ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[devilhood]

Oh these is Interesting, I sent in a Techical Inquiry to asus Detailing all the bugs
like so.

1) Abnormal High temps on the CPU, Northbridge
2) Failed Posting sometimes
3) Motherboard will overvolt CPU and the CPU will not drop under 35C no matter what cooling or
voltage.
4) the 400mhz Memory strap is broken
5) Some other memory straps are broken
6) Motherboard doesn't like supply CPU voltage over 1.69
7) Motherboard demands too much voltage in general
8) Sometimes can not post with 2 sticks of Crucial Ballstix Tracer 2GB PC2-8500 installed
9) Slowly/Hardly Detects single IDE Hard-drive, its the only IDE device on that cable.
10) If stress testing and CPU is failing, The LCD Poster will blink for no reason.

and they told me to RMA it -_- some help they are.

It's terrible how they failed to acknowledge 'any' of the points you mention.
You only laid a handful of problems to them though... the randomly forced over voltage of the FSB Termination to 2.0v after a failed OC or BSOD is a particularly nasty one.

They should have said "RMA it to get the same model with the same problems,"

You should reply back to them and get them to realise that this is serious, unless by chance they managed to ship out an enormous batch of bad boards, which wouldn't bode well for them... but I don't see how that can be the case, it's definitely specifically related to poor BIOS coding imho.

The board itself is solid, they just didn't spend enough time perfecting the BIOS before release, which says a lot about their obviously flawed QA'ing department. Who the hell tests these boards before release? a bunch of lazy gits with no eyes.
