I believe if you list down your RMA-ed products, most people would agree that it's abnormal but that's fine, let's keep that aside As for B3 replacement, I believe you are confused, not me. Look what has been stated a few pages earlier:

QUOTE(lingloong @ Apr 9 2011, 11:38 AM)
Firstly, I don't think Asus Royal Club deal with your case. As per inform by them, normal procedure Sandy Bridge replacement program goes back to distributor, your case is SERVEX


You even answered "That means SERVEX is at fault". I'm not sure if you have a bad memory loss but this doesn't justify that all replacements needs to refer with RC personnel? Look who's the cow? You answer yourself, you forget then you're accusing others. Look, I'm just trying to share my thoughts and this is how distribution works (whether you like it or not). I'm not asking you to buy what I say but facts are just facts. If you intend to resolve the problem then please call up someone from ASUS. Why are you endlessly whining here and get pissed when I'm saying the truth? It's just bizarre but of course, that's you.

P/S: You're right, I am a babysitter but you're the baby because you don't even remember what you say

Missing accessories I do agree that they will have to replace you. As for the board replacement, there isn't a clause that specifically says it must be BRAND NEW. Perhaps that's the reason why they gave a refurbished one with B3? If you have a case then you can file up in the consumer's tribunal but like I said, ASUS can always argue saying they replaced you a B3 board I know it sucks but welcome to Malaysia.

I guess you and i receive the same offer 
let see this in a positive way . i want ma desktop back !!... sick of small laptop @@

not sure this is the right place to ask but ill fire away
anyway so i just got a new pc with the asus mobo p8p67 LE; installed win 7 on it, sole HDD
now after bout 2 weeks of perfectly running, i tried putting in nother hdd, fine it detects them both in bios. Odd thing is now i cant get my win 7 to boot. I tried all combinations of with 1 and(or) 2 hdd , or even the sole main hdd with the OS installed and all i get is either Error loading OS, or insert bootable drive bla bla.
iv run load optimized default in bios, played around with boot priority, swap around sata ports and have not found a solution. How can anything be different if i just leave it at its original single HDD when it ran fine for 2 wks.
want to avoid reinstalling win if i can
edit: im fairly certain this new bios is giving me the run around

thx for the reply, but no i didnt attempt to install win on hdd2
i was gona use it as extra storage, but it does hav remnant old win xp on it
but either way i use any hdd as main priority boot, hdd1 says error loading os, hdd2 says insert bootable media

yeah did that few times , finishes repair and says if repair was successful win shud start normally if not it may start sys repair again
but it never does, goes straight to error loading OS

I too, thought that you were able to get the refund. I'll see what I can do.
I'm not sure I understand you right. I was told that you accepted the board instead of getting a refund in the end. So now are you getting a refund?

Added on April 18, 2011, 4:07 pmHi all, Republic of Gamers is holding an online contest worldwide and the prizes are simply irresistible! I've uploaded the web banner on the main post with the link. What are you waiting for?!

PS: I wish I could join 

Bro you have to put your shoes in seller side 

If do refund, no sale = untung RM 0 = Coz top chain party for this Sandy Bridge Replacement Program DON'T issue compensation to reseller (I'm referring to Intel & ASUS for your case)

You see why other two big player like Gigabyte & MSI don't have this refund policy? Coz it caused too many inconvenience & losses to reseller. They take care of their reseller & end-user, both party happy ending, good example is MSI even offer freebies to end-user

Of course this is not your fault, as ASUS them-self give this T&C, so end-user are eligible to claim/request

And they just simply point finger to reseller to do refund = which is not fair = u will see many reseller reluctant to do so = coz everybody think we should not bear this losses

This refund matter have been dragged for a long time edi here, I still remember it cause stiff some "tension" in this forum (me and my customer) which is not good

For me honestly I'm only willing to to swap or top-up/upgrade. no more no less. If any party wanna sue me, go ahead 

If ASUS is really serious about settling this issue once and for all, maybe can set up temporary one stop center for end-user (swap, upgrade/downgrade or refund)

MSI is a good example  But they don't do refund 

Reference: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1753571

3) If you want to do a sales return a.k.a. refund, this can be done on the spot with the dealer. However, the method of refund and transaction type solely depends on the dealer.

anyway, although i'm not a seller but what I do understand from my fren who works in ASUS MY is if you got any old Sandy Bridge board, just sent it back to your dealer to claim for a B3 version. I just got mine back although it took me 3 days to wait. Mine was P8H67-M LE 

Cheer up bro  , there's no need for this hoo haa over here which doesn't benefit either you or me (reader) , let ASUS MY do the job as I do pity my fren too, hehe

I do believe this can be settled personally irrespective to any brands or manufacturers involved. Once again, cheers...

That is good . congrats bro ! 
so whats next ? 

great to hear that. How would you going to spend that ?

is any Maximus IV user facing the same problem that i have below

i put 2 hdd under Marvell  Sata 6gbps and these 2 drives always gone missing from time to time and when i tried to move a big file from this hdd to another hdd (non marvel sata) it will stuck and the drive become unrecognised.

both hdd is healthy i swap the hdd to Intel Controller Sata 2/3 and it can copy run diskcheck without having any problem.

i've swapped new sata cable but still the same on Marvel sata port.

Bios version is 1204. hope any1 can shed me some lights. i dont wish to swap board again...

card is tested no problem.
updated to latest bios and nvidia drivers.

So the extreme z is sort of available in the trade zone but at RM1400+ I don't think I'd bother with it.

Exactly. Extreme Z is virtually identical to MIVE. I wont buy it at 1400+ for sure. Even the crosshair V is fetching 200$ premium

Some sellers already listed the board to be RM1400+ and Compuzone has it listed as RM1500+ 

i think for P67 users, won't need to swap for Z67 board, since graphic switching requires restart, i would like to stick to my p67 deluxe. =/

Seriously? Sabertooth 990FX  RM715, C5F RM785? wth. It is soo wrong to buy Intel now if the price of the mobo is almost RM200 cheaper....
