Did this just now and nothing. Still shows as x8 in bios and gpu-z.

I tried to load defaults to no avail. I checked for sag but it's straight as an arrow. I repeated the cpu numerous times.

Also, there is nothing in the sata ports.

Well, I'm going to have to buy a new board because it's stuck at x8 no matter where I place my m2. Maybe there is a bios eating shopping it but I tried everything from pch configuration to x16. I think I'll save up for a hero because I can't rma this...
