In the top left corner, we will get to see the 8-pin ATX 12V power header, along with a System Fan header:

Right under the CPU socket, we will get to see a M.2 connector, which supports type 2242/2260/2280/22110 PCIe x4/x2 SSDs:

Near the VRM plastic shroud, we’ve got an Intel I219V GbE LAN chip:

The SuperIO chip on this board is an ITE IT8686E controller:

For the audio Interface, Gigabyte has equipped this board with a Realtek ALC1220 CODEC, which features an aluminum cover and additional filtering components:

The secondary M.2 connector does support type 2242/2260/2280 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSDs:

We’ve got plenty of interfaces on the bottom PCB area, but let’s get into more detail!

First, we’ve got the Frontal Audio Panel header, which is accompanied by the SPDIF_O header and two Digital LED Strip headers (5050 standard LED strip); the LED_C1/LED_C2 RGBW headers can be used to connect a standard 5050 RGBW LED strip (12V/G/R/B/W) with a maximum power rating of 2A (12V) and a maximum length of two meters. A TPM header is also available nearby:

Moving on, we’ve got two USB 2.0 headers, two System Fan headers, the Frontal Panel header but also two SATA3 headers which are oriented upwards (this might hurt a bit the cable management look in some setups):

This board is equipped with three PCI-Express x1 slots but also three PCI-Express x16 slots; the top X16 slot is x16 electrical, the middle is x8 electrical while the bottom one is x4 electrical:
