Running me_cleaner with -S (Removing ME modules where possible and HAP bit) leaves the board fully functional, however the TPM functionality is lost, and is stuck in 'SUPPORT TURNED OFF' in the BIOS.
Also, removing the CMOS battery causes a reboot loop which is only fixable by a reflash? Bit odd.
Tested on latest beta BIOS 3503 (Which is stable bios + spectre/meltdown patches)
