With the exception of the RAM channels color coding and the first PCI Express x16 Gen3 slot, the card comes with an all-black design, which looks quite nice! Both chipset and VRM are covered by large, themed heatsinks which make sure that temperatures will remain on the safe side, even when dealing with an overclocked configuration:

Beginning with the top left corner of the PCB, we’ve got an 8-pin ATX power connector:

Right under the VRM heatsink, we will get to see a 4-pin fan power connector along with a M.2 socket 3 with M key, supporting 2242/2260/2280 storage devices (PCIE x4 mode); nearby there should have also been a LED header, as documented in the manual, but was removed with the final design:

The BigFoot Killer E2500 is also available nearby:

Next, we will remind of the NE5532AP operational amplifier for the audio interface; the great thing about this is the fact that it can be replaced with other models, in order to fit our needs:

The main audio CODEC for this board is the Realtek ALC1150:

Further down, we will get to see the Holtek HT32F52342 32-bit microcontroller:

The bottom PCB area comes with lots of headers and buttons:

First, we’ve got a Frontal Audio header, another 4-pin fan connector, no less than four 4-pin RGB LED headers, a Quick OC button, a BIOS Set button but also a BIOS Update button:
