MSI sucks

Post by Red Squirrel »

Never buy a motherboard from them. Pure trash. Bought the p35 neo2 and have all of these issues:

- randomly wont power on / turns off
- randomly gets stuck at this gray/black screen when its about to boot up
- nic card will work for a few seconds then just die
- IDE controller does not work

Probably way more stuff wrong, given I did not even try to overclock yet... Not that I'd do that on a server.

So yeah, go Asus. Thing is I always go Asus but this time I decided to go Intel and there were more non Asus boards for intel. Next time I go AMD/Asus I don't care what people say. I honestly did not see much of a performance boost on my Intel Quad compared to my AMD 64 (single core). But I did not really get much chance yet given the nic on the motherboard is fubar.

Yeah talking about the motherboard company, had no clue it was a band name too. :P

I just ordered an Intel board now, I figure, an intel board should be rather stable with an intel processor.
