Even XFX got their shit together faster than you ASUS, c'mon.
Asus has a market cap 875x BIGGER than XFX, they've lost sight of the consumer and know they can get away with it
Yeah, thats really pathetic from Asus, the fucking hetsink was loose on the strix (mounting pressure my ass) and the TUF is a joke. XFX gets much respect from me, also MSI did good job. From Nvidia side, EVGA gives great customer service.
SpinCycle oh you want a good product? Gotta pay that asus tax boi, REPUBLIX OF GAMERS!!!!
XFX only makes Radeon cards, so yeah they had to fix that. Asus doesn't care since their Nvidia cards sells more than the Radeon ones
Dont compare XFX with this shit aka asus pls
I think that it is unacceptable that ASUS continue to sell a product that has a potentially fatal flaw.
If ASUS valued their customers they would not continue to sell a ticking time bomb.
It'll just bite them in the ass, when all those cards come back for warranty replacement
They weigh the potential cost benefit of either continuing to sell or issuing a recall-either way they have a PR headache, and if they recall they're effectively announcing to the public that they screwed up, which tends to have a lasting impact on company image. You'd hope that they'd take that PR hit in return for presenting a consumer-friendly image, but sadly, investor-driven corporations very rarely lean that way.
@@auturgicflosculator2183 recalls hurt less than doing nothing at all. I'll tell you right now, this makes me want to avoid anything they make. I've felt the same way about MSI and XFX for years, they put out shit products and didn't stand behind them. I never bought from either ever again.
My asus strix r9 390 died before even an year of use , never bought an asus again ,been a customer of Sapphire ever since.
@@abdussamadaslam155 Sapphire rarely has the most affordable cards, and they don't always lead the pack in performance... but they're *NEVER* garbage~
It's not that TUF if it kills itself hey
Hey there Jarrod
@@abhirajbaruah4676 Hey!
it is TUF , if it can sustain above 100C on the memory till the warranty runs out 😁
more like a PUF
TUF = Thermally Unusable Failure?
How about spin-off channel "Steve's Shady Shed", where you fix poopy GPU designs 😁
No, it's not okay to continuously sell a defective product under any circumstance. For MSI and XFX, it's more or less okay because they're not defective, they were somewhat poorly designed. A discount there is fine as long as you're taking steps to also fix the core issue.
For Asus though, one of the biggest players in the tech industry, to only discount the defective product, offer no fix to affected buyers, then go on to sell their 5600 XT lineup at a $40-50 premium (the Asus tax), is just tone deaf.
Asus, and really any manufacturer, needs to remember that you're only as good as the products you sell. As far as I'm concerned when it comes to Radeon GPUs, Asus is the worst brand to consider.
Steering clear of ASUS products for Radeon products has been necessary for awhile now.
Not just radeon GPUs, their nVidia Gpus are also shit when it comes to low-mid tier range
their ASUS Tax or Gamer Tax rather for their ROG lineup has got to be the worst thing I've seen.
the 5600 XT lineup dosent have those issues,but you are right about the 40 dolla permium,they lost hella cred from that shit and i aint paying no premium on a brand that has failed to prove itself,if anything saphire deservers that premium,altough idk what their 5600 XT card is priced at,cuz they aint in stores.
@@LukjoJak they ain't bad at my local Micro Center. I still will champion PowerColor though. Seriously underrated GPUs.
Just discounting a defective product isn't good enough imo. Asus should have recalled all unsold stock and offered refunds/replacements with something else to those that had already bought one
nahhh.... that'll do
Asus probably
I asked no go. I asked for refund even suggested something better and I’ll pay the difference that’s a no go.
Isn't there some law that should prevent Asus from continuing to sell this card? It's a broken product. Imagine all the casual/average gamers who have no idea about this issue. They don't follow tech news etc. They simply go to the store, decide they need an upgraded GPU, buy the card and then install it. They play some games. A some point in the near future their system starts crashing. They have no idea if it's the GPU, cpu, memory, software etc. that's causing the issue. Asus is going to cause a lot of headaches for these customers. Shame on Asus, what a terrible company.
Asus is king of selling overpriced crap as "high end" products. Their motherboards have silly puddy "heatsinks" with claim that they are better than Gigabyte boards.
