• This motherboard comes with multiple VGA output that features desktop extension on two monitors. You can connect two monitors to any two of the onboard VGA, DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort ports.

DVI-D can not be converted to output RGB signal to CRT and is not compatible with

DVI-I.

We strongly recommend that you connect USB 3.0 devices to USB 3.0 ports for faster and better performance for your USB 3.0 devices.

To play Blu-Ray Disc, make sure to use an HDCP compliance monitor.

Due to XCHI controller structure, please manually install your USB3.0 driver twice when installing the operating system from the USB3.0 optical drive.
