Question 1

how many 4 pin fan connections does this motherboard have in board?

Accepted Answer

I see one 4-pin CPU fan connector, and two (2) 4-pin PWM case fan connectors

Question 2

The board manual and specifications claim that it supports a M.2 drive. But from pictures I do not see such connection on the board. Is it in the back? or am I missing something out here?

Accepted Answer

The M.2 Connection is on the bottom of the board.  I just built over 20 machines using this board and it's great.  I didn't run into any clearance issues either with the connection being located on the bottom.

You can look in the user manual on the asus website and should be able to see the connection there.

Good Luck
