Product Showcase

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 usage with massive heavy graphics cards. 

  
There is quite some attention to detail in the CPU area. If you count along with me, the CPU alone has ten power phases, these are fed by one 8-pin power connector.

Three x16 and three PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. One graphics cards used would configure at a full x16 PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes. If you go SLI your cards will be configured as x8/x8 though. The lower black x16 slot, in fact is offering x4.

 
The audio chip used is the Realtek ALC1220 that offers 7.1-channel High Definition audio, it has been enhanced with some higher grade capacitors. 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. There's little else to say really, the audio solution looks lovely. 

That would be the 8-pin connector to power that processor of yours, the motherboard has a 10 phase power delivery design for the processor based on digital power controllers. And below a couple of photos of the motherboard powered on, for the RGB aficionados.
