heavy duty
Pros: works as advertised. very sturdy. great value.
Cons: none
Asus doesn't honor their warranty
Pros: Worked great for the first 4 months.
Cons: After the first 4 months stopped posting and gave me an error tone indicating there was no memory in the board. Tested memory in another mobo, worked fine. Tried other memory in this mobo, same tones. I RMA'd the motherboard and just received an email saying the couldn't do anything because it was received with trace damage. After I built this computer it stayed in its case and wasn't moved for the entire 4 months. This has been the only problem i have ever had with the board and the case was not even opened until this happened. Obviously this "trace damage" is what is causing my problems. They sent me a picture of the damage which appears to be a toasted circuit going to the DDR3 sockets. Hmmm how could I have done this without opening OR moving the case.....So please beware when buying ASUS products that they don't honor their warranty.
Overall Review: I tried calling and appealing the issue but was told that they couldn't help me. I guess i'm out $150 and ASUS is out a customer.
waste of time
Pros: none
Cons: Ordered 2, two DOA. Need I say more?
Pros: Got here quick
Cons: Bought 2. Neither one ever worked. Bios wouldn't recognize. Tried two different drives and two different computers, no luck.
