  1. 2 x M.2 Socket 3 connectors
  2. 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors
And can I say bless you ASUS, they understand it. You will not find any U2 storage connector or SATA Express connectors here. Hurrah!  BTW check out the extra fan headers, eh?

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.

Check the upper TUF logo above the upper PCIe x16 slot, cool design this is the one with some RGB finctionality. 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. 
  

 
In the video above an example of the LEDs on the TUF Z270. An incredible simple video, sorry about that. The only thing you can alter is that logo in the video in RGB colors and a few animations.

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.
