MSI K9A2 CF-F Platinum Motherboard

Anyone have any experience with this motherboard? Also, I heard about the video card hitting one of the heat pipes? Can anyone give me a heads up on that?

Forget the MSI, if you want a 790X board go for the GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-DS4. But you can get the DFI 790FX for about the same price.

I've got the board, and it's actually really nice. The layout is good, as is the chipset cooling. My HD3870 is really close to the heat pipe from the south bridge to the northbridge/mosfet coolers, but no harm done. Overclocking options are plenty, you can control voltage for cpu,mem, nb and hypertransport. You can manually set every memory timing, some of them, or put to auto. IMO it's a really good board, and the price is really good also. No issues with connectors, or anything really.
