Talk:Soyo Group

Untitled
This is depressing. They made REALLY nice motherboards. They were one of the first to offer DDR for the socket 478 processors and their overall design was superior to a lot of the competition. They even did things like extend the back-plate beyond and underneath the ports with a mesh to offer an exhaust option to the computer without having a an exhaust hole. They were also one of the first to color code all of the PS2 outputs. I wish someone would get more information on why they actually went out of business. On some of their newer boards they also put HUGE heat sinks on the chip-sets, which provided excellent passive cooling for overclocking. The only reason I ever sold a SOYO motherboard was due to it becoming obsolete. They also honored their warranties, even under the most absurd circumstances. The drivers were a little hard to find, at times and were not the universal ones used for most Intel and Via-based chip-sets. Annoyed with fanboys (talk) 14:59, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * My Soyo motherboard uses Sacon capacitors which are known to be of low quality/reliability. They will eventually fail and need to be replaced if you want to keep using the motherboard. I've looked around a bit, and it seems like they used crappy capacitors in many of their products. My guess, they where washed out in the tsunami of complains/legal liability as a result of their failing products. Saved $0.02 in the short term, lost it all in the long term.Zaphar (talk) 21:21, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The system I built in 2000 using a Soyo mb (SY-K7VTA and a 750mhz duron) is still going strong. The only problem the system has ever had is the fan bearings are worn out.

Soyo monitor
I have had one of Soyo monitors for a couple years now, model # MT-PRTPT3208NB, I was mostly using it for my ps3. Now I am trying to connect it to an Ubuntu pc through HDMI and the desktop extends past the screen on all 4 edges of it. I know Wikipedia is probably not the best place to ask questions like this but it was the only google result relevant to that company I could find, I learned by reading it that it went bankrupt a couple years ago. Where can I ask the company to get support on my issue now? Most Ubuntu forums I went on could not help me with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgrenier25 (talk • contribs) 23:02, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
