1 out of 5 stars Too many bad reviews on other sites too!   December 15, 2008
Buy EVGA, ASUS has too many problems with all their Nvidia chipset boards. SLI Club has alot of input about this! Best now to get the EVGA Nvidia 780i SLI A-1 FTW MoBo, excelent reviews and issue with 45nm is resolved, overclocks well above advertised!


5 out of 5 stars Very good board   October 1, 2008

2 out of 5 stars Flash the BIOS at your own risk!!   August 26, 2008
Pros: Stable motherboard when it worked. Does not overheat.

Cons: Expensive. Must have been released in a hurry without adequate testing. I bought this based on my past experiences with ASUS motherboards and this by far has been my worst experience with any motherboard ever! It burned my $600 7.1 speaker system because of its incompatibility with creative Xfi sound card. I had to buy a new card just because they refused to fix the bug, not because my old one is not working! Then one of my network ports gave up and soon I started to have RAID driver problems so I decided to flash the BIOS. The BIOS flashed successfully, or so it said, and on restarting the system, POOF! My screen went black and that was it. I called Tech support and they said they were too busy and to leave my contact so they can call me back in 2hrs. They must be running on Jupiter time because its been a week and nobody has called back. I had this thing for a year and that was one of my worst years ever! Now I am stuck with RAID drives that need to be rebuilt and my fear is I might never be able to rebuild them since their RAID drivers are unique. DONT BUY THIS JUNK! unless you absolutely dont have a choice. My 2 cents.



1 out of 5 stars worst Asus motherboard I ever bought, and also the most expensive :-(   December 31, 2007

I went thru 4 Asus striker Extreme boards before finding one that would post normally, and that is with ZERO OVERCLOCKING. I don't know what the design flaws of this motherboard are, but there is a lot of 'variety' between boards... You are lucky of you get one that operates to spec. even my fourth try at this board will not overclock to any significant degree. I've burned almost a full year dealing with this motheboard in a cost no object system and this motherboard is the first one to cause me so much grief... I've never dealt with a board this bad... I really bit it with this motherboard and an just happy it boots at this point.

This product is replacing an EVGA 680i that I had to RMA because it stopped working.

This ASUS board has given me no problems and I have been using it since September!

Yes with the EVGA board you might be able to OC a bit higher, but I prefer the heat pipe solution on the ASUS these 680i boards have to be kept COOL, especially the Mosfet Areas!

Highly Recommended, and it is not only me that recommends it, but also HP is using it on their new BlackBird 002 Gaming PC's!
