Biostar Racing Z170GT7 hands-on pics

Got this from Back2Gaming's Biostar giveaway contest. It's probably not available yet locally so I thought I could post some hands-on pics. My apologies for the pic quality, phone cam only.

I/O


TOP


SOUTHBRIDGE (R logo will light up btw)


DUAL BIOS SWITCH


M2 SLOT


A TOTAL OF 9 SATA PORTS


DEBUG LED


"GT TOUCH" ECO MODE if you want to conserve power, SPORT MODE for instant overclocking.


LN2 SWITCH for LIQUID NITRO OVERCLOCKING


4 DDR4 DIMM SLOTS up to 3200mhz (OC)


Hi-Fi AUDIO CAPACITORS


4 PCI-E X16 SLOTS and 3 PCI-E X1 SLOTS


LED STRIP w/c can be connected directly to the board and configured w/ different lighting sequences via software provided by BIOSTAR


I/O ARMOR SHROUD (metal not plastic)


MOSFET HEATSINKS (the white area lights up in sync to the provided LED strip). BIOSTAR did not indicate how many power phases the board has but I could count 8 chokes or 9 if we'll include that lone choke at the bottom and 2 on the mem module so I guess it's 8+2 or 9+2 not really sure.e


So far, the board is top notch both in feature and quality considering its srp which is around $130. I can't test it yet as I don't have the necessary parts but maybe in the future I could post an update how the led system (VIVID LED DJ as they call it) works, overclocking etc. That's all for now guys! Cheers!
