ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardMotherboard works great, just remember to update teh BIOS and enable the auto fan speed control and all should be quiet enough even with a stock CPU fan. Also if you are using the HDMI port just remember to overscan it so you get a true full screen. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardI have had nothing but good come from this board paired with and AMD 965. I have been a long time asus consumer and this motherboard will keep me coming back. The only downfall is it doesn't have support for PCI-E 2.1 which is what is around the corner. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardOk i have officialy given up on this board after not one not two but three boards being defective. The 1st and 3rd even being defective in the same way no less. It would be no less than Einsteins definition of insanity to try a fourth time. I really gave Asus more than a fair chance to get me a working product and i must say i am very very dissapointed. Most people would have gone after a different brand after the 2nd defect. It ain't my hardware configuration either the cpu and ram are both good i checked them out plus i got ram that very specficly matched the recomended bus speeds even. I would say buy this board at your own risk of time and effort. Maybe it is a sheer matter of luck maybe not i just know i gave the manufactuer THREE trys. I used to think of ASUS as a quality manufactuerer but now i am not so sure. Gave a 1 for performance because a paper weight does not perform very well........ |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardUsed for third build, second asus used, first asus A8V deluxe 939 CPU still works perfect. In my anxious hurry to build system I sat on the board with heat sink fan and ram installed. It still worked perfect. In fact this build turned out to be the best one yet with heat sink and case used. Thought it would'nt be because of bad reviews on heat sink, case, mother board etc. You can't rely on reviews all the time. If your haveing problems with the board it more than likely is a setting in BIOS that will take care of the problem. I know very well the BIOS is not my favorite place to be either and wish I new more of it. I do agree ASUS customer service help is usless. Its a dam shame because they do make good boards. Customer service is not good everywhere now. Good luck with your build its still fun and an accomplishment. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardThe MB lasted 8 months...It come with a warranty for 3 years,yea right, try to get a replacement as I did. First, it's an act of Congress to get the right person to speak to and then they want to send you a bios chip which I knew was not the problem, then they tell me to send the MB for repae. I am out a computer till they get it repaired. They will not just send a new one to replace the old one, that would be too easy and standard customer service. So, if yours goes out,your out and down not the maker of this board. My last A. board. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardTo start off, this is my 3rd asus motherboard (I know that makes me rather n00b compared to many computer builders) All have worked flawlessly out of the box, I see many complaints about each one I have purchased, all of them from tigerdirect I am not normally a lucky person, but maybe this is an exception to the normal rule for me. This motherboard I had trouble with getting an SATA hd and SATA dvd drive at first but that was my fault as I did read that you had to install windows XP sp1 or greater to get them to work properly. Luckily I have quite a few XP discs laying around, and as previously stated the manual did say it wouldnt work till I installed XP and I am more than willing to admit that was my fault for not doing it right. Well I know it is rather lengthy, but I figured I should give ASUS some props and share my experiences with them. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardThis board is guaranteed to BSOD on you over and over. Just like the others have said. This is the 5th board i've had from asus and BSOD on all of them. Every kind of error you can think of. Not worth your time or the hassle. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardAs Man Toot said below, this board is a complete waste of your time. I loaded windows 7 on my HD and within a few weeks, my system started BSOD'ing also. Tested my HD, Memory, PSU, GPU all checked out fine. This motherboard has made my life miserable and it has been guaranteed to BSOD when i try to play any game for more than a few minutes. And it's not just 1 type of BSOD. Every type imaginable. Spent the last week trying to locate the sorce... turns out it was the mobo. |

ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboardbought 2 of these. 1 of the 2 was DOA but it might have been manhandled a little during shipping. waiting for the replacement. in the mean time the other is working fine with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 and 4GB of Corsair DDR3 1333MHz RAM. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardI have been trying to keep this system running ever since I bought this motherboard back in February. I have installed Windows7 64-bit with 8G of RAM. It usually Blue-Screens within 10 to 30 minutes after I start it up. I have tested the memory with 3 different programs, all report no problems. I have run video tests on the video card, in other systems as well, with no problems found. I have tried Safe-Mode tests, it Blue-Screens there, too. I have reloaded the operating system several times with no differences. I have tried loading just minimal drivers. It all seems to boil down to running Windows7 64-bit on this motherboard is NOT a good idea. |

Corsair PC10600 1333MHz 4GB DDR3 Desktop MemoryI was putting together a new build with a Gigabyte AMD MA790 board. I heard other brands of memory could need configuring. I wanted a hassle free installation so despite its higher price I went with the Corsair. Was it ever stable and smooth. Did the job. It was a pleasure. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardThis is absolutely a great board. It can play demanding games like crysis out of the box! I've paired this with the Phenom II X4 955BE. Oh and plays FULL HD movies (blu-ray rips) without ANY hiccups. So it's just an amazing value for someone who wants to wait and buy a Graphics card later. This things on-board GPU (Rad 3300) is one of the fastest on-board GPU's on the market and it FLIES! |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardThis motherboard-CPU combo was a good deal, runs very fast! My only compaint is not only the temp at which it runs but the CPU fan noise. It is LOUD. Do yourself a favor and buy a new heatsink-fan that will keep it running cool and not sound like a small airplane is inside your PC. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardAfter much research, I put this in my first system. I couldn't be more pleased. I wanted to keep my costs down in case I screwed anything up and had to buy another part. Yet, I wanted a mobo that would be up to date. It figures I could've had a rebate if I'd waited 2 more weeks but it's still worth it. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardHad to return the mobo because it would not post. Tried many things I found on the web on how to get it to post but it just wouldn't work. My new board should arrive today and I will change the performance score after it does. That is if I can get it to work. |

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPUAt 140watts, you better have the wattage to soothe this monster (don't forget the VGC too) I bought this after this after a bundle buy of a AMD MB, the former CPU was maxs at L2 Cache of 2MB. This one offers a roundabout of 8mb cache, and my old PC, also AMD chip has a 512kb cache. You can see why I needed the (BIG) jump. LOL |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardI am a fan of ASUS motherboards. It has so many options that it is a good way to go. I needed extra PCI ports, that is one reason for this choice. I'm running a AMD Phenom II 3.2 and 8gb of memory on it and had a fairly easy install. ASUS customer service is slow to respond and hard to navigate the site to get help and don't supply much help in their replies. But that doesn't mean the board is bad. This was my first full build and was having two problems of the motherboard recognizing the drives and then setting up RAID. But with forums I got it running and very happy with it. So it isn't all ASUS fault for my problems. Very Happy with my choice. |

ASUS M4A78T-E MotherboardI have this motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHZ cpu installed. This board rocks, easily set up, and has a great number of features for those who wish to overclock. If you can read a manual at all, you can install everything and get it up and running quickly. I put the entire computer together and was up and running in about 2 hours. |
