question about asus motherboards

[dsj]

My asus mother board overheated my cpu to over 90 degrees celcius. Then I sent it for RMA. Their customer service was horrible, the I had to wait half an hour on the phone every time. Then the sound was very distorted. Their Rma took a month where the cpu came back in a week. Then I seemed to have gotten a fefurbished one in a paper card box where AMD gave me a new brand new cpu. And that was janurary. Now is merely april, the mother board worked for 3 months and now it starts heating up again, when I'm on the desktop for a few minutes the cpu temperature rises to 65 degrees celcius! Are they going to give me a half assed board everytime I go to them and works for 3 months then overheats unitl the warranty is over? When I tried all of my parts in a computer shop on their motherboard, when running games like morrowind and ut2004, the cpu temperature was under 45 degrees! Is that what kind of a company asus is? The board by the way was an A7n8x-deluxe.

does that mean that the asus motherboards are not good? Now I am looking for the albatron board.

I have an ASUS P4S800MX and it's running good since my very old Jetway mobo burned out on me. My ASUS mobo is a microATX , this is an unplanned purchase. I was going to buy a different ASUS mobo or going to get DFI Ultra-D. ASUS if you won't overclock to the max or DFI if you want to squeeze all the juice out of your CPU and ram.

Is this due to the motherboard qualities?

isn't cpu overheating related to heatsink? are you running the stock one? did you overclock?
