Well look at that; small and good looking. And really, as powerful as an enthusiast setup. Included in the bundle is one mighty fine motherboard and gear like braided SATA cables, SLI connectors a manual and driver CD.

You will notice that the motherboard has a nicely filled IO panel. The I/O back panel reveals 10 USB ports (6 are 3.0). A Realtek ALC1150 high definition audio codec is the source for audio.The integrated audio comes from Realtek ALC1150 combined with a software suite. The audio unit has special capacitors and also has an added audio headphone amplifier. We spot one 10/100/1000 fast Ethernet jack (Intel I128-V). Included as well is a PS/2 port for either a keyboard and or mouse. Extremely handy if you enter windows and your USB ports do not work just yet.

4 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and 3x x1 PCIe slots. The x16 slots are PCI Express Gen 3.0 configurations ready, that's just more than plenty. Mind you that the Core i7 5960X and 5930K processors have 40 PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes while the Core i7 5820K 'only' has 28 PCIe lanes.

 You get one 8-pin power header for the processor, but that's sufficient for a nice overclock, let me tell ya.
