The panel now has as many as three “ground” connectors, so you can use up to three voltmeters simultaneously to keep track of three voltages. Coupled with the included set of cables, the V-Check Points 2 panel lets you easily monitor main voltages with a voltmeter. We can also find the so-called OC Essentials which are meant to aid you in your overclocking endeavors. Two of them are meant for a CPU cooler, but they can’t regulate 3-pin fans.

We can count up five 4-pin fan connectors in the mainboard’s schematic. The separating line and the Audio Boost logo are highlighted but you can turn the highlighting off in the BIOS. The audio subsystem area is isolated from the rest of the mainboard components to minimize interference. The latter also encompasses an advanced 8-channel audio codec Realtek ALC1150 (SNR = 115 dB), dual 600-Ohm headphone amplifier, and premium capacitors. The back-panel audio connectors are gold-plated, which is a visual sign of the MSI Audio Boost technology.
