Pros: Fast and stable as always
Cons: none
Pros: 800w for under 100 dollars
Cons: DOA
Overall Review: Re-certified? It says Reconditioned right on it. It also has stickers on it that say High-pot pass and test passed, too. Completely undamaged box, so I doubt shipping is why it is is D.O.A!! Guess I shouldn't assume anything, despite the pc works with a psu from one of my other riggs......
Pros: It keeps my 225 watt amd 9270 in the teens (celsius) or less on idle, and barely to the 30's gaming. I can't see any air cooled way to be better than what this one has done.
Cons: Too tall to fit in a side case fan, but so what.
Pros: It was cheap with what used to be a good quality name.
Cons: The heat sink is not solid. It's cheap with gaps between the heatsink and the heat pipes. It won't keep my new AMD FX-9370 Vishera cool under load very well at all. Return? I have had it less than a month and the manufacturer warrantee is already out of date.
Pros: None
Cons: DOA,
Overall Review: I have received this motherboard that has the same issues as other have stated in the reviews. I would not have thought that was ok, but after six Asus boards maybe I should shop at Staples and get some unclockable thing because at least that company is still available to answer to themselves.
Ripped off
Pros: NOT ONE
Cons: Looks great! Spent more for this board than any other in my life. Cons: ASP? Then why did asus drop the ball on reserving my replacement board without my credit information? This is my second doa board. I threw in an extra hundred bux to move up a notch in hopes of avoiding it again. That didn't work out either. Asus had me test it with'"can you run this?", As to see which games it will load and play. Not one game. The reason was operating system so the test states. I went from vista home 32, to 7 pro 64, to xp pro, then 7 ultimate 64 before asus would entertain an issue with a defective pci bus. I'm out all the cash for these os's I didn't already have to try, and months later they don't have a board for me. When I bought this with my 2600k, 3rd generation I7 wasn't out yet. Maybe I'll see something by the 4th generation that I might have been able to own for about as much as I spent for this. Other Thoughts: RMA# is X-USPT260933
Overall Review: I trusted that you received the deffective motherboard, as I was tracking it. I didn't save my tracking information after it was received. Someone loses it, and you won't do anything for me until I find the tracking information. You generated the shipping lable, but convieniently can not find anything. I'm out all this time, money, and now the cost of this $370.00 overpriced defect, because you lost it and I can't prove it? Consumer beware!