I find ASUS usually has shit hardware and a nice BIOS, whereas Gigabyte has decent hardware and a shit BIOS. :P
@@auturgicflosculator2183 with recent releases Gigabyte seems to have improved their Bios but still a longway to catch upto Asus. I have burned my hands before with Asus products never again.
their ROG branded hardware is usually considered to be top notch even by many UA-camrs using those boards they should bring down the parts and quality to lower end products
I think all of the brands have made mistakes in the past, it's how they go about righting their errors. I have a Strix GTX1070 as I got a good deal on it and have had 0 issues with it. Asus is back on form with a lot of their X570 boards, but I know some people were having issues with their B350, B450 and X470 boards. MSI, Asrock and Gigabyte have all had their fair share of crap products.
@@games4850 Yup, pretty much all the major brands have put out bad products or made products with flaws. And i agree, it's not so much the fact that they made a bad product or made a screw up, it's how they handle the aftermath of it. If they deny fault, try to pass the blame or just seem unbothered by the fact that they screwed up, that says a lot about a company. I always gain a bit of respect for a company if they take the constructive criticism, try to fix their mistakes and admits to dropping the ball.
It's really cool how UA-cam channels are really making a difference in the tech sector. This card would would have just stayed on the market and if you bought one you would have probably just been screwed.
Nice work finding these troubled products and making a difference for consumers.
i heard that nothing wrong with selling defective crap, according to some genius on yt
well you can always rma it duhhhh, at least that's how it sounded, i'd rather get something that just works instead of staying in rma circlejerk
104 degrees C.... That's TUF
In the case of delivering a brand new car that does run and can get you from A to B, but the coolant spills over and could cause irreparable damage if you drive for to long, would be cause for a recall.
in the case of delivering a brand new gpu that does run and can play games but the video memory overheats and could cause irreparable damage if you play for too long would cause for a discount?
"it has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it"
I still don't even see public disclaimers on the products available for sale, you can still sell something defective, as long as its disclosed.
ASUS sound like their trying to do the bare minimum, a company that gets that large would feel this is but a forgivable mistake.
XFX see this as brand tarnishing and would go above and beyond to win back the trust of their customer.
What a smart man!
It's honestly pretty surprising to me that we haven't heard anything about a potential lawsuit about this yet. The defective nature of this product is certainly more damaging to consumers than the GTX 970's deceptive marketing, although I suppose the class in this case would be much smaller given that it's just this one model of graphics card from a single board partner, as opposed to the GTX 970 which was a popular GPU used in many different models of graphics card across several manufacturers. That would mean the law firm taking the case on would be getting a slice of a much smaller pie, so there's less incentive to take it on.
You were right these are selling as hotcakes literally 😂😂😂😂
comes with pre-baking all of your pc components
Why are Asus still selling these cards ?
They should pull them off shelves, make a public admission of guilt, apologise.
And then offer owners a free upgrade to another model.
they are like apple, nothing to see here everything is perfect, here is some discount on us
Heh, upgrade to the model where the heat sink sags so much it uncouples from the hardware it's spose to be cooling? Asus is trash.
Ok. The upgrade to another model would still need an RMA, because those are the ones which have coolers not properly mounted. But hey, at least the design is working. ;-)
Asus can afford the loss and try again. No rhyme or reason for them to continue selling suched a botched possibly hazardous product
it's not dangerous, something that reaching a cooking temps in your pc is totally ok
again according to the jokers here, i just can imagine what happens to your motherboard that this card attached to, anything higher than 70 in my book is overheating and i won't have that in my pc
@@heisenberg1338 all satire aside, I am aware of it not blowing up. Just hyperbole. But for a compamy like asus to make this big of a fuck up cant be overlooked. I can only imagine what's happening to that poor MB
I'm surprised people don't see the secret message behind ASUS TUF cards...
The
Ultimate
Failure
Not enough validation? They claim these cards go through 144 hours of validation for the TUF and Dual models
The 5600X TUF costs 50€ over MSRP. They haven't learned
Asus is finished
I hope no one buys it, but I know many will.
@@BombaJead why would anyone buy 5600xt over 5700 anyway, they cost the same and 5700 is faster
5600xt is a stupid ass card
And never will learn since the world is populated by a bunch of idiots
@@enioapolinario8538 they probably have learned that the world is full of idiots, that's why they did this.
