My p6x58d premium is a great board and I love the quality. However, I originally had an MSI x58 Pro, the difference in features that I'm interested in may sound goofy and dumb but if someone could help I'd appreciate it. Notice in the two pics that the bottom PCIe 2.0 slot is higher on the MSI(brown) than the ASUS(black and blue). It seems that when Asus built this board they were half asleep. When using 3 cards that are 2 slots thick the bottom slot doesnt allow the bottom card to fit correctly as I have posted in a previous issue. When the bottom GPU is inserted the two tabs on the end of it don't line up with the notchs in the case or the rear ports for ventilation. I wan't to buy another board, preferably a pretty high quality one that is configured more like the MSI board. If you can make suggestions that would work I'd really appreciate it! There is so much diversity and knowlege here that I feel someone knows of something and will have an answer for me before I can brows google pics ;). The cost of the board doesn't matter either I can afford what ever and want a successful replacement fast. Thanks all, sorry for the essay.

The pics are in my myspace page, it didn't like me linking to them so go in the Motherboards album to check it out. Let me know if you run in to any problems ASAP so I can get it fixed for ya. Also thanks for taking the time to look at this post.
