The audio solution is based on a Realtek ALC 1220 CODEC. You can spot high (we think Nichicon) audio grade Fine Gold capacitors. Fine Gold capacitors are 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 is fine.
Take note of the metal covers on the two primary x16 PCI-Express slots. They provide sturdier and stronger slots, handy for very heavy graphics cards.
Just one 8-pin connector to power that processor of yours, but it should be plenty though. The motherboard has a 8+4 -Phase Power delivery design for the processor based on digital power controllers. ASUS, as always, follows their stringent component selection. And hey, check it out more FAN headers :) We like the first one, dedicated for LCS pumps.
Below some extra photos showing the LED system, which is configurable in on /off / animation and RGB colors. The Rear IO plate and heatsink have LEDs.
