1. cpu juice port
2. forgetful slots when powered off
3. motherboard juice port
4. short rectangle slot
5. long rectangle slot
6. old rectangle slot
7. heat dissipation square
8. fast 5 dimension accessory plug
9. old disk ports
10. some IC's that do stuff edit: chips that forget stuff when you remove their battery.
11. slow 5 dimension accessory plug
12. where the 200lb gorilla meets the machine

I concede. I can't name it any better.

Failure for proper naming, an "A" for proper description and bonus points for creativity. C+

My turn.

1.cpu socket
2.ram slits
3.power connector from power supply
4.pci Express 1x(I cheated, it says on the board and I looked)
5.pci ex16
6.pci port
7.gigabyte eye
8.

Ok, I stop, it says on the board most hard things.

Ok, 7 is the chipset ic with the HS on top.

9 is the SATA ports
10 is NOT chips that forget when you remove the battery, those are the BIOS/UEFI flash eeprom chips (Main & Backup), it's the CMOS ram and RTC (Real Time Clock) that needs the battery and they are in the chipset ic.

I ate and now have strength to continue.

...

8. USB 3.0 connector for front panel on the case
9. Sata ports
10. Bios chips, I actually remember what they look like from someone posting them in other thread
11. Regular usb connector for front panel on the case
12.pins for resenting bad overclocks or enabling higher oc voltages stuff
Oh missed 3. It's a small ATX connector.

9 is SATA ports not Satan
12 is the front panel header for the switchs and LED's

for what its worth... sata is old disk ports, its 2019 usbc and m.2 / pcie are new.

I was scrolling on phone up and dwn to see photo and type. Autocorrect took care of rest.
Wagex, I have SSD on sata btw. Crucial m4 128gb. Plenty of space! Always have like half empty

didn't say it was bad, just old.

Actually, on this board those are not standard sata rev3 6Gb/s ports but Sata Express slots capable of 10Gb/s just like the m.2 slots, to help prevent bottlenecks with the newer NAND ssd's.
1 x SATA Express connector (x5)
1 x SATA 6Gb/s connector (x6)
You're missing a number.
(M.2, SATA Express, and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time. The SATA3 4/5 connectors will become unavailable when an M.2 SSD is installed.) LAME as it has but a single m.2 slot, that being the fastest.
What's really sad is thinking this is a board with newer components. It's a DDR3 board pfhh. That mobo is retarded.

Ok, 1. I used this pic as an example for identifying the different components on a MB, and the components are the same for new and old MB's. I could have used any pic and I picked this 1, so live with it.
2. I did this because I see people referring to the BIOS/UEFI chip as the CMOS RTC chip.
Here is a little history of the CMOS ram and RTC chip,

The RTC was introduced to PC compatibles by the IBM PC/AT in 1984, which used a Motorola MC146818 RTC. Later, Dallas Semiconductor made compatible RTCs, which were often used in older personal computers, and are easily found on motherboards because of their distinctive black battery cap and silkscreened logo.

In newer systems, the RTC is integrated into the Southbridge chip.

Here is the names of each part.
1. CPU socket
2. Ram slots
3. Power
4. PCIe x1 slot(s)
5. PCIe x16 slot(s) (some MB's will also have x4 and x8 slots as well)
6. older PCI slot (if present)
7. Chipset
8. USB 3.0 header
9. SATA ports
10 BIOS/UEFI (this MB has 2, Main & Backup)
11. USB 2.0 headers
12. Front Panel header (for Power and Reset switch and LED's)

And yes I did leave out 2 or more items.

i...i think i got them all!!!

I knew it wasn't your personal board or anything I was just trying to point out the needless and arbitrary configuration of a high end board but which uses ddr3 with m.2 for 'gaming'. The manufacturers really play a game of carrot on a stick with consumers.

I.E. PCIe x4 Gen 4
