Asus vs Gigabyte - IdiotWithGuns - 05-29-2008
Many of us out there use alot of different motherboards. I think i went trough about 10 different brands like DFI and ASRock but found only one that is worth using. What you think?

Asus... just because I've used them for ages and haven't had any complaints yet... Stick with what you know works.

i'm rocking a gigabyte P35-DS3R right now and it's been pretty bonerific with my quadcore.
asus is also a good brand and i've had no issues with them in the past.

One thing is really good about the gigabyte products is the rma and service time. I ve burned soo many motherboards in the past (overclocking) and they always were the best and easiest to deal with.

I've used both and haven't had much trouble with either. My gigabyte had a massive surge on the ethernet port but it didn't harm anything else. Just bought a nic and kept on computing.

Well, I don't overclock and tbh I've never had a broken mobo (at least one for personal use) so I've never experienced Asus' service.

Asus for the mother fucking win
Re: Asus vs Gigabyte - copulatingduck - 05-29-2008
Gigabyte because my onboard sound actually works in Linux. Nobody knows what the bug is with my Asus hardware, I've submitted a few bug reports, but it works just fine in Windows. Never had that problem with Gigabyte. Also, this is all just from my limited experience.

I've had problems with asus parts before... but i'm still using them, they always seem to have a good quality/price ratio.
Re: Asus vs Gigabyte - Eschatos - 05-29-2008
Um yes... I'll take the one on the left.

Ive done that too, also still worked fine
The only thing Ive found bad with Asus is that their onboard sound can be crap
Re: Asus vs Gigabyte - Ceceil Felias - 05-29-2008
Woah, boards are glitching.
Anywho, in my experience, while Asus's high-end boards are damn good, their low-end boards suck. Gigabyte's are passable from top to bottom.
It's really a matter of a gamble. Do you feel lucky?

the real problem is that they never update the sound drivers
Re: Asus vs Gigabyte - Versus - 05-29-2008
This board's a Gigabyte, but I want to get a high-end Asus board for my college comp.
Re: Asus vs Gigabyte - jorge - 05-29-2008
I had an Asus that mysteriously fried, but they replaced it. Never had a Gigabyte before.
