Shame on MSI
If you are looking into making a Nehalem system, this isn't a bad board. It's far and away faster than my Core 2 Quad system.

OK board but IOH is very hot - design issue?
The board is ok once you get it right. I bought it because it was much cheaper than the others and I thought that most X58 boards should be similar in performance for someone who doesnt overclock.

Terrible
[...] after buying this product, the box looked great and exciting, after opening it it got better but then the heat problem was very true, did exactly what he said as described, worked like a charm, but then noticed my memory modules was not seeing full 6 gigs, only 4 but after installing the HDD it would constantly crash blue always in the form of a memory crash, so i took all memory sticks out and only kept one in of course, ran through windows vista fine but after loading to vistas desktop got numerous errors from memory module still, after hours of figuring the motherboard out, turned out to be a defeat in the modules itself, in the middle of a RMA of this product, for anyone who is looking for a 3way sli, skip this board, this is by far the worst board i have ever worked with.
