Dang, that's a shame. Though from the side it looks like the SATA & USB3 ports are on a separate PCB that just attaches to the top of the VRM heatsink for rigidity (with the VRMs themselves mounted to the motherboard), but that still means you would need to remove those awkwardly placed screws/pushpins to take the daughterboard out. You might be able to run it with the daughterboard inserted but not secured for testing though, if you're careful about not dislodging it..
