She's a looker alright, what a nicely design motherboard. At the lower edge of the Z370 Godlike Gaming we see the a header, front panel headers, etc. and if we zoom in a tiny bit.
The board is fitted with a LED strip header. The Gaming series motherboards will support either 5v or 12v digital LED strips. Mystic LIGHT 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 dual-BIOS switch and PCIe PEG on/off micro switches.
Above, below the PCIe slots the enhanced audio components. I think I noticed some WIMA and Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors under that cover. On 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. The motherboard also has an extra ESS DAC for headphones BTW.
Just left of the rear IO you can see a 6-pin power header. This basically is for your graphics cards tweaking needs, if you want a little extra ampage on the PCIe slots, you can use that connector to feed it, but it isn't mandatory to use, of course.
To the lower right you'll stumble into a nicely styled series of buttons. These are for reset and power on. Also the rotatable know can be used for a little automated overclocking. We however are not a fan of that and always advice tweaking in the BIOS by yourself so that you know how much volts you add and where your stable tweak can be found. All the way to the right the POST diagnostic LED of course, super handy.
If you hadn't noticed it, the PCB is a big bigger then usual, as such this board follows an E-ATX form factor at 12 x 10.7in / 30.5 / 27.2cm. Please do check if the motherboard will actually fit in you PC case.
