Alright my asus a8n sli premium has died for the second time. Now i have to figure out how to rma since newegg no longer rma’s them. Ugh, I don’t recommend Asus motherboards to anyone. Go with gigabyte or some other company.:upset: ---

I’d have to agree…My P4800SE went bad as well…and now I have to resort to using my old, yet RELIABLE, Gigabyte board. So I’m right there with ya SlowRoasted! ---

Really, ASUS is a no-go? I was considering ASUS for my pc build, guess not. Thanks for advice, and good luck with your problem! 😑 ---

Aw man, that sucks. I TOO went through TWO ASUS A8N-SLI Premium motherboards and ended up settling with an Abit AN8-SLI Fatal1ty motherboard. It is much nicer. ---

I thought that ASUS used to have a reputation for reliability. I have always recommended them, and I have had lots of good luck with them. But I recently helped someone build a system that had a bad A8N SLI as well. Its too bad they have gone downhill. ---

My Asus has been working fine. It’s a A8N-E. That premium is the one with the heatpipe cooler? Or it is the one with the notoriously weird chipset cooler? Sorry about the mobo problems! ---
