ASUS X79-DELUXE LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard

Pros: So far, so good. I've owned it a week, and it does everything I expect it to.

Cons: Asus customer support.

Overall Review: I really like Asus products, especially their motherboards. They work well and usually for a long time. However a recent problem with a Sabertooth X79 motherboard (which this board is replacing) left me very disappointed with the way Asus treats their customers after the sale. It took over a half a day on the phone with a service rep and working at my computer to finally get an RMA for a faulty motherboard. Reinstalling drivers and checking hardware connections is a reasonable request. Asking a customer to reinstall a windows OS is more than a little over the top. Moreover, after buying this Asus motherboard to use while the faulty one is being repaired, I tried to register it at http://www.asus.com/support/product/aprp/?lang=1033. I filled in the S/N, purchase date, email address, and entered a password. The field below the password is grayed-out and blank. When I attempted to submit the information, I was informed that the country could not be blank. Though the form did not indicate that the country should be entered in the blank field, I attempted to do so. I was unable to enter anything, hence I am unable to register my new motherboard. Is this an attempt by Asus to prevent product registration and consequently not have to honor warranties? Between the experience with customer service in trying to get an RMA, and the failed attempt to register with Asus's non-functional WEB site, it appears that your customer care is close to non-existent. I hope it can be fixed.

Pros: Product has been completely stable for me as a daily driver with i7 4930k @ 4200 MHz. Has run @ 4800 MHz for extended mkv transcodes also but exceeds 70c so I keep it at 4200.

Cons: Autoplay on USB 3 seems a little flaky but not serious.

Overall Review: Bought the day it became available Zero serious issues. Saw some negative reviews and wanted to provide my experiences.

Pros: Review for ASUS X79-DELUXE LGA 2011 motherboard and I can't think of any pro other than ASUS was previously a name of the manufacturer of good motherboards.

Cons: Note no specifications listed. Not sold by Newegg. This motherboard formerly had many bad reviews. Now sold by other seller, no reviews. Why dump the other Newegg customer reviews. Impossible to get replacement from ASUS during Warrant Period. Failed after one year. Prev. 3 yr. Manufacturer was near impossible to reach and I still have not gotten repair or replacement.

Overall Review: There were previously many bad Newegg reviews for this terrible motherboard with many 1 and 2 egg reviews. Now Newegg sells only through 3rd party. Note the 30 day warranty and impossible to find if there is any claimed ASUS warranty. I've called ASUS support 3 consecutive days and each day had to leave my phone number and wait for promised tech support that NEVER came! I haven't seen any good news about a replacement for these recently defective boards. Don't know if ASUS will ever recover or not. I would NEVER buy this board even though $100+ lowering of price. Bad board and no support, is not worth any dollars in my opinion. I have built many computers with previously reliable boards, but don't buy unless you study the reviews from CUSTOMERS carefully. The tout many awards, but trust only the reviews of those who have built computers and used them. Send you complaints to ASUS and Newegg to help other Newegg customers avoid bad products.
