November 28, 200817 yr Heatsink is not designed for Socket 1366 unless they provide some kind of conversion for it.You may have to wait on that one... I understand ThermalTake and other HSF manufactures are getting 1366 product to retailers but it may be another week before it gets posted
December 1, 200817 yr MSI does not make enthusiast-quality motherboards, and $200+ is an enthusiast-level price so you should change that to another brand such as Asus or Gigabyte.I have used several MSI boards personally over the years and serviced systems which used them far more. MSI hasn't made a true enthusiast motherboard since the Neo 2 Platinum (Nforce 3 chipset).
