Finally got around to ordering my new (first) build and after getting everything together the board would not post (everything powered on, drives, board, fans, GPU, case, etc.., just no video and no beeps), troubleshot it and ended up call Asus tech support and they told me to RMA the board and if that does not work, I should RMA the CPU. Sent it out and am wait for it's return but now I am starting to second guess myself on compatibility mainly because after doing some more research my specific processor model number is not on asus's site for compatibility with their board (the 635 is, just not the ADX635WFGIBOX model) and I'm under the assumption that a board wont post if the CPU doesn't jive. So, can I get some feedback from all ya'll.
