Hello everyone

After months of trouble with my Asus Rampage v extreme ..i finally decided to take my build to a pc shop who have diagnosed that my motherboard is to blame and i need a new one.

I am no computer specialist however i did build my x99 system myself and it has worked like a dream for almost 2 years.

I am looking for a new motherboard preferably an Eatx board as i can not wait months to try and Rma it.

I am using 5930k processor can some one guide me to a decent board around the 250 gpb mark. Preferably Eatx and wireless would be a bonus

Also does anyone have experience with asus europe and rma'ing a 2 year old board.

All help appreciated.
 
Thanks for your replys

Yes there should be 1 years warranty left..however its a long and painfull process with asus and ****** which i will go through...but i cant go months without my pc working so i need to buy one now. Researching on the web it looks like if i do get anytjong it will be a partial refund from ******...asus have replied to me and said they do not rma directly...which il sure ill pursue.


The boards mentioned above i thought they are all very expensive. I didnt want to spend mre than 250 pounds on new board.
 
what was the fault with the board? Just for info.

Never had to rma a board with asus but have other things such as monitors and it was an extremely easy process.

There aren't many boards under £250. A few gigabyte boards around that mark or MSI. But MSI apparently have worse customer support than Asus do.
 
If you bought the board from us RMA of Asus is fast and painless. With others Oh dear!! We have a special local agreement for Asus mb RMA for several months.

My choice at this price would be Asus Strix basically anniversary 10. Although this is only atx it's very solid option.
 
Im not sure what the fault with the board is. The repair shop tested all the parts and said it was the board causing a short and causing system to freeze or shut dowm.

The few gigbyte boards ive seen online around 200pound mark have poor reviews.
 
Yes 8 pack i bought ot from a very large online retailer . Asus asked me to go through them for warranty...still waiting for a response from them. Maybe i might try another asus board from here if i cant see any other brands
 
Board powers on boots into windows ..after few seconds freeze and powers off. Doesnt matter if in windows or bios...or safe mode...after a minute or 2 complete freeze and then power off..ive tried everything i can possibly do with my little knowledge...disconnecting all devices etc ...now the shop says its motherboard problem..

Get one of the cheapest boards like MSI X99A SLI Plus Intel X99 then sell it when you get the ASUS back. The MSI X99A SLI should be a good board, most X99 are good.
 
Just a update if anybody who helped with replies is interested.

I was refunded 80% of original cost of the rampage v which i am quite satisfied with after almost 2 years use.

Was verry hesitant to order another asus board but ended up ordereing asus x99 strix gaming board.

Heres hoping for the best...any issues with this board i need to be aware of.?
Would anybody recommend i flash to the latest bios before switching on the whole system when i put it back together tommorow.
 
Are the Asus ROG boards not covered under the same warranty as the Asus Workstation motherboards as they have Advanced Replacement Service (ARS) so you log a fault with Asus and they send you a replacement and return faulty board. I will say that the process is pretty flakey though, we have received several boards that have been repaired but still have issues. Some of the states that the replacement boards come in can be terrible. That said at least its a replacement board and you don't have to spend any money!
 
I contacted asus they said they do not deal directly with RMAs you must contact your retailer..

Ultimately the large online retailer makes the decision how they want to proceed.
