ZIF socket you guys can see that all the way around there's actually pretty good room for using in the aftermarket solution like a water cooler or anything like that which was what I think most people are gonna use over here to the right once again we see more golden components and we see the 24 and power connector right here as well move down we see some more golden parts down here it's all gold like they were saying down here we see another gold little heatsink now as far as the PCI we have two of them they're both 16 x1 is located here one is located here they're actually spaced far enough apart so that you can use many of the larger cards that are variable on the right now especially like some of those a giant card that you see that a soos makes their giant size we see one two three of the PCI 1x slots and then two of your standard PCI slots I'm going to move the board over to the side a little bit none of the right of the board we see the SATA ports there are six of them and they are all based on the latest status six right above that we see the eSATA port and you can see once again says serial ata six gigabits a second board around again the battery says easy charger USB 3.0 what that means that this will basically charge here down here we see the easy charger USB 3.0 what this means is that when you use this bracket right here you can plug things into it they'll charge your phone and all that other good stuff here's all your the rest of your external headers it's a USB 3.0 external we see two more system fan ports right here we get s/pdif comm ports a lot of stuff you won't use an audio port most people won't use that they'll flip the board around to this side here we can see some other function of the board low EMI HD audio giggle and another thing it says it says ESD protection now what ESD protection means when you're plugging things in and out of your board you won't get an electrical shock and blow those things out they're usually located right below it me one of the port's that you're using and it's a good thing to have I'm gonna flip the board now filing to the rear i/o where we can once again see that everything is based in gold DVI VGA HDMI I Triple E we have our little reset the CMOS button here then we have eSATA two regular USB ports and then we have one two more sets of the USB 3.0 ports offering you four on the rear i/o the land port
