I was also pleased with the Board of the performance and handling ago, but now it had nevertheless sold.
The Reason:
- The Disastrous USB3.0 support
If the computer was running and I pocketed a USB3.0 flash drive or hard drive, it was a gamble whether the component has been recognized or not.
If it has not been recognized, always helped restart. But that can not be so ?! Chipset updates, NEC External USB3.0 driver and a BIOS update and downgrade did not help. Just as an active USB3.0 Hub. When USB3.0 HDD an even shorter cable (30cm) was used, but also did not help. You had almost always restart to get USB3.0 Support the computer.
Then I returned to the Board for complaint. It has also replaced without hesitation, I got a new one!
And .... the same problem! I had become even another USB3.0 hard drive ... everything has been of no avail. Meanwhile I had übrigesn found a forum where two other people have exactly the same problem !!! So probably a serial fault!
What I still classifies as a negative was the wrong fan speed in the BIOS and in the ASUS programs. He pointed to always unreal values. Also stupid I found the arrangement of the SATA slots in the far corner.
What still negative noticed: Sometimes it happened, ran delays the music or videos, when I wrote on the keyboard. Whenever I typed, the music videos odre "droning". Had this problem also a Board member of the board! Format through repeated, replacing the Tastaur and change the codec was the problem not to be solved last. By the way: the old and the replaced board too!
I sold the board and put me a GIGABYTE board to. Now I'm really happy! Same price and impeccable USB3.0 support in all situations. Even two SATA places more! And also write and listen to music at the same time going again without jerking.
OS was every time Windows XP SP3.
Since I am from ASUS really better used, there is of me, therefore only 2 stars.
