There are also COM (serial) and front audio headers located at the bottom left of the board.
There are 6 SATA ports on the board, grouped together along the right edge. The black headers are the native Intel SATA connections and they are all SATA 3 (6Gb/s). They can be configured for...

There is a 2 way Crossfire connector, a 2 way SLI bridge connector included in the package.
To help stabilize the massive GPUs available today when using the board on a bench, Gigabyte have included the OC Brace. Unfortunately my...
To the left of the CPU socket is a small heatsink for cooling the power circuitry. As you can see, it is fairly small, but even so it provides adequate cooling. This barely got warm in my testing.
To the right of the socket are the 4 RAM slots each capable of holding a 16Gb stick! So the...
Gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X
Today we have Gigabytes G1.Sniper A88X.
It is one of the new FM2+ motherboards recently released for the upcoming Kaveri based APUs from AMD. Unfortunately FM2+ based CPUs will not be released until early 2014 as of my latest information. No worries though...

The socket area feels very reminiscent of socket 1155 boards with plenty of space for even very large CPU coolers. And you wont need a new cooler if you have a socket 1155 compatible one. Finally Intel changed a socket without changing the heat sink mount spacing!
You will notice an...
Orange and Black ..It can only mean one thing if it has the name Gigabyte on it.

Continue down that right side of the board and we have 6 SATA3 connectors turned at 90 degrees. All ports are SATA 3 capable.
Below the SATA3 slots is something not often found on a motherboard at this price level, a diagnostic LED panel. This is extremely helpful in narrowing down possible...
