        The new board should work fine.
        We'll be waiting for you. Kinda.

          Asus board fried my hard drives, they don't respond at all..

          ordered a solid state hd

          ordered a new 850 watt power supply

          still waiting on delivery for everything

          and yes, this sucks, I planned BF4 to coincide with new kick butt system.. not so much now..

          if I hadn't had to do the RMA's, i'd be sitting pretty.. just stuff happens

            Newegg said i bent some pins in CPU, and denied replacement...
            You drop cpu in slot at required location, and HUH??? They sent it back to me via pack mule.. Just arrived yesterday, and its NOT MY BOARD.. This one has another issue, and none of the stuff from the box were in there, just the board... Sent them a dispute, and they have 24/48 hours to respond.. They are out of stock on mine anyway now... Will maybe buy me another one tomorrow locally... what a PITA

              They said the exact same thing about my EVGA board. I KNOW I didn't bend the pins. How do you even bend those things. I read all manuals. They told me to take it up with EVGA myself. I threw the board out. I was so angry, I threw a $350 motherboard straight in the trash.

                Stories like this are why I prefer Amazon's return system over Newegg's.

                  This is why you should always take a photo of anything before you return or sell it on in the second hand market. Cover your a$$ at all times.

                      I sent pics to NEWEGG, and hope to get a refund or such...
                      Has been a PITA/Nightmare

                      New graphics card needs power that I can't give from old 650...
                      I'll put in the new 850 today... so i'll have new graphics but old 2 core board.

                      Will see how that works out..

                      Might just buy a P9X79 board from local today.. save the 3 day journey

                      Will pay a little more, but local is easier to exchange if something goes bad.

                      Both Newegg and Amazon are out of the Asus X79 deluxe... Either popular, or a rash of system problems

                        Downloading BF4 now... will upgrade power supply and graphics when all is done...

                        I basically have part of November, and most of all of December off for vacation, so I'm looking forward to some CLR fun ... I do have duty Thanksgiving, and another week in December, but a small price to pay.

                          A 650W PSU that can't power a single graphics card? Pretty sure it could power a Nvidia Titan.

                          Enjoy the vacation.

                              Got old board working, still jacking with Newegg..
                              Got issues with certificates, all expired or unsafe or ... .....

                              Can't login to Origin, Ea, Nothing...
                              This is this BIGGEST PITA...

                              BF4 half downloaded, then quit.. then said I needed to go ONLINE to continue...
                              Clicking online did nothing.

                              Deleted Origin and reinstalled, and can't even see the downloads now..
                              this is getting tiresome..

                              Have my new 850 watt power, and may just wipe all from old drives and start with the solid state...

                              This has not been a good month
                              But at least I still have a job...
