I noticed something on the upper left side of your motherboard. It looks like an upgrade suggestion for your RAM. Make sure you're ready to proceed—don’t just power it up or connect anything yet. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Observing the board markings reveals its interest, since it appears to be the VRM TEST SW that was taken out after verification. It seems not a major concern, yet it’s intriguing they’d consider installing a switch to simply remove it prior to shipping.
