PCI-E CEASEFIRE
For hardcore overclockers and gamers, the BIG BANG MARSHAL (B3) has ad-
opted a very user friendly design for enabling and disabling a particular PCI-
E slot. With this feature, users no longer have to physically insert or remove
graphics cards. When the system is shutdown, a simple flip of a switch can
turn a PCI-E slot on or off.
When you install complex cooling
systems on graphics cards, remov-
ing the graphics cards can become
troublesome. PCI-E CeaseFire are
switches allow you to conveniently
and directly disable the PCI-E slots.
