Product Showcase

Very eye catching is of course the overall slot design. Slot connectivity wise you'll spot six PCI Express x16 slots. One of the slots is a x1 (the black one). Thanks to an NVIDIA NF200 bridge chip you will have additional PCIe lanes allowing 3 x PCIe x16/x8, 2 x PCIe x8, 2 x PCIe x1, also 3-way SLI is supported. The processor only has 20 lanes, if dual or more cards they all will a still run at x8.

You'll also have debug LED (to the far right) displaying status / POST codes. Once booted into your operating system it will display the CPU temperature.  

We see power and reset buttons, a clear CMOS button once again and hey now, a nice switch. You get three BIOSes with the FTW. Screw one up, then go for the second. Or alternatively save a performance BIOS and a standard BIOS. Whatever rocks your boat man.

Minor details then, the board has an EATX Form Factor; Length: 12in - 304.8mm Width: 10.375in - 263.5mm and comes with one CPU fan header and 4 x system fan headers.
