ASUS CG8580 technical issues prior to purchase

[Szajda]

Thought too hear about ASUS CG8580 technical issues prior to purchase

A) I would like to know which motherboard included in the ASUS CG8580.
The information I have found on the net that it is an Asus P8Z77 - V Pro Series, is that correct?

B) How much memory can I have in (Asus P8Z77 - V Pro) I have been told that the ASUS CG8580 only manage 16Gb while Intel Z77 chip and motherboard Asus P8Z77 - V Pro can handle 32 GB of memory?

C) How many internal hard drives can I connect the ASUS CG8580?

D) Can In future replace Video card to any new ROG Graphics Card? without breaking the warranty?

E) Where can I buy extra warranty for an ASUS CG8580 in Sweden?

No one here on the forum who own an ASUS CG8580? or know someone who owns one?

Hi Szajda,

Sorry for the late reply.

> The motherboard is based on the P8Z77-V series, similar to the Pro but not exactly. It's had some modifications to suit the CG series on-the-fly overclocking.

> 32GB Max. The most we ship it with is 16GB I think. It's highly recommended you buy a single 32GB kit or try to match the specs of the shipped memory as best as possible to maximize compatibility.

> HDD.. I can't remember exactly sorry. 😞

> The warranty may change due to local laws, however I think it should be OK to upgrade the CG in normal means - PCI/PCIe cads, SSDs, HDD, memory. Further dismantling of parts like the CPU cooler would be more questionable though. Any case modding like cutting/breaking etc is obviously a no-no to the warranty though. 😉 Best ask on our ROG Nordic Facebook page for specifics there and where to buy.: https://www.facebook.com/rognordic
