Between the VRM cooling system and the memory slots we can find the CPU fan header:

On the top left corner of the PCB, the 8-pin ATX +12V power connector can be found together with the IPS LEDs, which will light up gradually, depending on the load level:

The VRM cooling system looks very nice and we can find not one, but two heat-pipes between the 2 heatsinks:

The chipset is being cooled with the help of a passive heatsink, with the same paint color as the VRM heatsinks:
