, please.
