Asus Motherboards

[jastheace]

WEll as you all know, i have been having techinical issues with the Asus M3N78-EH Motherboard, it turns out that Asus M3N78_eh does not support the Phenom X4 9850. and this was causing the issues with the motherboard. It seems that Asus has only just found out and notified the resellers.


So if you are looking at buying the latest AMD processors, or even the intel ones, make sure you fully reaserch the motherboard and proccessor compatabliities, i did but even then it did not help, and even then you might gat a shock later on. i am currently trying to get my money back on the two motherboards, needless to say i am having an uphill battle. I have since been told to avoid anything with a nvidea chipset as these will not work without issues with the newer AMD Processors. on the plus side i have just brought a Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6 motherboard, and this is one of the best you can get apparently, so it will be intresting to see how well FS performs with this new board, as i was getting very inconsistant performance with the Asus board.

its funny you mention that, i brought the Asus on alot of excellent recommendations from people i know, and yet it seems that they have dropped the ball on this one, Asus said they didn't have enought time to test all processors before releasing the board,m well thats what the tech said anyway

HHHmmm sound like they are having the same problems as alphasim and should have put off the release to the customers ,taking short cuts will always end up costing you in the end ...

update, got my money back, even though i did not return the m/b's in the box they came in, then got the new mother board and a 600watt thermal take powersupply, man what a difference, i have reinstalled vista, and i am still getting 20fps over seattle with autogen on dense in the glass cockpit baron, to say i am impressed is an understatement.
