Hello I need some help with my motherboard. I want to be able to know everything about it including the internal connectors.

Could anyone please tell me,

What is the name given to the internal connectors?
What might the internal connectors connect too?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H...?

A1 and A2 are probably RAM sockets.
F I believe is a speaker or microphone.
No clue what B, C or E is... B could be a PCI slot though having only one is unusual.
D1 and D2 look like HDD/SSD connectors.

Anyone have any idea what C is???

Thankyou for all the help everyone.
Click to expand...

its a bit late but

A1 = PCI Express X16 (used for G-Card)

A2 = PCI Express X16 slot running in X4 (raid cards and PCI-E SSD's) (can still be used for G-Card in the case of CF or sli)

B = PCI (not express)

C = PCI Express X1 (used for small expansion cards like audio or hubs)

D1 = GSata 3 (6GB/s) (dark grey is usually for built in (motherboard brand in this case gigabyte) sata(raid) controller on those two ports) (used for HDD/SSD/DVD drives is also backwards compatible with sata 2)

D2 = (regular) Sata 3 (6GB/s) (same as a above just on a different sata controller.

E = PCI Express Mini slot generally used for MSata

F = 4 Pin PWM CPU Fan header.(powers/enables Bios control of a PWM fan connected to it.)
