It is an updated version from the G53JW. The G53SW comes with the new Sandy Bridge processor and a little more RAM. Other than that they are pretty much the same. Cheers.

I'm using this mobo with unibeast. Integrated graphics work great. The Wi-Fi doesn't work but everything else does. I found my multibeast settings from a post.

Most Asus Socket 1150 boards do come with bridge and support SLI. This is not my latest board. Your Best Bet is to contact ASUS Tech Support: 1-812-282-2787. Some of the best, knowledgeable, eager-to-help support ever. Monday - Friday, 5:30AM - 11:00PM PST and Saturday - Sunday, 6:00AM - 3:00PM PST. You'll definitely get your questions answered there. Good Luck!!

G.Skill memory, while fantastic, is not compatible with this board. Check out Memorystock or some other similar site for memory that will work. I have had exactly the same issues myself. Once I got compatible memory it fired up like a champ.

I would not be able to exactly respond to that because I use a asus z87 pro motherboard and I do not understand what the problem with the gigabyte motherboards and this psu were having...I would check on google and I am sure if you look into some more recent forums and or threads you will get your answer. I will even take a gander seeing as I have the day off and then I will get back to you about when I find out about the motherboards.

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

The Motherboard I purchased was for an AMD processor on my HP dv7 laptop. It had some issues, too. It wasn't new. Had hair, dust and even a few fingerprints on it. It had to be flashed. So expensive, I'd never recommend it unless you are desperate.

The motherboard I have for sale should have version 4701 dated 2014/06/23. It was just returned from ASUS support as an RMA replacement and is certified 'like new' by ASUS.

Hi again, I checked ASUS web site after reading a post about problems with 4 gig sticks. There is a bios update to address memory compatibility issues and also a USB issue.Dan

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

The model probably needs to be sent to ASUS to be fixed. I had the same issue when i had bought mine brand new. Even after ASUS fixed it it has always been dead slow.

Don't feel bad, I'm in the same predicament. Only they did actually cover mine after calling and emailing everyone I could find to do so. It took 19 days to turn my computer around when they advertise 3. (not including shipping) Now that I have received it back, it is still broken. So, I guess I get to start the whole process again. Never again ASUS. Never again.

Yes only socket LGA2011 CPU's though. Sandy Bridge is just a code name for Intel Processors.BTW I do not recommend this board after 2x DOA's brand new.Just saiyan..

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if there's some problems with my video card hardware, now it seems to be the driver's problem. Luckily other programs works normally. I submitted this problem to ASUS support 1 month ago but get no responce. All we can do is just wait ASUS to update the graphic driver and hope the new driver can fix this problem.

You need to take it to next level and complain to their supervisor or above since this is an expensive motherboard. Why are they sending you refurbish boards? It's no wonder why they all DOA
