for second compute you were thinking in7

Why are the compute lines that complex for just multiplying/dividing
with 1.68? Is this a workaround for floating-point precision issues?

I was also surprised that there was no 12V listed in the BIOS! This
especially as the board has standard ATX connector and also has at
least FANs to feed with 12V (and probably also PCI and PCI-Express)

I will try to get that info from IEI though their account system does
not seem to work very well (or I'm not using the right browser for it)
Alternatively I can try to get the info through the reseller through
whom I got the mainboard.
