The board is fitted with a LED strip header. The motherboards will support either 5v or 12v digital LED strips. Aura SYNC with Digital LEDs comes with multiple patterns and various speed settings with more to come.  Other then that the usual IO connectors are there as well as a power, reset, safe-boot and retry micro switches.

Above and below the PCIe slots the enhanced audio components. I think these are some Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors or at least something similar. On RT1220S integrated audio. it's just good what can I say, how many people actually still purchase an audio-card these days? The reason are the massive advancement on the embedded solutions these days.

All the way to the left the POST diagnostic LED of course, super handy if you run into a POST stage error (you can read out the error code and correspond to it in the manual to see where the problem is (say memory). To the right you can see the 8-pin power header. The PCB is follows a standard ATX form factor at 12 x 9.6in / 30.5 x 24.4cm.
