Hey all, most of this should be pretty straight forward but wanted to double check on what some of these items are on the board for my own clarification. I'm assuming that the black circular button directly under the top right screw mount is either the SafeBoot button or the Clear CMOS. Whichever it is not, I would guess the red circular button directly to the left of the reset button is the other Also assuming that the switch to the left of the USB 3.0 header is the Slow Mode switch but figured I'd ask to confirm. No idea what the white switch looking things are to the left of the 8pin EPS connections and to the right of the ProbeIt Connections. Are these even switches? No idea what the 6pin connection is directly above the top PCIE x16 slot. Thanks!

"No idea what the 6pin connection is directly above the top PCIE x16 slot." It is for extra power for the PCIe Lanes and reduced the load off of the 24-Pin Motherboard Connector. "ProbeIt Connections." Used with a Millimeter. Slow Mode switch

Thx for the reply. Was referring to the little 6pin connection that sorta looks like a fan header above the pcie slot. Not the 6pin connection on the bottom left of the board. I put a question mark on it in the attached screenshot

Used by EVGA Techs for Diagnostics of the Motherboard. I can see it now

Thanks! That answers everything except for the little white things to the left of the 8pin eps connections, unless that's what you were referring to about the probe it's.
One other thing I just noticed. The pcie disable switches have 5 switches but there are only 4 pcie slots on the board. I wonder what the 5th is for. Maybe the u.2 port?

The 5th could be the WiFi Slot but who knows. Yes That is what I am referring. Like what is shown here with the White Connector Better Image. Not sure what that Little White thing is other than a capacitor or coil of some type.

As others have noted, it's a diagnostic connector. In most cases, yes, our engineers would use something like this, but most end-users would not.
