    DFI switched the PCIe 1x and PCIe 16x slots, so it's possible to open the memory slots and add ram without having to touch the videocard. The CMOS clear button is placed in a rather odd way, making it quite hard to clear the CMOS without having to take out your VGA card.

    Insulation for extreme cooling units won't be that easy, as the socket area is quite filled.
