Yeah I was aware of the white listing of PCIe 3.0 for the later bios versions.
I wanted to ensure that the motherboard was working correctly and figured as long as I can downgrade the bios at a later date then it was worth trying (There is a thread that details the process to downgrade to older...

Cheers
OK I know where that setting is I will definitely try out that adjustment. I'm away right now so I wont be able to test it till next week.
