I have 2 of these sadly
Pros: How can a product that doesn't work as advertised have any pros. IT DOESN'T WORK!
Cons: Manufacture being the biggest con. Asus will not help you with this product guys. They do not care about you and they just want your $. I have 2 of these boards with the same problems. If I add anything over 12gbs of memory the computer will not load windows. I get a pixelated screen or BSOD's Ive tried 3 different memory kits (from the compatible list) 2 different processors 3 different video cards 2 different hard drives cleared the cmos multiple times build the computer outside the case bought a 2nd system board and have the same exact problems updated the bios on one, didn't update it on the other. no difference Ive tried server 2008 r2, windows 7 64, and windows 8 64 Ive been able to install windows on 1 stick of ram and install all drivers the most recent drivers, BSOD when putting memory back in. Chat support does not help and usually before I am even done explaining my issue I am disconnected. They did take one of the boards for over a month and sent it back without doing anything. Newegg refused to return or replace either after 30 days (30 days spent trying to get the product to work as advertised).
Overall Review: Thanks Asus and Newegg. Now my company is out $1200 and our new videographer does not have a functional computer. I am done buying Asus for the rest of my life and will spend the rest of my IT career telling others how terrible their products and support can be.
