Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This came with the rest of my parts, wired er up docked er in and bam. She went a blazing. Ran XP 64 bit until my win7 came in.

Cons: none rock solid and a beast

Other Thoughts: Me thinks some people have no clue what they are doing to get no post issues. Did they take the battery out for a watch.

No POST problems on TWO boards

Reviewed By: on 2/1/2010

Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Couldn't tell you would not even POST.
Newegg's RMA policies and exceptions.

Cons: Again, had similar issues as other customers with the "No POST" phenomenon.

Other Thoughts: Purchased as combo with AMD Phenom II X3 710. While troubleshooting I only had the mobo(s)/cpu/psu hooked up and still had the "no post" issue. Very disappointed as I used to not have to worry about ASUS boards and their quality.

Why was my comment removed??

Reviewed By: LabMonkey on 1/26/2010

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 4 PCI-e slots that can be used for SATA controllers. Onboard video which makes it excellent for a server project. BIOS very flexible and easy to adjust for USB booting.

Cons: The price, competition had it cheaper but was out of stock.

Other Thoughts: I posted a comment here before and found it was removed. Why? This board is being used in an unRAID server and works excellently. Was it because of the mentioning of unRAID that the comment was removed?
