i got a 172x, cant any happier with it. It is very slick. I'm buying two more and setting up triple LCD display with my new monitor arms
games play great on it btw
my original issue was due to the first batch having bad capacitors.
my 2nd issue was with a new fresh board that did not have the capcitor issue, and I base my judgement on that board being completly useless.
Perhaps it is my systems configuration, my all SATA setup, or somthing else. Perhaps...
Hi end name brand memory like corsair in my opinion isnt 'crap' RAM. The ASUS board should have been able to handle it fine, just like how my MSI is handling my same ram and same raid controller wti the same hard drives on it.
Ahh well...
I guess when I get my K8V RMA'd and returned, ill just...
Here is my update.
Returned the 2nd K8V to the store I bought it. Only to find out that they dont do exchanges or refunds. Told them the video issue. They didnt believe me, they even had the gall to say to me in broken english "Toms Hardware say OK"... (kill me now)
Anyways, I got quite loud...
I AM A MORON... SOMEONE PLESE SHOOT ME AND PUT ME OUT OF MY MISSERY...
I just walked out of one of hte largest electronic stores in Akihabara, the largest electronics district in the world and picked up another K8V Deluxe board (i decided to try one last time, plus they didnt have the MSI in...
Yah that was an emotional post of mine lol! Im curious what will happen to my raid array if i switch motherboards though. Will I loose my windows install on my raid 0 array on my raptors if i change motherboard, even to an asus k8v deluxe SE?

I am replacing my K8V and going with MSI

A lil update.
She knows no one wants her there, but she is trying her hardest to act 'cute' by saying she will be okay if she comes and wont throw things off. But like i said, girls will say anything in order to get their way.
She was excited to go to the strip clubs with the guys???
hahaha
such concensus on a single topic! amazing :)
i agree, just woudl suck not to have him down. We are thinking of helping by chipping in. The biggest out of pocket cost is air fare for most of us. He has 3 months to bank 300 a month until then. We'll see if he can do it.
