They were pretty good a year or so ago. Now they don't even respond to support issues whether from the forum or from their webform.

Maybe you were lucky last year. I used Asus boards for several years and never had a good experience with support generally. Mostly due to flaky web sites rather than outright non-response to a submitted issue, but it was enough to make me give up on Asus.

I don't think any of the motherboard manufacturers will win any support awards. You just have to hope you can avoid their customer support entirely.

I bought a Gigabayte a couple of months ago and actually got a response to a question within 48 hours---more than I expected.

All fans PWM; speeds at idle: CPU circa 500 rpm; intake circa 600 rpm; exhaust circa 600 rpm; CPU temps 27 idle and 47 C load in a warm room (27 C/81 F) when running Intel Extreme Tuning Utility stress test.
I try to avoid any type chat, e-mail, or support tickets and instead always opt for phone calls when I need support. I don't own a Asus board, never did, but I'm sure Asus has a phone number to be reached. You can usually Google to find a good phone number.

Give that a try and call them; you're likely to get much better results then hoping someone actually reads the e-mail/support ticket.

My two cents.

I haven't had any issues with ASUS support...perhaps just a very busy cycle...

You may want to post your issues here and let the Guru's have a whack at it.

Asus support is a bit useless for issues.
All the rest seem as bad or even worse- for motherboards.
Phone calls may work better.

I had a question last August. Listed what I had tried to resolve minor issue which didn't work.
The reply was to do the exact action I already tried that didn't work. :(

Replied to their reply "I tried that" and never heard from them again.

Of course I then found the answer on Sevenforums. ;) :D
I've been here ever since.
