A back-panel OC button allows novice Overclockers to automatically load a predetermined overclock configuration before continuing with OC-Touch to quickly find their CPU's best margin. Below the buttons you can see an array of voltage measurement modules. There are also two HDD/SSD SATA storage feeds so you can feed your storage units directly from the motherboard.

USB 3.0 on this board is managed by two Fresco FL1009 host controllers. There are 4 USB 3.0/2.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the internal USB header)

There are a lot of smaller headers for additional USB 2.0 ports, audio IO as well as frontpanel button/LED headers.

Check out the PCIe slot connectivity, that's four x16 slots and three x1 slots. Gen 3 compatibility is there as far as the motherboard goes in x16:x16:x8:x8 configuration. Excellent for say dual-graphics cards and then an x8 for a Physx card.

The board can support 4-way SLI (in 4x 8-lanes mode) 4-way SLI, 3-way SLI and 2-way SLI bridges have been included in the package bundle.

Overall the motherboard is incredible feature rich and fairly good looking.  The board has a nice seven fan headers BTW, very impressive specs.
