Posted January 22, 2016 Well i'm having a hard time with PC's right now, way back in the day with the beginning of AM3 and the Dragon Platform i went for ASUS, 2 damn boards with different chipsets and neither worked, both had to be sent back, then i bought a Foxconn board, it was crap but at l;east my PC worked. MSI brought out the 890FX-GD70 teh successor to the 790FX-GD70 and i got it, it was amazing for OC's and all that, it died 4 months ago and took my 7770 and 4GB Black Dragon ram kit with it. This Gigabyte 990FXA board tonight has had the right RAM slot go bad, i am now not in dual channel mode as it fails to work with RAM occupying the 2nd slot, so now it is 1/3 configured.

Posted January 22, 2016 If you buy asus boards, no. It's asus man they are crazy Haha, asus is not magic, all parts can fail Just a bad board, if you can rma then do so, other wise idk, usually for me the ram is the issue, I always have issues with ram sticks being picky, but if the ram works else where you are likely right that the board is trash https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ Tier Breakdown (My understanding)--1 Godly, 2 Great, 3 Good, 4 Average, 5 Meh, 6 Bad, 7 Awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 22, 2016 Nippon Banzai Bought an Asus P5B motherboard for the equivalent of $4 out of a "Broken" bin in the backstreets of the Akihabara district in Tokyo. Took it home, fired it up with a 775 CPU and it worked fine. It's great. It gives me a kind of... *sniffle* solemn respect for that motherboard... It sat in its box, waiting to be bought, but was kept in a box as excess stock for years and years until it was placed in a plastic crate to be sold for pocket money, its CMOS battery ticking the clock away... like a loyal sentinel silently and patiently awaiting the return of its lord... I could have bought six of the damn things for half the cost of ONE measly G41 motherboard in the US... I should have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 22, 2016 I've hard hard drives and power supplies die on me, nothing else. I've had a mobo DOA, but I don't considered that dying, more like stillborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
