At the lower left edge of the mobo, we see the front panel headers, etc. In the middle, an internal USB 3.1 Type C connector and to the right a reset and power button as well as an extra STATUS POST LED readout.

You'll notice two Aura 4-Pin RGB headers on the board as well as many FAN connectors. To the far right you can see, yes there it is again, one vertical mount for an M.2 SSD. The other one hides and is cooled, under the heatsink.

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 the year 2017.

To the right you can see the 8-pin power header. The PCB follows a standard ATX form factor at 12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm ). Keep that size in mind relative to what your PC case can house, please. Below, a photo of the backside, totally shielded, that looks great.
