reliability? other sites are commenting that the memory received is not as pictured. for example, memory chips not all being the same on the board or claiming to use samsung chips but actually it being something else. i dont know if this is all old...

installed and ran fine on my dell m4600, but started failing memory diagnostics 5 months later. requesting warranty return/replacement, and ordering corsair just in case...

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

Gigabyte supports card less than three years old just record card serial number should you need to call them. I've called them about their used cards I've purchased and have gotten good support. I'm using three of their video cards and a couple of motherboards and got excellent support on all of them. Haven't had to return anything so far, its always been software or installation issue. I've always had good luck with Gigabyte and will continue to use them for all my PCs. Good luck.

A lot of the memory products have incorrect photos attached to them on Amazon. Lots of S)-DIMM's (2.625" long) have photos of U-DIM's (5.25" long). Buy at your peril!

I had the same exact problem and have pretty much tried everything to resolve with no solution that works 100% of the time. In talking with Crucial, they will exchange the memory even if you didn't buy it direct. But how does one know which memory chips will work without this frustrating problem that occurs even when trying to hybernate or sleep? I've been stalling and hoping that ASUS would update their BIOS and memory handling abilities, but their support is useless for this.

I've ordered several of these from Amazon and whether or not it has mode memory is hit or miss. I got lucky with the first couple I ordered but the next set of 2 I ordered had no memory.

The inbuilt memory i have never tried, but should not be too long. I've ordered the 64GB SD card with it, you will have a few hrs recoring with that. Inbuilt memroies are always just a few MB...Greg

Never tried, but there's nothing preventing this, except, perhaps, finding the correct kind of memory module for the board. You'll have to find the correct module on the Internet, or just disassembling it to read the model/specs on the module.

I believe the general consensus is that to ensure no issues, buy the exact match for additional memory, if you can. If you can't buy the exact match, then speed and timings should at least match or come as close as possible. However, don't look at only the first number; look at the rest as well. I stuck 2 sticks of this memory in a new build. It works like a champ on an ASUS Z97-WS board with a water-cooled i7 4790k overclocked to 4.8.

Both boarsd I ordered were rev 2.1, which claims to support DDR3-1333 memory. The box should say which memory types it supports though.I should mention though that I couldn't even get this board to POST, with either one I recieved. It seems to be VERY picky about your hardware configuration and would not boot no matter what I did. Your mileage may very, but just a heads up.

Yes, correct. After my purchasing this unit, my colleague has bought two. One unit failed within a week. The other has been working well. I must say that after upgrading my laptop's BIOS the issues have gone. So, most likely the drive itself is not really unreliable. So, my advice to anyone experiencing problems is to check for BIOS upgrade, especially if upgrading to Windows 8.

Good question! But I never test this issue yet. But the way, this board run stably. Really worth of money. Only backward on less SATA ports & lack of USB3.0

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

Amazon forces sellers to join with other similar models. The page you are looking at is not mine but the one Amazon forces me to join and his/her is a clone and he/she admits it below in the question area, and I reported it to Amazon that it was a clone, but it's still here. Mine are 16gb N9002 and are genuine Samsung brands. Sorry for how I have to sell my phones I don't like it. You can do like I will be doing when the first one arrives. I'll download the Au Tu Tu Benchmark app and run that program. It will run tests on the CPU and such and report it's findings. If it's not a Samsung it will tell you whose it is. Plus not only do I offer a 30-day NO HASSLE return policy Amazon also will protect you against clones. So you can purchase with confidence or you can e go the Bay (if you catch my drift) and look for seller: hlkdestiny8804 where my ad is much clearer and the price is the same (but free shipping). I will get it first and if it's not genuine Ill be sending it back and fully refunding your purchase. I've had clones before and nothing but headaches and won't have anything to do with them as I'd rather be a happy seller than stressed with buyers complaining about those cheap phones. If you read my ad these are special ordered phones. I just can't keep up with the huge volume of sales and it's a unique model so I had to go special order only which takes 2-3 weeks from overseas 2 me 2 you. I will be placing a order tomorrow Saturday 1/25/14 around 3pm so if you make your purchase by then I'll add your purchase to this weeks order. My next order will be next Friday 1/31/14 after 3pm for those that purchase by that time, and so on. Thank you for your interests and it WILL be a genuine Samsung or you get a full refund. Rick

I ordered 2 from 2 different sellers and the same thing. At first I thought I didn't hook something up right but when I got the second and the samething happened, I figured it was from a line of defective products and when back to using my 2.5 core2 duo. If you don't buy it directly from intel, be leary of the discounted prices! Most positive reviews are lies by the sellers from fake accounts. Try contacting the seller and if they don't get back to you in 3 hrs. post a review of your experience and if they are con artists they ask you to remove the review.

Well I stayed on hold for 13 minutes for msi to finally end the call with leave a voicemail after the beep.I sent an email instead to there support and marketing dept. for an answer as this item is being marketed and sold with the memory upgrade on same page as the u120-001uS and u120-024us by amazon and newegg.so far no word or reply.
