I would like to see a robot hand try and plug in a MCIO or OcuLink connector to its MB port because even my fat fingers have trouble seating them in correctly.
you know that pick and place robots are used to put and solder the components onto the board that you're trying to plug the OcuLink connector to, right?
Do you not have enough supports/standoffs on your mobo? Just because your case comes with 6 doesn't mean you only need 6.
