List Price: $ 480.00
Price:
Seems to be a good Motherboard.,
Bought from Amazon.
~~ITEM~~
ASUS Pros:
==========
An abundance of features.
OC Key is a nice addition.
Best rated LGA2011 motherboard out the (March 2012).
Works, seems stable on stock speeds (so far).
ROG part of website helpful.
ASUS Cons:
==========
Inconsistent build quality.
Poor packaging (hard to tell if box has been previously opened, some people report having some contents packed in bags other don’t).
Dirty fingerprint on the Debug LEDs (Amazon told me it was “new”).
Non-ROG part of website and customer service VERY slow!
~~DEALER~~
Amazon Pros:
============
Delivered quickly via Amazon Prime.
Trust Amazon to fix any issue should I have a faulty product.
Amazon Cons:
============
Poorly packaged, considering price and fragility.
Paid $451 for this item then noticed that I could report lower prices to help keep Amazon competitive – reported that Newegg was selling for $439 and supplied the link, about an hour later Amazon lowered their price. I ask if they’d refund the difference but told I would have to return item and re-order.. hence no real point in helping keep Amazon competitive.

|Excellent product,
This has to be one of the most feature packed motherboards I’ve ever encountered. The ROG OC Key is great to monitor system settings with the system. Also the iROG app lets you view the status of your system using an iPad, ipod, or Droid. I had trouble with the iPad app, so I’m sticking to the android version. The start and reset buttons on the motherboard make quick work of troubleshooting, plus the diagnostic LEDs take the guesswork out of pinpointing problem spots. This board overclocks like a dream a gives you plenty of adjustment options. There are too many good things to say about this board; the only negative points would be that NVidia is not enabling PCI 3.0 support of the GTX 680 on X79 boards yet, although this board has support. I suppose that is NVidia’s fault, but disheartening nonetheless. Also the price point was a little higher than I would expect for this type of board, but you get what you pay for.

|Extreme yes, outrage,
Willing to build a new PC, ordered all new parts from top vendors and opted for this Motherboard. I think I really made the wrong choice.
It is actually a nightmare to install, fan error alerts, all kind of crazy BIOS errors, weirdo codes in its main led without any explanation of what the error codes mean. The user manual is useless no index, and no detailed explanation on how to install the system. I bumped into an installation issue and could not figure out what was wrong. Many cheaper Motherboards help you troubleshoot issues quickly, but not this one. Here you have to figure it all out by yourself.
Physically the motherboard is too small, for the market segment is trying to target, imaging buying a Corsair 800D, this Motherboard is too small. Think about trying to fit Noctua nh-d14 in here, a royal nightmare. Not to mention it has one of the weirdest patterns for installing memory modules, and if you don’t follow this pattern then your are on your own with “incompatibility issues”.
I called their support and it is very bad, they are totally uninterested to help you. They don’t really focus on your issue but rather try to get rid of you asap. At the end they blame all the other components for any of the issues.
I should have researched this company before buying from them. It is now too late for me, but maybe not for you.
Do yourself a favor and buy from a company that will stand behind its products and customers like EVGA, I should have gotten my Motherboard with them 🙁

We apologize for the issues you had with the motherboard.
Please contact me with the BIOS errors, POST codes, debug LEDs, installation issues and I can explain to you what they mean.
While the motherboard manual included with the box does not have an index, you can download the manual online (in PDF) and search within it to find the information you need.
The motherboard comes with Q-LED’s, where if there are problems with a specific part (CPU, memory, VGA, drive), an LED will come on telling you where the problem occurred.
My email is cl-benson@asus.com. Please reference number C1037-457 when replying and include system parts and specs.
