MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI video card seating issue?

Has anyone with the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo had problems with seating two PCI-e video cards like dual 6800GT's? The reason I ask is because the review at HARDOCP said that the chipset cooler is a bit tall and may give you seating issues with the second PCI-e X16 slot. Here is what the review said:

The biggest issue with the board is the height and proximity of the chipset cooler to the secondary PCI-Express x16 slot. Therefore, you may have issues fully seating a card with a large PCB in the secondary slot due to the height of the chipset cooler.

This seems like a huge problem. Have any of you had this problem?

To date, this hasn't been an issue. I would imagine that you would have heard about not being able to utilize the second pci-e port for Sli on MSI's flagship Sli board at about every hardware site on the net if that were truely the case. 😉
