Re: Asus p8z68-v pro & p8z68-v le ?
LE suggests "Lite edition" or something along those lines.
Perhaps crippled BIOS, lacking overclocking features and fine-tuning settings or something.
Gigabyte at least does it that way. If their motherboards have a "L" in their model number (like EP35-DS3L), the BIOS is crippled, and some features (hardware and/or software) are missing or limited in some way.. For example 10/100 ethernet instead of gigabit, or 5.1 sound instead of 7.1 and stuff like that..

Not just that...
With Asus you will see cheaper parts on the lower 'cost point' boards.
For example a 'Deluxe' or 'Premium' version is more likely to have good caps while lesser boards built on the same -exact- PCB blank are virtually guaranteed to have junk for caps.
Asus plays a lot of games like that.
From what I've seen..
xx-Premium .. fair chance of premium jap caps but not for sure.
xx-Deluxe .. anyone's guess
xx-(nothing or anything else) .. very slight chance of premium caps.
Was more obvious when they are all lytic boards but I'm sure they still do it.
Some of their poly are off-beat brands like APAC.

Links aren't working.
Sometimes that happens here.

I've never seen ASUS use anything but Apaq on their newer gear.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Apaq is Taiwanese, not Chinese...
I wouldn't worry as much about their polymer caps as I would their transistors...
Asus fairs better with their mosfets than Gigabyte or MSI."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

^ by using shitloads of junk parts instead of a few good ones..?
One of my customers computers died while he was using it. Turned out that the CPU VRM (12V input) was dead shorted. Still in warranty, but a total painus in the anus nonetheless..
I wasn't even sure if the CPU was damaged in the process or not till I got a replacement board..
The board was a Asus P7H55-M/USB3 (or whatever the exact name was)
