Oh, I was going to add: When you get your P8Z77-V LE Plus, I guess it 
would be a good idea to set the different options for that "PCI Express 
X16_3 Slot (Black) bandwidth" option in the vendor firmware setup menu 
and then dump the IFD to see if it's actually changing any soft straps. 
It would also be good to collect register dumps from tools like 
inteltool (especially the RCBA registers) and lspci to see if there's 
anything else that's changing.

Cheers,
Nicholas