106 Where are the stakes i wanna game and grill at the same time XD
they should ship them as CHEF editions, don't have an oven, no problem, here is one with your videocard, free of charge, get a discount while you at it, why the hell not, asus is one generous son'f bitch i tell ya ;)
They didn't even offer to replace the cooler?
Because they can't. They messed up royally because the screws they use for the cooler are simply too small. So switching out the cooler wouldn't do much, if anything at all.
Great work on the Strix Steve. It's good to see Asus manned up for that issue after seeing your video.
im still pissed with asus....i got it just as shops closed for the holidays....if i had sold my old card i would have been screwed....
@SmashStomp Inc oh really... They are giving AMD a bad reputation... I was thinking of getting the thick 3 but not sure about AMD anymore also
SmashStomp Inc . They risk ruining their brand in general too. Regardless of this being an ASUS/AMD card problem, I'd be weary of them doing this with all their other products too.
@@Ray2001ify seems like powercolor is the only good amd cards these days, rest have all kind of annoying problems
XFX is a 200 Million dollar company, Asus is 175 BILLION dollar company...
Exactly why this shouldn't be wiped away. Asus is huge and sells almost all their cards at a huge margin.
I guess at an even lower price, the TUF could be perfect for enthusiasts who like to and have experience tinkering with coolers. Couple your solution with a slight underclock and undervolt tweak and it should be a cool and quiet card worth a little less than the rest of the 5700 XT lineup, but at a lower price. That is, of course, if the price comes down further as it really ought to for what is otherwise a defective product. It should be sold at a discount reflecting that.
EDIT: The remaining TUF stock should either be tweaked by ASUS before being sold or be clearly labelled at retailers as partly defective parts. A simple discount is not acceptable imo.
As for the 5700 XT saga, is this the end then? No more? That's a pity. I'd just started missing them.
I'm always wary of Asus these days, especially the budget end of the range. After having to deal with the lack of VRM cooling on their Prime motherboards in my ITX build causing random restarts I'd be wary of the cooling on anything they produce that isn't their top of the line ROG stuff.
sad really, i used to love their motherboards like the sabertooth fx990 rev1.0 and Sabertooth x58. Seems like they have fallen from grace.
@SmashStomp Inc well in my case it's msi that been good to me and unlike asus they owning up to their mistakes "cough" x570
Even their top of the line products aren't as good any more.
Whats your mother board? I have a prime b365m-a. Should i be worried?
@@TaskForceStudio It was a Prime A320 so should be no surprise it was junk, I just didn't expect it to be completely unfit for purpose.
How about testing some Arctic Accelero cooler? Thanks for this cheaper improvement option though :)
You should be able to use any after market cooler that supports the 5700 XT, but that's not so much a fix as it is an upgrade.
Lol , i remember " Timmy Joe PC Tech " Immediately !!! xD
@@Hardwareunboxed So their pcb is not a custom one?
accelero III and VI variants probably suits those high end card better than twin turbo variant.
although you'll need to put some thermal pads on the memory chips which will be covered by the mounting plate and paste some 0.5x1cm heatsink on the part of the memory chip that's not under them GPU cooler's mounting plate for optimal cooling.
AMD GPU has some memory modules that goes into the GPU cooler mounting area that would screw their cooling performance if you didnt put thermal pad(so it got contact to the GPU cooler mounting plate) AND heatsink on them when you decided to replace the stock GPU cooler with HSF GPU coolers.
Now, in UK, it's the cheapest 5700 xt, and you can get it for less than the cheapest 5700. It's probably the cheapest way to get a watercooled 5700xt.
asus shouldn't have released a product that kills itself, at the very least, they should have put out a fix like msi did for their evoke thermal pad thing, it doesn't have to perform better than the competition but like at least work, maybe something like a modified heatspreader and thermal pads
I have the 5700xt duel fan power color red dragon and after tuning it a little I managed to get the temperature lower bye 13% and run faster by 8% efficiency. Wish there was a tuning guide before I spent a day running benchmarks and making adjustments. ( hint - hint )
I bought the Asus TUF RX 5700 XT in early December. just finished running 30 min of an aida64 gpu stress test followed by 30 min of heaven benchmark.
Recorded With GPU Tweak:
Max temps: GPU 75, Junction 94, Memory 86, GPU VRM 71, Mem1 VRM 51 & Mem2 VRM 51
I may see if i can get a hold of F1 2019 and test that as well, i'll add those number if i do
Is it really so hard for them to test their product before releasing it?
