RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

[RJARRRPCGP]

Just had the Asus Maximus II Gene ordered!

(Sorry folks, can't do the DDR3 setup yet, because I don't have another back up DDR2 board.)

I see you paid homage to my thread.

Now what else do you have going into the rig?

Good luck with your build.

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

The Asus Maximus II Gene board came today!

Pictures?

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

It's going back! Epic fail! Never POSTed even once for the life of me!

I also saw messed up socket pins! But it looks like it was like that out-of-the-box!

I feel like I could get sick now..

Wished Topcat had good 775s..

Even my lousy Soyo with the Deer back in 2001 booted..

Yup. That's typical of ASUS. Go with Gigabyte next time.

Agreed. Don't be a ASUS worshiping lemming like my idiot classmates.

(I'd show this to the as proof but I don't want a fistfight...)

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

Something looks odd with the socket. The arrangement of some socket pins look different than on my P5QL Pro!

It looks like someone ruined socket pins!

The build quality is real good. I wouldn't expect that with the P5Q series and Maximus II Gene!

That's more like I expect with an A7N8X.
Because of a reported nForce 2 issue that makes them more prone to BIOS corruption than typical.

And that's exactly the reason I didn't get a P5N! P5N is the nForce version of 775.

The P5QL Pro has P43 and Maximus II Gene has P45.

In fact, I have more difficulty finding a Gigabyte 775 board with non-questionable caps than with Asus before they got discontinued.

It's vice-versa with AM3+ and 1155.

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

News flash! Broken pin found! I have sufficient evidence of an outright faulty board!

Huh? Just look for something with UD3_ or DS3_ in the model. Those are the ultra-durables, and NEVER use questionable caps. ASUS on the other hand, usually use Apaq bombs.

Now they do! Since AM3+ and 1155! WTF Asus?

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

Lol, asus, acer, both not good xD

BTW, the OP link gives me a 404.

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

They've used apaq since s775. I've seen plenty of s775 and AM2 ASUS boards with Apaq polies (and in a few cases, exploded ones).

For their 775 boards, most of them of them appear to be with their DDR 3 ones.

ddr2 and ddr3 support. Should also do 8gb

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

That one apparently sneaked Apaq caps. There appears to be 2 near the PCI-E slot!

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

This one is similar in specs to the Maximus II Gene.

Those red caps got to be Fujitsu.

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

than replace them with better polys

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

For DDR 3, this is a good one:

Re: RJARRRPCGP main rig part II

just get a freaking lga 1155 board and a celeron G620 that beats the piss out of that E8400
