    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.

    Why doesn't some motherboard manufacturer sit down with a bunch of people from the forum and make a list of all the things that should be included and make damn sure that every one of the points is included.

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