Pros: good board, ran fine for about 3 months, then started having some issues. tracked it back down to motherboard. and that is were nightmare begins to try and get a replacement.

Cons: board itself was good and solid

Overall Review: bios restting, cpu over heating, random freezed called 812-282-2787 on 2-22-2013 approx 1:30PM told me to get a refurbished motherboard, and noted send out replacement motherboard, and would send credit card info. noted to call back monday/tuesday, for RMA check to see if they have motherboard instock. and when call back goto "RMA status" number 1 prompt. ================= Called 2-25-2013 3:22pm to check on status No info / update still status of seeing if they have stock. Call back tomorrow. =============== Called 2-27-2013 3:36pm Noted nothing in there california office, and there checking 2 other inventory places 1 in indiana, and sales.

Guy noted they misspelled global of my email address wrong. Said I had to send email back today, due to stock was only reserved for 5 days. And I should have motherboard by wensday if I send info out by today. They said they sent email out to me, and I Asked what time they closed today, they said midnight, I asked how many hours til midnight for them they say 8 hours. My time it is 3pm. So they close 11pm my time. Will call back if idid not receive the email in next 15 minutes or so. ============= Called 3-4-2013 3:18pm Still wrong email, corrected the email, and received email within 10 seconds or so. Filled out PDF form. Needed a signature, so sent pdf to my mom, to have her print it out and fax back to asus. I went ahead and emailed form to asus without signature. Just to get things started.

G.SKILL FORTIS Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-2400C16Q-32GFT

Pros: -quick easy ram

Cons: -the metal foil / plating over each side of ram sticks to help heat dissapate, seams a bit off when applied (not straight)

Overall Review: -simple ram sticks, with air flow around them. -wished they would extend the cheap metal foil/plate higher above each ram stick to help dissipate heat. -the usual heat spreaders that wrap U shape around ram sticks not much of a fan for.

average

Pros: -it is a splitter power cable

Cons: -4 pin molex, like normal of this molex design, one of the 4 pins popped out, and had to take apart and put pin/wire back into the 4 pin molex connecter. -worse was 12v+ and not a ground :/
