Mugen 2 fits well on MSI X58-E Pro. The first memory slot is blocked by the heatsink when mounted in direction where fins are alongside with the memory slots in case you have Dominator-like mems. Cannot say if regular size mems will fit. However, the starting slot where the memory should be installed is the second one on the mobo so there is no problem with installing 3x2GB Dominaotors at the moment.

I had only two small issues. First, the *thing* is just massive and I had to fix small mobo bending by attaching the heatsing to the top of the case.

Second, after replacing the mobo backplate, I tightened the cpu retention mechanism too much. Am I right the CPU retention mechanism should be somewhat loose before securing the CPU in place?
