I've never seen an ASUS system with some "ASUS" branding somewhere. I don't see anything on that case at all?

Looking at the sellers other ad, they list a motherboard for that one:

So they could probably look at it for you and tell you.

However, it doesn't appear like an ASUS system, so I assume it's using an ASUS board. They do not use proprietary connectors at all, all ASUS boards use standard ATX 24 + 4(or 8)pin.

yeah thats what im hoping for. maybe asus dont sell micro towers. got a i5 2400 that i was planning to upgrade this one with and upgrade psu.
thanks

They sell micro towers, but if it's an ASUS machine, you'll know it, however subtle the branding might be.

Eg.

That listing appears to just be a generic case, not an ASUS prebuilt. But likely has an ASUS motherboard.

You'd need to know the board, specifically to say with 100% certainty..... but an ASUS board isn't like an OEM offering, so if it supports a G2020, it should support a 2400. It's got an IvyBridge chip in it, so should support all SandyBridge + IvyBridge CPUs.

yeah your probably right , maybe the built them from spare parts or something. so they never use propietary in their mts?

 

[Barty1884]

I do not believe so, no.

The only time ASUS have gotten into non-standard layouts in recent years have been for their SFF like their GR8II systems and even then, they're using laptop-type components.

ok , would be good if fujitsu and hp would stick to that to. i found a hp 3500 pro instead of this one though for alil higher price but with 8 gb ram and standard psu so i will go for that one also support for 2400.
