As mentioned, audio solution is hidden right under the front side of the PCIe slots and based on dual 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 and clearer high frequencies. There's little else to say really, the audio solution looks lovely.

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

An 8-pin connector to power that processor of yours, using the 8-pin connector it plenty though.

The motherboard has a 10 Phase Power delivery design for the processor based on digital power controllers. Again the metal pins are for our liquid cooling solution, normally you'd see the socket AM4 retention brackets here.
