COMMENTS:
I've only had it running for a few days, but in that time it's been super. Temps are good considering the OC, after running CPU at 100% for an hour it only hit 42C.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
1. The reason why I joined this forum...got another WD800JB and can't get RAID to work. Detailed in another post.

100% of ASUS boards have been stable for me over the years.

Hi, first I'd like to say every system I've built for myself, or for customers using ASUS MB has been rock solid.

The only stability issue we've seen with a P4C800-E Deluxe system was fixed by upgrading the power supply. It would randomly lockup about once a day and sometimes wouldn't boot up. Once we replaced the power supply there were no more problems and the system has been solid since then, it's about 8 months now.

The only other issue was the earlier BIOS that the P4C800-E Deluxe came with didn't support RAID 1 (mirroring) for the IDE RAID controller. I sent some emails to ASUS, never heard back from them, but there was a new BIOS released a day or so after I emailed them that fixed the problem.

My main system:
P4C800-E Deluxe
2.4C overclocked to 3Ghz, 1 Ghz FSB, just using the retail Intel HS/Fan that came with the CPU
1 Gig Kingston HyperX PC3500
2 x WD 160G IDE mirrored as data drives
1 40G IBM "Deathstar" (mislabed as "Deskstar") IDE system drive
eVGA 6800nu video card
Logitech WingMan Gaming Mouse (have to have 3 approx. equal mouse buttons!)

I think ASUS boards used to be made only in Taiwan? Then they started shifting some production to China? I think that's when their quality control started to slip? Before that, if the MB was ASUS, that was enough to rule out any possibilty that probelms were because of the motherboard, they were pretty much just as reliable as gravity is. I started using ASUS back when I built my first Pentium 166 MMX system, that board was awesome and never gave me problems. The only other company I've known to build such solid, reliable motherboards is Intel.

I have two P4P800 SEs both working relatively well striaght out of the box, no tweaks or anything.

Hardware I installed:

2. Slow-boot with 1017 bios.

[Ken_VT2002]

Bought my new setup 2 weeks ago. Here's the basics:

Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
P4 3.2Ghz 800, 512Cache (not Prescott)
2x512MB Corsair Twinx 3200XL RAM
2x160GB Maxtor SATA Hard Drives 8MB 7200 - RAID Stripe
Asus/ATI AX800 XT PE 256MB Graphics Card
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Ex Sound Card
Thermaltake Pure Silentpower 480W PSU
NEC 3500 DVD-RW

No real problems during setup. Flashed the latest BIOS onto the motherboard before doing anything else (maybe that's why I had no problems) and then set up the RAID, downloaded the RAID drivers off the net (using another computer!) and renamed them appropriately and put them on a floppy, installed XP SP2 no problems. Just a couple of boot up issues which aren't really a problem. I've put in another post for that issue anyway.

SOFTWARE Setup:
All HDD formated NTFS, full partitions. Win XP Professional SP2

COMMENTS:
With Memory set to auto, only shows my ram timing as 2.5-3-8-8. Corsair says it should run at 2-3-3-6...haven't messed with it yet.

I browsed this forum and took much advice from the posts. Started with 1 HD and 1 DVD for fresh install on a newly formatted drive. Installed Intel Chipset driver immediately after OS install and began to install one device at a time till I had my full working system.

Have not installed my ATI WinTV yet. Not really a priority for me. I saw one poster had a problem with WinTV and Hyper Threading...I'd rather have the HT but I'll try it later this weekend anyway.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Not really any except for the memory timing mentioned above which I have tried to change yet.

Many thanks to all who support this forum!!!

I'm computered out....off to the beach for some bodyboarding!! :bgrin:

PURPOSE:
What you intend to use this PC for. Advanced video editing & photo work

COMMENTS:
Any observations, positive or negative.
Very satisfied. The 4 gig of ram doesn't show as 4 gig in the ram boot log, but as 3.2 or so gig. The boot doesn't show the amount used in the theoretical second processor created with hyper-threading. XP home while it won't use a second processor, sees the hyper-threaded mode of the northward CPU as a second processor and uses it as such.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
1. None. Stuck it together and it ran. Stuck in the old drive from the other machine already loaded with XP, most software ran right off. Some fancy stuff had to be tweaked a bit, Nero and InCD for instance had to be reinstalled.

Built my PC around a P4C800-e Deluxe about three weeks ago and everything works fine. Had a bit of a time with the Promise controller driver, but that's working now, too. Tried overclocking at 10% and ran perfectly, with about a 1ºC increase in temp.

PURPOSE:
Web surfing, gaming, and, believe it or not, I actually use it for work (shame on me).

COMMENTS:
The system went together very well. There were no hardware or software issues, and the machine is very fast. The only problem I encountered was when I added the additional 80GB drive to the Primary RAID connector using the Promise controller. I had a difficult time loading the driver. Once loaded, it ran well. This board has been completely stable -- literally crash free -- for three weeks while running both business apps and games (i.e., Call of Duty, Battlefield Vietnam, Doom 3). I would not hesitate to build additional PC's using this board.

COMMENTS:
The Vantec Stealth is the quietest PSU I have ever used. Also, the voltages are consistently above its rating.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Starting with the first installation of Windows XP, I began getting random BSOD stop errors, most of which pointed to an "unknown driver problem". The errors included all the usuals, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, BAD_POOL_CALLER, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, NTFS.sys error, some didn't even have a name. Following "numerous" clean installations of Windows XP, as well as replacing the PSU, video card, etc., and several adjustments to BIOS, I finally broke down and RMA'ed the bundled board to my retailer. They ended up replacing both memory modules.

PROBLEM SOLUTION: The original dimms (two Kingston ValueRam KVR400X64C3A/512 modules) were built with "Vitelic" brand chips. In single channel mode they worked great. But for some reason these chips would not work in DDR mode with the ASUS board. The retailer replaced both dimms with two similar Kingston ValueRam KVR400X64C3A/512 modules that were built with "Elpida" brand chips. DDR mode works great and I have not had any problems or crashes since the dimms were replaced.
