This lath has one notable blueprint aberration from the added two. See area the front-panel attack is, aerial on the appropriate edge? That could be acceptable or bad, depending on your case and how you appetite to avenue your wires. In a abounding ATX or microATX chassis, you may ambition to run your front-panel affairs beneath the motherboard if wire length, adolescent or mounting-hole adjustment won't let you avenue them abaft the motherboard tray. You can additionally acutely see the mSATA connector, at 10 o'clock from the CPU, aloof beneath the audio jacks. It includes the hold-down spiral too, which I've apparent abandoned (that spiral is already on the board). In the box, you get two SATA cables, the motherboard disciplinarian CD, a abstracted CD for the Wi-Fi card, an I/O bowl and the wireless card's antenna, which sits on your desk.

Perhaps due to some added features, this board’s blueprint is somewhat busy. Among added anomalies, the array is not captivated in a clip, but is captivated and ashore to the aback of the USB3.0 and LAN adapter housing. Writing on the blanket indicates it is a CR2032, but don’t plan on bottomward in to a Wal-Mart or Home Depot if you charge a replacement. Similar to CMOS batteries in abounding laptops, it is affiliated to the lath with a two-pin header, so you’ll charge to get one with the aforementioned polarity, or do some artistic slicing and re-taping. The CLR_CMOS pins do not accept a jumper cap, and are not abreast the array (or its pins), but instead are two-thirds up the appropriate edge, abaft the advanced console header, which is there too instead of actuality in its accepted abode on the basal left. If there isn’t a cable-management aperture nearby, you may appetite to run your advanced console affairs beneath the motherboard afore you arise it, to accumulate them hidden. Aloof aloft the advanced console attack on the appropriate bend is a COM anchorage header. If you charge an absolute consecutive anchorage though, it is a abstracted purchase. The anatomy and CPU fan headers, both 4-pin PWM, are beneath that in the centermost of the appropriate edge. On the larboard ancillary of the board, aloof beneath the rear console audio connectors is a mSATA connector. This adapter is rated for 6Gb/s. The hold-down spiral is included, and is pre-installed on the board. There are three white SATA 6Gb/s connectors, one on the advanced edge, and two abaft the RAM slots. One of the closing is about up adjoin the PCIe slot, but the ancillary area a locking blow would be is not obstructed. The RAM slots accept locking levers on the appropriate ancillary only, so there’s no bright adumbration that RAM has been absolutely seated. The advanced bend has a USB3.0 attack and a USB2.0 attack to the larboard of the ahead mentioned SATA 6Gb/s connector. On the added ancillary of that is the distinct atramentous SATA 3Gb/s connector, afresh the 24-pin ability connection. All capacitors are solid, and the lath additionally uses ferrite-core chokes.
Here's the capital UEFI screen, giving the accustomed overview:

The Advanced Abundance Settings folio seems to accept a bug in it; the appear abundance is not constant with what the multiplier suggests.
With a 35x multiplier, why is it assuming 3.99GHz? This produced the afterward results, assuming the accepted ~3.5GHz accessory overclock (and not abundant aftereffect on temps):

I absitively this lath bare a benefit picture, alike if it's low-quality:

All about the edges are orange LEDs. Turning them off doesn't alike annals a 1W aberration in ability consumption. They can be set to abounding accuracy (as they are here), 50-percent accuracy and/or beating mode, which is added like breathing. Alternatively, you can about-face them off entirely. The aftereffect is interesting, admitting it does force us to afresh ask who ability appetite to buy this board? It is rather anomalous, sucking bottomward added abstract and active hotter than the added two boards in our round-up. Moreover, it doesn't facilitate RAID, admitting it does accept abundant ports to abutment a advancement drive. Or, you could use Windows' software-based RAID 1.
What this lath absolutely offers is amazing arrangement performance. Look at the upload speeds, abnormally from the wireless controller. Media-serving HTPC, anyone? Despite college ability and heat, it didn't appoint college (or noisier) CPU fan speeds. We're still attractive at beneath than 20W of difference, which ability not amount to some enthusiasts. But if you charge the arrangement achievement and cardinal of ports this lath offers, it may be aloof the ticket.
