I'll update more picture with the cooling next monday !
EDIT : i saw that every pics are differents :D regarding turbo button or not etc ^^
what's with the front panel connectors way over on the bottom left of the board? I'd rather have the FP connectors where they have the power/reset/etc buttons...
that's so many different boards...:yawn2:
Nice... I may seriously reconsider my vow to never buy another MSI board. Hits all the strong points, heatpipe assembly is large, but not obscene, great layout, nice colours. As long as the power circuits are solid under stress... can't see too much wrong with it. Screws instead of push-pins for the heatsink would have been a nice touch, but nothing we can't fix ourselves.
I just hope they don't pull an Asus and make that top PCI-Ex1 slot a sound-card only slot.
This is a very true, I've tried perfecting my cable management so many times, only to find out that I have to pull that one USB cable accross my motherboard. :shakes:Quote:

Look at the updated pics with the D-LED panel. They moved the power over to where you wanted.Quote:
