Squeezing around two GFX cards and your SATA connectors to get to a jumper to clear the CMOS is usually a lot of hard work ;)

-->>> Intel therefore believes that PCIe 16x is unnecessary bandwidth. I can understand it if the PCIe is v2.0, but if v1.0, then basically, Intel is going back to AGP8x speeds. LOL. Full circle.
