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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
