Do you have a budget in mind?
What will the computer be used for and will you want to be overclocking?

What problems are you having with the board? Someone here may be able to help.

Oh and welcome to the forums.

Cheers Guys.

Budget will be about £100/£150 its for everyday use no gaming and no overclocking at all and my problem is.

I turn my pc on it powers up but no post screen comes on its just blank. My case fans spin but my cooler inside doesnt spin

So you have to pay them £21 plus about £8-9 to ship it to them , robbing ******** .Might be better off getting a new one

Next time around get a Gigabyte board, at least your not going to be ripped off.

I use this one myself................ http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-251-GI&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1782 and ive got the same chip as you.But you could always buy a cheaper one if your not overclocking

JMorley · 30 Dec 2010 at 15:23

MADEinSTOKE · 30 Dec 2010 at 15:40

Both are good boards if you want to go asus again but if they go wrong you will have to pay that rip off charge..................this week only runs wed to wed

JMorley · 30 Dec 2010 at 15:43

Surely i wont as i would have got it new from Overclockers so i would have a invoice number and they could get it RMA for me?

MADEinSTOKE · 30 Dec 2010 at 15:48

only for the first year

JMorley · 30 Dec 2010 at 15:50

Good point mate.. Do you no when there weeks start and finish?

MADEinSTOKE · 30 Dec 2010 at 15:56

wednesday to wednesday.........them crosshair boards are really good for overclocking but you dont want to do that you could get something much cheaper that will be just as good for your needs
