There are the usual PCIe slots consisting of one grey PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16, one PCIe 3.0/2.0 at x4 and two PCIe 3.0/2.0 x1, though only supporting AMD CrossFireX and not Nvidia SLi graphics configurations.

The back panel consist of the usual keyboard and mouse PS/2 ports, a LAN port, the usual display ports, though not actual DisplayPort monitor output and some USB ports. These include one Type-C USB port( support 3A power output ), as is the norm these days, but still good to see.

It's hard to see why Asus would call this a flagship micro-ATX motherboard, it just doesn't have the prestige or the package. We would have also thought that a flagship motherboard would have both SLi and CrossFireX support. So we are not sure on the whole flagship front, but we do like this little gem a lot. It doesn't throw any heavyweight punches, or come with amazing accessories, it's just arrives ready to go and performs really well.
