DO NOT buy any motherboard made by ASUS. I recently bought all the parts for a new computer, including an ASUS P6TDeluxe motherboard. Well the computer powers on however it won't POST and after trying many basic troubleshooting steps, nothing. Reading on the ASUS forums and newegg there is a bunch of shit wrong with asus anymore. IE: -Power on-off cycle until you shut off the computer(The computer continues to power on after it powers off). -CMOS needs to be reset after each boot. 1 set of DIMM slots not working, but the other ones do. -Can't make a SAS RAID 1 and SATA RAID 5 together. -Can't support 3 video or even 2 video card SLI. -Windows takes 5 minutes to load if you have 3 sticks of memory in the computer, but takes 3 minutes when you take a stick out. -Slow NIC speeds. -Won't POST (my problem)
STAY AWAY FROM ASUS, I unfortunately am RMAing this board in hopes I get one that semi-functions.

I have had fairly good luck with ASUS myself.

Well, I'm willing to bet my problem is because i'm buying a 1366 socket MB, and since it's newish its bound to have issues.
Also: If you get this motherboard and it works, don't flash the bios from windows, do it from USB or you'll turn your MB into a very expensive brick.
