I like ASUS

white Reviewed By: Nic on 2/6/2010

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: My build using this board was easy. Everything worked the first time. I've been running this board for just over 7 months now with no problems. This is my second ASUS board that I have ever used, and my experience with both have been great.
Cons: If you use the 1066 memory, you have to manually set the BIOS to make it work properly. I had to do a little reading to understand what settings I should use. I like to plug and play, so that was a little annoying.
Other Thoughts: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz processor
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066
Power Supply: XIGMATEK MC NRP-MC851 850W modular PS
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Green WD5000AADS 500GB
Operating System: XP Home
DVD Burner: Lite-On 24X Model: IHAS124-04

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I have nothing bad to say about the board. Fired up first time w/ Win7.
Cons: I knocked off 1 egg because the enclosed CD and utilities were not up to date (the loader identified the OS as MCE and wouldn't go any further) ASUS support refused to ship out an updated CD. OK, a minor anoience but for 180$ american they could afford a stamp.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: tons of features, and OCability...holds lots of RAM and 4gpu's
Cons: for the people having boot and lock up issues. i had probs also..no signal, or mode not supported on startup...also the fans just running full blast for minutes....the auto settings in your bios do not set right. my cpu and ram voltages were too high with auto on...i had to manually set cpu to 1.3125volts and my ram manually to 1.8 volts...no more boot issues
Other Thoughts: i do get display driver crashes with my 5770 with up to date drivers. i dunno if its the drivers or the mobo...kinda iffy about spending $ on a new mobo and not resolving the issue
