MSI 890FXA-GD65 reviews????? **UPDATE** board installed

[newls1]

Just a reply to my thread here, cause there is no need to start another thread I just installed my Scythe Mugan2 revB cooler and now am @ 4.03GHz @ 1.385v / CPU-NB 1.20v / 7-8-7-24 1t DDR3 1568 1.42vDimm / NB 1.22v / PCIe @ 103MHz

This board seems great so far.. Im very impressed for a 140$ board. I was very limited on my Prior OC as I was using the stock cooler, but this new air cooler is excellent Will increase more later on...

Also with the NB @ 2860MHz, the PC seems rather responsive

I dont have a pic, but in the above pic and that guy saying there should be a "HOLE" where the blue circle is.......THERE Is NO HOLE... AM3 socket, not AM3+

D'oh. Oh well. Still odd though.

Let us know if the board does some fireworks, if so, take pics.

There will be no "SPARKS" this board is solid Hell, the VRM heatsink doesnt even get warm.... And for the record, I have a 120mm yateloon SH fan over NB, and VRM heatsink

Can you please do me one last favor ?

MSI uploaded the manual now:

They mention that there was a December version, before the current, January, one.
I guess you have the old December version. If you have some time, please compare the specification page 1-2 / 1-3.
Maybe the changes will give us some hints ;-)

Thanks
