I'm not from ASUS but knowing top people from organizations would help me understand things better That's besides the point but I can tell you what I'm saying is how things work. Believe it or not, it's your choice.

DarkNite, Asus rep has clarified and you guys can check with him to get a brand new board since it's now possible there's no contradiction but sometimes a single sentence can have different understanding. Everyone is trying to help

Obviously if we talk about RMA, you are more experienced because killing hardwares is your hobby. I was trying to tell you that you should speak to the distributor and ask for a new board I don't think it's difficult to understand. The process for swap has been defined now and you can ask for a new board. I don't mind if you want to feel personal and touchy because that's your choice. However it does not change the fact.

There you go this shows it's not really Asus but the distributor isn't it?

Brother, I'm trying to help you as well and I'm not sure why you're being so personal? be more matured in handling issues and take it professionally. I've said many times that you just need to make it clear you want a new board to the distributor. Have you did that and made the point clear at the first place? I cannot come here and bash distributors. You get what I mean?

If you want to game, please concentrate on getting a better graphics card.
