Nah man. DFI policy on RMA is the suck. Asus will take back a board for three years and replace it. DFI gives you 90 days to exchange then only offers to repair it. That's hardly a decent policy IMO.Hey, Warren
I don't want a God Damn Repair I want a New board. How the hell are they gonna repair it? They'll just waste my time and send it back and say there was nothing wrong..total BS.
So I just live with it.
I got that word from MotherBoardPro...and me a "reseller" too... so much for special favors...
It works...just resets once in a while. And since I am running a single drive the RAID issue is a non issue.
If I do build it back up to run at the benches it will be a suicide run...
I have been running my boards 24/7 100% load for YEARS. I've been Folding since 2005 and before that ran SETI. This is the first board I've owned that resets at stock speed. I know you love you some DFI but call a spade a spade man...My P5K Deluxe is functioning flawlessly 24/7 100% load 3.6 ghz for almost a year now.
In fact I have never had an issue with Asus. But I have always found the DFI boards to be twitchy. They are great performers and balls of fun to OC...but not what I would reccomend for ultimate stability in an OCed desktop PC.
