To good to be true????

[leejc73]

I've just been hunting around for motherboards..............don't ask.

Found this on amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0050BG4...de=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B0050BG4FE

It's massively undercutting everyone, my only concern is that it's a pre Rev 3.0 board.

What do you guys reckon? Worth a punt??

Cheers

Lee

The pre Rev 3 boards were plagued with problems and it is a risk going for them. The reviews seem largely positive, but it is still a Gamble.

 

[leejc73]

It doesn't state that it's a non rev 3 board, I'm just suspicious due to the price.

Sorry should have said my concern is if it's a non rev 3 board, not that I know it's a pre rev 3 board.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. The reviews are positive so it doesn't look like a bad choice by any means

Yea, I would say that there is something missing. I would stay away from it until you get more info.

sometimes you get a good deal sometimes you dont... i bought a gtx 570 a while ago for £145 brand new you dont have to be suspicious whenever you see a decent price

It's a z68 mobo, i don't believe there is a rev3?

 

[mayhem]

its asus enough said.

 

[Cyanide89]

Wow, seems like a good deal for you... but when you convert it to Canadian dollars it's still $50 more than what I would be paying here without a deal.

Don't forget about tax/HST.

I realised there was no rev 3 issue about 10 minutes after I posted this oops. I was and still am slightly suspicious as its £60- 80 below other retailers. All I can do is wait now. I read you'd had some trouble with Asus support mayhem and it does suck when it happens but touch wood I've never needed rma on a motherboard. Maxtor hdd though is a whole different story.

At the end of the day, you just have to be patient with the RMA process. Sometimes the RMA people are very dense....

I've always suggested customers to go with WD drives. They also have fast RMA service.

 

[leejc73]

Just hoping it turns up now, although amazon generally look after customers. Also hoping its a better overclocker than the asrock fatality pro, which appears to have voltage stability issues. Will be trying 5Ghz on this board.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Good luck mate. Hope the board turns out Okay

I wouldn't worry about the store.

Even if they were total shiesters, Amazon will smooth everything over.

I'd buy from "We Are Crooks Inc." if they were on Amazon, cos I know my arse is covered by Amazon.

 

[leejc73]

Just got notification of despatch. Mildly excited. How old am I???????

 

[leejc73]

Think it might have been an oversight.

They've just bumped the price to £308 which is more where I would expect it to be, but they are still shipping it to me at £219.

 

[Lollipop]

You bought it then?

 

[yassarikhan786]

They can't charge you extra since you bought it for £219.

 

[leejc73]

Yeah bought it at 219. Was expecting an apology and we made an error in pricing but it's being shipped.

The reviews on the board look good generally, with some impressive 2600 oc's.

Looking forward to getting hold of it.
