Don't buy one. I got two in a row that are DOA. Totally dead. I thought the numerous reviews about bad ones were from whiners that didn't know what they were doing.....boy was I wrong. :mad:

That was just to make an email rig out of my i7 940......worst part is that the RMA board got to me one day after the 30 day time frame for the Newegg RMA. The RMA for the second board starts when you bought the first one. What a rip. I think that is total BS. Now I have to go through the Asus RMA process.....I can't F$!@$ing wait to see what that is like.

If your replacement with New Egg was for replacement they probably turned the RMA into repair after they issued the initial RMA. They did this to me with a P5Q deluxe. The just changed the serial number. I could see where the sub zero prep was exactly as I sent it back. I also went through this with my R2E and to be sure I did not get the same one back Imarked the back of the MOBO and sure enough they returned the bad board to me as a replacement.
After speaking with a manager the refunded my money in full for both boards and I purchased new ones.

I never even prepped that board. It was truely DOA. They may very well have sent me the same board back with a new serial number as it behaved exactly as the first one.....I sent an interesting email to them. As much money as I spend there they better reconsider what they are doing. I told them I wanted a refund for the second one and that I would buy a different board. Thanks for the info.

I must say after the huge thread over at XS I jumped on a M4A79 Deluxe for a ridiculously low $130 shipped from Garo.

Regrettign it though, as my $105 (AMIR) Foxconn A79A-S overclocked my 920 about 2-250MHz higher.
