Input:
Question: Does this always come in as open-box form? I am worried because I got two of them and they were open-box.. Isn't it that the open-box product used?
Document: They are receiving power, because the underglow lights on the ram are on, but the activity lights never began to run. I swapped out the sticks and rearranged them and got the same result. The two on the right never posted or showed up in the bios!
one of the worse! comes with open packaging, and only two of the ram slots work!!!!!!!!! Can somebody explain about the Ram?
Could not get this to post at all. It had power, and the lights on the board were all illuminated, but would not start. I checked everything, re-seated everything and nothing. I sent it back and got a Sabertooth, and it works perfectly. I love Asus, and this was the first faulty board I've received from them after over 20 mobos.
I bought this board because I wanted the quality of ROG, but I never intend to run more than two GPU PCB's.Pros:- Fantastic UEFI and overclocking options.- Good Mobo component cooling.- Looks good.- Really good onboard sound.
I wanted a gamer oriented motherboard that could handle the latest intel cpu's. I bought two: one for my son's computer and one for mine. The board fit nicely in both cases. The bios is very well laid out and has all the controls and flexibility you would want to over clock your computer. I installed intel 3820 processors in both systems along with 16gb of ram from corsair.
The support is very rude, and terminated the live chat.I am still waiting for the returning of the board, return to the seller and plan to buy other brand names. I admit that Asus produced good products in the past ( I used for 23 years), but the support now is not acceptable.Any idea about the board's compatibility with Intel Intel i7-4820K LGA 2011 64 Technology Extended Memory CPU Processors BX80633I74820K
ive went two of these boards before finally upgrading to the extreme. this board worked well before it died and gave me the 9a error
Not a bad motherboard but I am confused as to why gaming use motherboard manufacturers insist on putting the only PCI express port directly under the primary video card slot where they cannot be used with modern double high graphics cards.... initial installation had windows showing a LOT of unidentified system devices on the device manager under the control panel after 3 weeks of researching the issue ASUS released a new set of motherboard driver installation programs which finally ended up identifying and installing drivers for the 23 previously unidentified items.
The rest of the system is cool running, and it's always fairly cool once not overclocked, so keep that in mind.This board can easily hold 2x SLI or crossfire and still have a slot in the middle for a soundcard or something, but in that case you'll be doing a 16x/8x PCIE 3.0 for your SLI, which probably isn't bad unless you have very potent cards that might saturate the bus.
Since I am not over clocking the ram or the CPU this worked out ok. In general I am very pleased with my purchase and how it worked out.
Answer: Mine was not sealed in any way, but I could tell by the pristine condition it certainly was not used.
