Did you spot the micro-switches already?, I just love these. Very easy if you quickly need to reset or power on the mainboard. This kind of detail I like to see in a mainboard.

Outer right view of the mainboard, here we see additional USB ports, close to the SB750 chip of course which manages them. Next to that an IDE (P-ATA) connector and, all the way to the left, internal audio connections.

The A790GXM-AD3 is outfitted with two PCI Express x1 slots (yellow), two x16 PEG slots with x8 connections (red) and two standard PCI slots (black). All of it's main connectors and headers are placed around the edges of the board, save for a band of three USB headers. There are a total of three fan headers.

Right, are you guys ready for some tests?
