A premium is one thing, but bloody Ģ250 or so for a board thats effectively the same as a board costing Ģ110 less just with a crapload of heatsinks? Thats bad Asus, very very bad Asus. Its not like the folk at Asus are that competent and chances are if your ever unfortunate enough to have to RMA to Asus what you send for RMA they will either A: lose, B: You will be waiting forever for it to come back, C: You will get the same damn thing back, D: You will get an RMA replacement back thats in worse condition than what you sent, E: A combination of all of the above.Originally Posted by B.E.E.F.
Wrong. Its a competitive market even at that price level. Only the ROG series are really differentiated from the competition. That's why they can charge a premium.
Its not just a motherboard. Its the ROG, so pay up.
Common marketing strategy. If ASUS didn't do this, they would not be around to make you that P5Q-Pro you enjoy. They would be crushed by the competition long ago.
But thank you for your work Ket. Its awesome to get more performance than I ever expected when I bought this board.
Your m1402 BIOS is great.
Horrendous things like that is exactly why Asus can't charge a premium as you get utter crap back that just barely works if you have to RMA.
