SuomeksiGigabyte - The board
The layout of the board is very nice, with all the connectors placed on the edges of the board, except for the front panel audio pins, which are oddly enough placed right behind the rear panel audio connectors. The components around the CPU-socket are very low, but unfortunately the memory slots are very close to it.
The card slots are also nicely arranged, even with two dual-slot graphic cards there are still connectors available for a single PCI-card and two PCI-e x1-connectors. Also the top-most PCI-e x16-connector is far enough from the memory slots not to be on the way when swapping memory sticks. That's all the most common pot-holes of motherboard design avoided.
Moving on to the connectors, there are obviously the connectors of the built-in graphics: DVI, HDMI and D-SUB. Other than that there are connectors for the analog 7.1 audio, optical output, firewire, LAN, a combined PS/2 connector for either mouse or keyboard, and also six USBs, two of which also support USB3.The only thing missing from the rear panel is e-SATA.
If the rear connectors aren't enough, there are still plenty of expansion sockets left on the board. To be precise, that's a total of eight USB 2.0-connectors, two firewires, and even a single COM-port. As for the internal expansion, there are six S-ATA 3 ports, two S-ATA 2 connectors and the rather obsolete IDE- and FDD-connector. For the cooling needs there are two four-pin PWM-fan connectors and also two three-pin connectors.
The 890GX + SB850 combination still lacks native USB3 support,so there's the same NEC controller chip that can be found from just about all USB3 devices made so far.
