Asus K8V SE Deluxe Question and Advice Requested
Does anybody own or have any experience with the Asus K8V SE Deluxe
motherboard? I know that the first version of this board (not SE) had some issues, and it seemed like it was more than just bad capacitors on limited shipments. Though the Asus K8V Deluxe earned many positive reviews and recommendations, there are several forums which show many frustrated people having great difficulty getting it to run acceptably - or even to run at all, in some cases. Memory problems, IDE problems, frequent crashing and general instability... it all leaves one feeling somewhat less than enthusiastic about the original K8V. I didn't come across most of these forums until after I ordered my Athlon 64 system (though I had heard of the capacitor issue with the first revision), which uses the Asus K8V SE Deluxe as the MB. I have not heard nearly the same amount of horror stories with the SE version, but perhaps that is because it hasn't been on the market as long. It would be great to get some feedback from owners of this model. Also, if anyone knows of any incompatibilities with the board and the parts I chose, please let me know! ANTEC SX1040 PERFORMANCE II TOWER ASUS K8V SE DELUXE AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ OCZ DUAL CHANNEL OPTIMIZED 2X256MB DDR PC3200 CAS2 (OCZ400512ELDC-K) SEAGATE BARRACUDA 40GB 7200.7 1.44MB BLACK 3.5IN FLOPPY MSI GEFORCE FX5200 TD128 CREATIVE LABS AUDIGY 5.1 LG GCE-8525B BLACK CDRW 52X32X52 And just in case I do encounter a lot of trouble with the Asus, what would you recommend as a replacement: MSI KT8 Neo-FIS2R (nobody seems to have any problems with this one) or Abit KV8 Max3 (another excellent board which apparently doesn't cause many headaches). Thanks very much, Al |
