My motherboard has died. Yay i am having great luck these last two weeks lol.
I have an asus maximus formula. I bought it last year but havent registered the purchase on the asus website (yet) will asus still cover this in their returns?
What is their Rma service like? Do they replace boards quickly or upgrade like a few graphics cards companies do? Not had to RMA things for ages.

EDIT: Apparently Asus dont deal with customers and I should contact the reseller first >_>

This other place does not do the Asus Maximus Formula now, and have said if I want a replacement I will have to pay for the extra on top of the card or get one that is lower priced than the Maximus. Any ideas on what I should go for?

I need the card to have Crossfire support and at least be good enough for overclocking.

EDIT: Another question are DDR3 boards compatible with DDR2 RAM?

Currently looking for a cheap motherboard to get while i wait for it to come back. Needs to be about 50pound and run a quad core extreme and a 4870x2. Any ideas? Wish i had heard of Ocuk before i went to the last place lol
 
What kind of gigabytes are there? I havent really looked that hard but last time i did it was just a long string of numbers and letters and was hard to see the better ones apart from the price lol
looking to order one today (a decently priced at the lower end of 100 pound)
edit- theres a P45 board on this week only for under a 100. Is this enough. Motherboards arent my strong point lol.
Probably gonna ask for my money back from the reseller and go with ocuk lol.

Now that I am on a PC and not my phone. This is the one here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-128-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=

I cant quite see if this will have everything I need. From what I have read it looks to be the thing I need, but not sure if anyone else has more experience?

I also have a Sunbeam Core Contact Cooler for my CPU which I just purchased. The Maximus Formula had a passive cooler just beside the CPU which meant it was a very tight squeeze and had to use soap and a lot of scraping of the passive cooler to get it in (this was a waste of my time as the motherboard was already dead!!)

Overclockers dont do weekend delivery? :confused:

Gonna go into my local component seller in Edinburgh and see if they have any decent mobos.
OCUK dont do Saturday delivert to Scotland and I need to prepare some things for work at the weekend.
Edinburgh seems to have a lack of good PC stores though =/
 
I decided to get a crappy 55pound gigabyte from my local component store for now. The pc turns on so it was defo the motherboard that was dead in my last build. Unfortunately this has cut my ram from 6gig to 4gig due to it only have two ddr2 slots.
Not too much of a problem so far as i will be getting a refund from the reseller from the asus and once everything sorted there i will return the crappy one and get a proper one.
Thanks for the advice guys. Hopefully i can actually start to enjoy my new graphics card now :)

I must move to Edinburgh - where the computer stores lend out carpy motherboards to people who are RMAing their 'good' one. Or are you just screwing over the local guy?
Click to expand...

These guys over charge for a basic motherboard. The only reason i bought it from them is because i could get the motherboard straight away. My friend went to them before to return a motherboard which he bought from them he had it for a day for his mum's pc and it died. He took it to the store with the receipt and they still charged him for the replacement...
