Connectors and I/O

Totally Gigabyte equipped the G1.Sniper Z87 with six angled SATA ports. All of these six ports are directly wired to the PCH. This is enough for any office setup, gaming system or multimedia setup. Additionally Gigabyte equipped this board, with onboard power and reset buttons as well as a debug LED.



Totally there are four fan headers on the G1.Sniper Z87, which in our opinion is just about enough to provide a well equipped multimedia or gaming system with fresh air. The fan headers are located around the CPU socket as well as spread over the motherboard. Furthermore there are only 4-pin headers. If you're using fans with 4-pin connectors, you can adjust fan speeds via Easy Tune software.



Looking at the external connectors directly at the back-panel Gigabyte equipped the G1.Sniper Z87 with a P/S2 connector, two USB 2.0 ports (we recommend you to use these ports for mouse and keyboard), three USB 3.0 ports, where each of the USB ports got its own dedicated fuse, Killer E2200 LAN port, and as we said before a set of gold plated audio jacks, gold plated HDMI as well as DisplayPort, and a gold plated Optical S/PDIF out and USB DAC-UP.