Damn you guys are good and not only technically but also goodwill/good nature as well, helping people out and everything. I rarely say this about youtubers I watch. And Also thanks to your financial supporters as well.
The "TUF" has meaning of "spitting" in Arabic
So basically ASUS is just spitting out customers
My friend swears by Asus black and blue regardless of anything they do wrong. I don't go to his house much these days
I recon I've seen him in the comments section ;)
I mean I buy a lot of Asus stuff but have been swerving away from their GPUs, they have continued to raise their profit margin each generation and they still have a sketchy record. Shame. I just wanted my RGB to match!
I think they should have recalled the product or at the very least offered full refunds to those whose cards died.
It's a defective product, after all.
They are... Like there is still a 3 year guarantee on it.
I saw the reviews for this card and bought it for 200€, which in my opinion is a good price. After that I fixed it with an M.2 heatsink. It sort of works and is definitely better than stock. That fix costs about 10€
As i can see ;
- Asus (almost) has no issues when producing Nvidia GPUs
- Asus is producing Trash Gpus producing Amd GPUs....
WTF ?!!! xD
Actually, ASUS got some really terrible 1660/ti models as well
@@dmitrypoletaev7478 , I bought " Asus Rog Strix Gtx 1080 Ti OC Edition " in 2017. And i love so much this GPU has not any problem... But looks like i must think another GPU company for when i will buy " Rtx 3080 for 1440P Ultra Gaming ".... I wish Sapphire releasing GPUs for Nvidia becouse Nitro+ Gpus are amazing... :(
I have an ASUS 1660 ti that works really well and is quiet. It doesnt have a backplate though
@@ErenJaeg4R Wish EVGA made Radeon GPUs as well...
@@TTL_Tsaki , My problem is EVGA has not selling GPUs officialy in my country. And of course i dont want buy GPU without warranty. I hope Evga will open distributorship in my country, Then i can but EVGA Rtx 3080 :)
Asus didn't learn anything from EVGA's 10xx FTW cards when they first came out.
We had to recall all of our TUF 5700 graphics cards we had sold and applied this thermal pad fix. We used Arctic 1.5 mil thermal pads stacked. Keep in mind that thermal pads can be stacked with no negative results
5700xt is the same? I have a TUF near to blown. How many 1.5mm you stacked?
@@LU9ESD hey did you find which size to use ? 1.5mm for tuf 3 5700xt ?
@@alperb.4225 Not yet. We are in winter here so no problems so far. Have you do that? 1.5?
@@LU9ESD i tried 1.5mm and 2mm. Spent lots of money on 5700xt finally i sold it out. And bought an 6900xt. Happy for now. Not amazing. But ok . Using it with 5950x cpu.
Steve, do you guys have any plans to review the XFX 5700XT RAW II? Otherwise known as Black Wolf in Asia?
No ones reviewed that yet. I'm running one right now and love it, but would love to see someone do a full review and benchmark set.
@@thekikendallsautoandrandom1271 I'm also using one. Had to do a minor undervolt and an aggressive fan curve to keep hotspot and memory under 80c, but I'm not sure if the VRM sensors work. In afterburner, the VRM readout always shows zero. C, so I have no idea what the VRM temperature is.
I'm satisfied with the card, since it's the cheapest one that's generally available, but I want to know what the inside looks like without having to actually open mine up lol
@@Fishingishard I didnt undervolt but I did modify the fan curve something serious. Factory curve never got above 50%. Ramped it up to 75%@ 60c and 100% @ 70c. Seems like it kept the core and edge temps down significantly. Now only if radeons software would save the damned profile after restarting the computer. Have to reload my curve EVERY STINKING TIME.
@@thekikendallsautoandrandom1271 that sucks, mine saves. guess i'm lucky haha.
i am at P1 800mhz/750mv, P2 1449mhz/849mv, and P3 2099mhz/1124mv and fan at 45%/65c, 65%/75c, 75%/80c
Asus should have recalled the TUF 5700 and 5700xt, instead of lowering the prices so that retailers can sell the remaining bad cards to uninformed customers.
I agree with this.
