Mystery wire sticking out of PCI-E slot. Weird..

When I was reinstalling my Opteron after a fun adventure that I outlined here..

I noticed a mystery conductor sticking out of the pci-express slot. Thankfully the slot appears fully functional, but I thought this was weird to say the least. Anyone else seen something like this before?

I assume it's just the end of the slot conductor that became dislodged from the plastic housing.

    wow, you're in luck. That's one of them PCI-e alignment wires. It helps to align the rotational transfunctioning resistors to maintain proper voltage and reduce cross-talk from over-amperage due to induction current.

    What he means to say is that your motherboard can produce 1.21 jigawatts, McFly.

    Just need to find the flux-capacitor pin-outs. Hope I dont confuse them for the USB headers again..

    That's great and all... but do you think his CPU fan can get up to 88 MPH? :)
