motherboard out of the box like I said before you guys can see it has that total Ferrari look the red in the black one with anything is they have their dragon down here so it's not a Ferrari it's a dragon up here on top eight pin power connection then we see on the board it says digital power so the whole board has digital power throughout the cooling solutions right here ZIF socket 1150 LGA 1150 like I said for all the brand new Haswell CPUs that are out there an i5 and i7 now right here all the memory slots for dims 32 gigabytes of ddr3 first of the CPU fan headers up here on top another one off here to the side now I showed you those little connectors earlier they go right here this is for like reading all the voltage everything off of your motherboard 24-pin power connection and then right here on the side imma turn the board to the side right here they have their a and B BIOS I'll try to get this up here so the cameramen can see that better for you folks so you guys can see right here this is the a and B BIOS which you switch that back and forth to biases are right there I'm there weld to the board but if either one of them goes bad you can go to the other one then flash later went back to normal here on the side we have USB 3.0 connector and then over here we have all of our SATA connectors and there's two different types of controllers on here there's the as media and the Intel the until supports up to six the other is by the as media so these are all Intel this one right here is as media go ahead just bring the board around again to the side right here
