    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    Actually the refurbished market is huge. Just walk into a Factory Direct or whatever equivalent you have in your locale and see how much refurbished stuff they sell. I just bought a refurbished Logitech Keyboard+Mouse combo for my previous system that my kids now use, all for 20$ (costs like...

    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    I think you both make good points. To be honest I would have taken an extended 5 year warranty offer and skipped this whole RMA process. But I guess that is not financially feasible since they want to take this off the books as soon as possible (understandable). So in this case, I will try...

    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    Yeah ok, See it still says "equivalent". I may be reading too much into things, but I am just curious about the use of this word "equivalent". Sorry, seen too many legal documents obfuscating some details intentionally to just take it with a grain of salt.

    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    Yeah figured that part out on my own, thanks :rolleyes:. I was just wondering if the replacement will a repaired/refurbished or new unit. I like my P8P67 Deluxe and would want a replacement to be as painless as possible, so I was not looking for any kind of upgrade. It's just that the Asus rep...

    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    Is it just me, or are they not clear on whether you will get brand new MB replacements or refurbished ones? They say "ASUS will provide free 2-way standard shipping and an equivalent/new product replacement with warranty renewal at time of replacement". I guess I am confused by the "equivalent"...

    SB Overclocking results?

    I got a stable x47 multiplier at 1.415 but could not increase it any further without BSODing. I did not feel comfortable increasing my Vcore beyond that, and I do not have the patience to muck with all the settings (used the Asus recommendation from Juan Jose) so I was satisfied with 4.7GHz...

    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    Thanks for all the info Gary, I appreciate all the help you provide here. I spoke to someone at Asus yesterday and they were not sure whether the cards would be eligible for the Premium Service RMA once replacements are available. That sure would be a great way to reduce downtime for affected...

    ASUS Policy on Cougar Point based MBs? (Intel Recall)

    I spoke to an Intel rep yesterday and I thought I'd share this info with people here. I have been reading for a while on here and have received some great information and maybe this is my modest way of giving something back. In particular, some may be interested in the failure description...
