Generally the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H-WB WiFi has been very well thought regarding the layout. You will find everything that is practical and useful like for example reset/power/clear_cmos buttons as well as a BIOS switch, voltage reading points, a Debug LED Post Code display. Once more practical are also the angled SATA connectors and finally one legacy PCI slot which can still be very useful nowadays. Furthermore we found two PCI Express x1 slots below the first full size PCI Express slot. If you should think about an SLI or CrossFire setup the cards will be well ventilated. |
