I would suggest that Linkboost set to disabled and PCI-e set to 100Mhz would be default BIOS options for most motherboard BIOS so I am not convinced how many reviews have been corrupted by this. It seems more like someone is excited to find this and other people are excited to beat nvidia with it

It should have been documented though as it can lead to instabilities if how the system works has changed.

NF780i shouldnt have linkboost on, since it uses a bridge and the actual PCI-Express works a lot higher to give more bandwith.

On NF680i at least EVGA the Linkboost is disabled at default, this has been for a long time, since bios 17 or 18, now they are in bios 31+.
