Asus Commando i965 what do you think?

[Clunk]

Just set P5B up and it wouldnt boot, looks like the ram is faulty now.

So, the lesson here is.

IF IT AINT BROKE
DONT FIX IT

[Supershanks]

Think u may have summed it up best here:-

I dont know if I have the patience to be another beta tester

So the casualty list is now:-
Galaxy PSU
OCZ2FX11502GK
Commando mobo

lol u nearly have a full house

[No.72]

This is odd, my commando is starting to do quite well.
I haven't had to reset the cmos since I first overclocked with it.
I have had it at 3.5ghz, it was stable but temps were a bit too high.

[Clunk]

The ram is completely dead now, wont post in either board, even after cmos clear, or after booting with the cheapo ram. Bugger, both sticks as well, very weird.

[Supershanks]

Ouch
your postman's gonna be busy m8, that's crap sorry.

[Clunk]

Nah mate, if anything, its a relief to find the final problem (I use the word "final" very loosely")

The whistling commando can go back to scan.
Enermax are swapping out the psu.
Hopefully OCZ will be magnanimous and we can all live happily ever after.....

















Until the Quad GT arrives

[Supershanks]

Yep to some extent it relieves the paranoia that develops wondereing what's up.

Until the Quad GT arrives

there's probably little to choose between the commando & quad except hopefully abit have better qc.

what u running on now P5B + cheapo ram ??

All these problems is currently making me just use my machine at the moment, I don't want to risk killing my expensive RAM But that should not happen if I keep within spec volts) or the Commando, as I need the machine to wotk at the moment as I have killed two of my daughters machines...... well I did not kill them, but they are down, so I need this one as there is only one other daughter with a working computer and she has need of it.....

[Clunk]

Yep, I was kidding about the QuadGT, got no ram to use on it for a while.

Im on a laptop at the minute, the big pc looks like this at the moment.

It is good to know that I'm not the only one that is cursed

[Supershanks]

Still using those old dfi ide cables ??

that's why i checked my vdimm with a multimeter, been caught out b4 accidently overvolting ram dur to inaccurate software/bios. My dfi nf4 overvolted by about 0.06v

[EtheAv8r]

Well... as you probably remember, I thought there was a problem with my Commando or 8800GTX 'cos the screen stopped working, only after testing to determine it looked like it was the DVI input on the hugely expensive ViewSonic monitor..... to finaly discover it was infact the DVI cable....

So my horrors may be turning arround....

I have had some 4 year old Corsair PC3200 Ram start giving errors on one daughters machine, RMAed it back to the USA, Corsair confirmed one stick of the matched pair was giving errors, and as that RAM was no longer made offered replacment with dirrerent PC3200 DDR, or DDR2 RAM, or my money back. That is SERVICE! (assuming I get it..).

They are the only ones I had that reached out of the case, they are seriously hideous.

You shouldnt have said that

[Supershanks]

But effective you never lose them

Was using 1 up till the other week, when i had 2 optical drives in, the dfi was longer than the asus.
