hi
yes I know that, but every single new mobo I have ever bought has always had to have the time and date set......by me

Every mobo I've bought already had date and time set, I usually had to correct it by a few minutes but otherwise they were OK.

That is not right for an Asus board. They are shipped out of the factory with the default CMOS clock times (I have built too many systems with Asus boards not to know this). Not ONE Asus board I have had in my hands has had the correct time & date when purchased.

It could be a used board, or that the company could have set it up & tested it before shipping.
