by AMD 32 gigabytes of ddr3 memory we
have a single power fan connector up
here the top one of you guys can see
that rig at the camera
don't you guys couldn't see that now
even though they don't talk a lot about
it they do use pretty good quality
components you can see that everything
is covered all the MOSFETs or anything
are being cooled by these two coolers
right here
they're both passive they have no active
cooling on them whatsoever we have
another one of those down here right
here we have the 24 pin power connector
we have the additional power up here the
four pin over on this corner right here
will move down the board start up at the
PCI we have 1/2 of the PCI 1x lanes then
we have 1/2 of the PCIe lanes now these
run in 16 and 4 they do not run an 8 and
8 but you can use crossfire in it we
also have 2 standard PCI slots down here

gigabyte land we can see all that's
right here on the motherboard as far as
