We see Green, Reset and Power on-board "touch" buttons. It might look like MSI forgot to install something there but in fact these are Easy Button switches -- electromagnetic touch button for Reset/Power (LED light switch), there is no "physical" button, you just touch PCB directly, and as mystical as that is and sounds, it actually works. It's one of these things that separates the motherboard from the competition. I don't like them though ... and prefer traditional buttons.
You'll also get a OC dial, allowing you in/decrease the base clock of the processor on the fly.

As stated we spot five physical x16 PCIe slots (supports x16; x16/x16; x16,x8,x8,x4 and x8/x8/x8/x8/x4). The 890FX has a lot of bandwidth to offer and play around with. NVIDIA SLI by the way is NOT supported.

Okay, one last look my friends ... then it's crunch time. Priced at roughly 180/190 EUR this is going to be an interesting motherboard alright, will the money you need to put down be justified? But it's time to see how well it performs don't you think. First we'll be managing a little stress test at default configuration.
