The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

I don't like UPS, it takes them all bloody day to deliver to me, whereas City link gets to me by 11:30 latest 9.5/10. For me City link are the best, never a lost/late or damaged delivery and I've used them A LOT

My Dad has worked for City Link. You have been lucky.

Mind you that said I have never had anything lost or damaged either, Parcelforce on the other hand :shadedshu

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has used a Thermalright IFX-14 on a P5Qpro/e/delux?
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/cpu/ifx-14_intel_bp/product_cpu_cooler_ifx-14-intel.html
Do you think im likley to loose a ram slot like in the thumbnail?
loosing ram slots makes me

This may be an old board, but it shows clearance.

So long as the fan doesn't block the slots you should be find with the P5Q.

 

[Birowsky]

dooode..
fan goes in the middle

 

[aCid888*]

Double Post because I cant be bothered to edit my last one.

Here's some idiot using a IFX and a P5Q....he blocked the two left RAM slots with the fan....I wouldn't mount a fan there, just one in the middle and one on the left near the exhaust fan....you wont have any issues then.

He also has no cable management and has his Dominators in single channel. :shadedshu

 

[Dice]

HaHa cable management FTMFW!!
The dominators are what im worried about, and if i got that cooler id have to put more than one fan on it, id want one by the rams and one in the middle. maybe three even....

I'm keeping this 750i SLI FTW. It'll eventually power my 2nd system, which will be my downloading system, and also SLI folding rig It'll be this exact system with SLI.

Soon enough I'll get that P5Q Pro with the Dark Knight, run THIS crappy setup on it for a while, then get a ~E8400/Q9550, 4GB good RAM, and a decent case (Coolermaster or Antec), then build that system as my main system while turning this system into my 2nd system all at the same time.

It's gonna happen, Spock.

 

[Scrizz]

Can any of you with an XFX 4830/4850 help me out?

do a close-up macro from that area:

And say the markings on that chip.

This is the stupidest pic I've seen since seeing a pic of how a HDD was put in a case because the user didn't know any better... That particular pic the poor HDD was mounted upside down and held in with brown stickytape :shadedshu

 

[kyle2020]

Wow, id like to slap the owner of that pc - how can you possibly allow your system to look like that?

 

[aCid888*]

Quoted specs are Q9xxx and 4GB of Corsair 1066mhz stuff if I remember correctly....idiot even seems to have a decent power supply and he has no skills with cable management.

Noobs eh?

 

[alexp999]

Those two fans so close will actually be doing more harm than good, one big fan in the middle is all that is needed in that setup.

FFS. Ket, i need to sell one of my 4830s to fund a new motherboard. When you want it? I can post tomorrow. Oh, i havn't tried overclocking either.

 

[Ketxxx]

I don't know Haven't had time to check my account to see whats in it.

 

[MoonPig]

Aww ffs! I can't believe OcUK. My last month:

WcUK send my the wrong barb for my Loop, takes 3 extra days to have a working computer
Scan delay my order, takes an extra day (and beyond-belief cheekyness) to get a working computer
OcUK Receive, Reject and Repost my Motherboard within 7mins.

I now have to buy a new motherboard, sell a 4830 and reinstall Windows7 as it corrupted when my PC fucked up. Yey.... I HATE THIS!

 

[Ketxxx]

OCuk are scam artists, make sure if you have to buy from them at all its simple things.

 

[MoonPig]

Yea, but who do i buy from now? Theres only eBuyer left.

 

[MoonPig]

Right, i should be getting the Maximus back tomorrow. I'll then take it to my local computer store and get them to check it over. If it's truely fucked, i'll contact Asus.

Depending on tomorrows outcome, i need to buy a new motherboard. I want to stick with P45 and i'm not going to be using Xfire as:

ATi XFX HD4830 512MB - One Week Old - Replaced TIM with MX-2 - £65 posted.

and possibly:

Asus Maximus II Formula P45 - Month old - Presumed Broken - Great play toy - £ Offers.

 

[alexp999]

WTF OcUK are absolute f*cking tw@s, maybe I should give myself an infraction for this, but what has happened to you Moon has really f*cked me off.

They make sh*t up, I knew they were bad, but this is f*cking ridiculous. Take it up with Asus, cus I take it there is no way any pins were bent. Their retareded technicians probably bent it trying to take the protector off.

FFS! I would get everyone involved, Asus, Financial Ombudsmen, trading standards. What scamming f*ckers



/ rant over

 

[MoonPig]

I'm pissed off, bad.

It's so obvious that they received it, realised it means giving my a £200 item, and broken a pin to save them money. This is my Gmail account:

How can a company receive my motherboard, check the whole board, and send it for posting within 7 mins?

This is complete bollocks, but how can i prove it? All i can do now is contact Asus and get even more pissed off.

Now, if a technician purposly broke a pin so that they didn't have to replace it, and then Asus won't either, i hope that guy dies. Slowly, painfully and in mass humiliation. The fucking joke.

£100 wasted. What a great fucking month.

 

[alexp999]

Dont let it go yet, I wouldnt. Get onto Asus.

And how did you pay for it?

 

[MoonPig]

HSBC Debit.

I'll be telling Asus as soon as i get it back.

 

[alexp999]

Damn you should have done credit card or Paypal.

Oh and Asus were really helpful when I had a problem with my Deluxe

 

[MoonPig]

Not old enough for Credit Card, OcUK don't accept Paypal.

Asus were good afew days ago. Lets hope their as good, if not better.

 

[alexp999]

Get someone else to pay in future then, I used to use my Dad's credit card and transfered him the money till I was old enough for a credit card.

I have probably said this before, but I have had credit card charges reversed twice, I'm currently in the process of sorting out Payments CCP games (Eve Online) are taking without my consent, and I rang play.com yesterday about an order and am getting a refund, I got my postage refunded form ebuyer on that case...etc

I always get my money back, it aint over till its over!

So what you going for now? Good old P5Q pro (what I told you to get in first place ) lol.

 

[MoonPig]

Wake up and hope it's a nightmare.

If that fails. See what Local shop says about Maximus / I look at the Maximus. Then buy a P45 from eBuyer.
