My build for the future

[[TiG]Lucutus]

your one of the lucky ones generally pieces of shite

other way round in my experience.  ASUS boards are generally great for overclocking features and stability.  Like any manufacturer, they've had ups and downs, but they continue to roll out good quality hardware for the enthusiasts like us.

I think fr0do and nietschean both have ASUS mobo's and they keep saying nothing but bad things. REally just seems to be luck of the draw...

Suppose the same can be said for all things really.

Not the case I wanted but everything else is pretty spot on.  Nearly at my ?600 budget.  The CPU and Mobo are pretty good spec so should allow for a slight OC.

My Asus striker extreme has had a lot of bad press, but it works like a dream for me.

These kids don't know how to overclock and fuck the boards up as a result. They then moan that the board is shite.

But yes, sometimes there might be a dodgy bios.

[[GiT]Kel]

same cpu, mobo and gfx card as me Abe  :?:

Not had a chance to use it yet tho!
