Re: replacing capacitors on asus striker extreme motherboard

that board is likely still in warrenty through asus.
just call them up and tell them what you have done and go from there.they were easy to deal with when the northbridge died on one of mine.

how would i do that? asus uk here dont bother with pc parts and insist i go to http://support.asus.com or something like that

Re: replacing capacitors on asus striker extreme motherboard

I contacted ASUS last week regarding RMA of my P5N-E SLI - they told me to go back to my reseller. That was impossible since I was given the board by a friend who'd blown a mosfet in the CPU section (and the processor with it). I fixed it myself.

I Googled your CPU INIT issue and found this contact information:

This is for North America, I understand you are in the UK but if you know someone you trust in North America and your board is still under warranty you can still do a RMA as long as they are return shipping the replacement to North America.

Step #1 Look at serial #, is it over 3 years old?
Step #2 Make a friend in North America. :P
Step #3 Call the number and RMA the board mail it in and have the replacement shipped to someone in North America.
Step #4 Have the friend send you the replacement board.

ASUS and XFX are really good about forgiving stuff like where its be shipped from, (yes you moved to the UK last year), as long as they are sending the replacement to North America they dont care. XFX with the double lifetime warranty on video cards and ASUS motherboards are all I have used for the past 20 years.

XFX, I'm not impressed with them either.
I have an 8800GTS, which has a known manufacturing flaw, but I forgot to apply for the lifetime warranty. They won't help me.
