    I'm interested as well, had the same thing next to the GPU of my gt627, was always curious.

    Next time i'll have a look at the traces and see if I can glean any clues.

    EDIT: Just looking at that picture it has traces going to the bios chip, so my guess is MSI have a bios programmer that plugs in there, possibly works for the GPU too.
