Devices still draw current when being turned off in BIOS

I'm going to build a CMP machine for another friend so I bought him a H55M-S2H for my experiment. I removed everything around the sound and network Chip, including regulators and transistors. See photo.



Current Consumption decreased by about 0.1A after such removal. Capacitor leakage current should also be taken into account. The 5V is now drawing 2.25A @96K. Sound quality slightly improved.

I can go on to remove the Jmicron IDE controller but I'd better stop here as this MB belong to my friend.
