Asus or Gigabyte sandybridge board

if it was me i would be thinking MSI (or gigabyte if their customer support is looking as good as MSI's)

I think we have learned from this sandybridge mobo debacle, some companies are prepared to at best stick to the letter of the law (some not even doing that) where as others are going above and beyond. Sadly Asus are well entrenched in the 1st camp.
 
ive got a P8P67 & it's been absolutley flawless, once ide flashed off the shipping bios it hasn't put a foot wrong, it's just a damn shame it's let down by such shoddy CS & notoriuosly slow RMA process. when it comes time to swap out my B2 for a B3 i'll like as not jump ship as i really can't be bothered with the 7 - 10 day estimated turn around time of the board swap.
 
I'd stay clear of Asus, I've had a lot of problems with the P8P67 board. The BIOS is dodgy and unstable. I have a few problems which I can't seem to fix. I'm probably going to be swapping it for a B3 revision, then sell the board and buy a Gigabyte or MSI board.
 
Both boards makers do good boards and will do the job. Currently the RMA process for B3 boards is seemingly sorting the men from the boys.

I personally like the fact that Gigabyte are sending my new replacement board to my door and will collect my old board at the same time. No weeks of waiting without a board. Wait for the courier chap to ring the bell. He brings the new one I hand over the old board. Done deal.

Now to me that is after sale service.

Lucky bugger!

MSI are offering the same services I think and they'll even let you upgrade to another board if you pay the difference. If only Asus would provide the same services, I really want to upgade to a Pro board.

I emailed Asus last week regarding the replacement and I haven't received any emails or phone calls from them, rubbish service to be quite honest.
 
Is the choice of Gigabyte over Asus just because of people being displeased with the RMA service of Asus?

I read the buggy bios posts but once Asus release new and updated versions to iron out the problems, surely the Asus will beat the Gigabyte board?

Tough choice for a new prebuilt. The Triceratop system (currently on offer with Gigabyte UD3) or configure a P8P67 Pro system.
 
Well, the wrong board showed up (Sabretooth B3) so I'm considering changing my order and going for GA-P67A-UD5-B3. It's £35 more than the Asus, I'm wondering if it's worth it? Or should I go for the much cheaper UD4?

Also, I can't seem to establish - has the Gigabytes gone to the UEFI BIOS yet?
