It has to be from a custom PC you built!

 

I'm mainly just curious to see how long Motherboards CAN last if taken care of  :D

Enthoo Primo - ASUS Maximus Formula VII - 4790k 4.8ghz 1.28v - EK Supremacy Evo Clean - 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical - 1000w EVGA Supernova Gold - 2x Alphacool Monsta Rads in push/pull - 2x Galaxy 780 HoF with EK waterblock
 
Build Log http://imgur.com/a/UV6Wh Just want to warn everyone, my build log is pretty mediocre.

My oldest mobo's are old Dell OEM's from the early 2000's I never built my own custom gaming PC back than I just upgraded office computers xD. AGP 7800GT was a beast when I gamed on it. That and my ridiculous 2GB of RAM!

Lasting isn't the problem. Quality is. Asus is good brand in both quality and lifetime, old socket A from 2002 is still propably kicking. It was working when I sold it after 7 years of service. AsRock is propably gone for better since I got socket 939 board from them. That one is working nicely after 8 years. My old Abit is just crap to OC but works fine, after 6 years.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

I have a Gigabyte 8knxp with a P4 that's been running since 2003.  It's been used daily and often runs 24/7.  Never had any problems with it.

I still have a Pentium 4 PC, but it's off somewhere collecting dust and it's not custom made. But my Intel DQ35JO board that I got over 6 years ago worked about 1.5 years ago until a BIOS update that bricked it, many other people had the same issue with it. Was upgrading the CPU to a Q9400 quad core so I needed the BIOS update, anyhow I replaced the MOBO and currently using it as my HTPC since then. Quite a shame that board bricked, was running smoothly for the 1 year when I used it until I replaced it with my i7 920.
