Behind the I/O connectors we will find the PTN336008S video output signal conversion controller:

Further down we have the ASMedia ASM1442 which is a high speed TMDS level shift IC for HDMI and DVI:

A secondary PTN336008S is to be found nearby:

The themed heatsinks cover the 8-phase CPU VRM, which should be enough even for high-level overclocks:

For the audio interface, Gigabyte has used Nichicon high end audio capacitors at each channel layout and a dedicated gaming headphone amplifier is able to drive 600ohm loads, giving gamers a fuller range or dynamic sound with crisper details and less distortion when using professional headphones. In the left bottom corner we have the shielded Sound Core3D DSP from Creative which is able to offer high-performance hardware audio processing while using the SoundBlaster software suite. The audio interface PCB area is shielded from the rest in order to avoid interferences; Path Lighting is also used here which means that the PCB is illuminated with a row of LEDs and gives an overall pleasant effect:

The board is fitted with three PCI-Express x16 slots (the last two on the bottom are x8 electrical) and between the first and the second slot we also have one PCI-Express x1. If we look carefully, nearby we will get to see the two BIOS chips, the Main BIOS and the Backup BIOS. When the Main BIOS gets corrupted, the board will automatically download a working version from Backup. If we do a BIOS update via a bootable drive, both (Main,Backup) will be updated, while when we do the update procedure from inside the UEFI interface, only the Main BIOS will be brought at the latest version:

Between the VRM heatsink and the first PCI-Express x16 slot we also get to spot a 4-pin fan connector:

On the bottom side of the PCB we will get to see the F_Audio connector, two more 4-pin fan connectors but also two USB 2.0 headers:
