Questions about this item

How can I verify the Realtek ALC887 audio is active after assembly?

Boot into the OS, open the sound control panel and confirm the Realtek High Definition Audio device lists 7.1-channel output; play a test tone on each channel to ensure all speakers produce sound.

What ships with the board and which essentials must I source myself?

The parcel contains the motherboard, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield; you must supply a compatible LGA 1150 processor, up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory, a power supply with 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors, storage drives and a chassis.

The spec sheet shows two PCI Express x16 slots — one at x16 and one at x4 — which should hold my graphics card?

Install the graphics card in the top PCI Express x16 slot that operates at x16 electrical; the second x16-sized slot runs at x4 and is intended for additional expansion cards.
