It's a COM2 header for serial ports.

 

Also, brown PCB and electrolytic capacitor. Ewww :P

Your motherboard comes with a manual for a reason...

yes all my ASROCK/asus motherboards have brown pcb. i dont understand why they do it.

i understand why gigabyte uses blue - because they use 2 layer pcb and"urtla durtable"

I will only believe that if you provide proof that no mobo ever has the surrounding plastic. :P

So you're not running an X79 system? I had assumed so, being that you had no recollection of what was in your signature.
