Thasp Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Asus isn't that bad usually.. my p5wdh cost $175 on newegg and took my e6400 to 3.6 GHz with prime stability. This $400 board is just stupid, but all Asus boards aren't necessarily made for retards. Several brands have their whacky prices now. DFI has its venus, and asus has this. If you really want to nitpick, at least their $400 motherboard doesn't come with a $0.25 northbridge fan that's barely acceptable on the $80 DFI model, much less the venus... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, I think everyone here agrees with you. I dont think a single bad thing about Asus. Used them for YEARS myself. Would I ever go back? hizzzelll no. Ill take my DFI board, my $8.95, replace my shotty DFI chipset fan with an evercool, and clock the heck out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