My analysis is that it would be more or less impossible to catch something like this and spread the information fast enough if it wasn't for channels like you guys have. Very much appreciated to get this info from you. I can quickly warn anyone that asks me for Pc part tips and dampen the annoying process of forcing shops to give the money back for something that might otherwise not be approved or even admitted to be a faulty design. Great work guys. Great work.
Sure Asus.. we should pay like $400 for your GPU
Then, we shuld fix what you Screwed up..
Sod off Asus.. even the STrix which costs $50 more have seriuos issues
I'll stick with Gigabyte, Saphire and whatever have good "Testing-Before-Launching" custom GPU.. Copy & Paste your cooler from Nvidia to AMD is not a homework.. even the homework need to be adjusted if you copy it Lol
this is a faulty product that they are selling, someone should actually sue them
Well, ASUS seems to have fixed the TUF design for the RX5600XT. Only took about halve a year for them with a cheaper Navi 10 based card...
www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/52046-mehr-1080p-leistung-modelle-der-radeon-rx-5600-xt-im-test.html?start=2
But honestly ASUS, stop being the Apple of DIY parts. For years quality has been dropping, issues keep appearing and prices keep rising. This isn't the first issue or some fluke, far from it. It is becoming somewhat routine that ASUS has products with issues or questionable design decisions. They only acknowledge this because to many people complained about it. Now they go into damage control because there is no denying any more. Still they keep selling old stock of cards they know will die within warranty.
Asus are jerks. You should read there Newegg reviews. They keep acting like it's not their fault or it's not normal. But everybody can see tons of negative reviews.
It's disrespectful what they are doing. They should of just pulled the card. Instead let's get some people that don't Know any better to think it's a smoking deal and rip them off.
I did all that, and I also used pads on the back of the PCB for the backplate, seemed to help a small bit because it’s only plastic.
I will never buy ASUS anything again. I bought this card and now I had to take it out of my pc after crashing frequently. basically being ignored by ASUS and cant get any refund.
Now I don't want to even sell it on as it's not fair to the buyer.
As someone who had to deal with two defective Strix 5700XT's, absolutely not. I wouldn't wish this kind of torment on my worst enemies; I want to see all of these terrible cards sent right back.
Asus has burned my trust for them at a breakneck speed due to this incident. There is absolutely no way I'll be buying any Asus graphics card in the future. I know these issues are because they're much more focused on Nvidia cards, but I wouldn't even buy their Nvidia cards anymore. Either sell a non-defective product or don't sell one at all. And since Asus has proven they're unscrupulous enough to sell these defective products, I won't be buying them.
Is it MSI Afterburner that they use for monitoring? I can't find an option to show VRM and memory temps in there.
Me either! I was surprised as well to see that in the video. Is that maybe a AMD 5000 series excluse thing?
Remember: TUF = almost always trash
Gone are the days of the non-garbage TUF Sabertooth series.
The ASUS TUF models are still being sold in Europe for full price of 450€...
the tuf 5700xt is 360eu on amazon.de right now
Oh no this comment section... and I have PC build with Asus products, *cry*
Let's face it, some monkeys from ASUS designed the absolutely disastrous cooler for this graphics card.
thanks a lot for the strix update
1. Does it void the warranty?
2. After modification, Can it run Crysis?
People are trying to sell rhis card on ebay for over $600. Just thoughi would share the humor.
IME Asus' quality control is totally non-existent. I do not know how they have a good reputation after decades of pumping out total rubbish.
They should have completely recalled the TUF and issued full refunds because they didn't sell a bad product but a defective one. Though I know that is unrealistic.
Asus is big enough to replace all the cards, they are also big enough to ignore everyone complaining about the card. They choose the later which tells you what Asus thinks of you.
the TUF RX 5600XT they heave the improvment's and run mutch more cold, see the test that Bryan by Tech YES City make
ASUS should have put in place a buyback scheme. they are selling a defective product
these problems mean I going be to staying away from Asus Cards for a long time
So Asus blames amd for their shoddy srtix card? And they haven't pulled their defective tuf series off shelves and helped owners? It's as if they feel their brand is invincible...
as someone who owned multiple asus , yeah i give up them, asus on my blacklist of oem to buy from now
When a manufacturer sells a complete crap product you should make video after video after video showing off their box and their product.
Oh, wait. You've already done that.

Thank you for doing this Steve, I very much appreciate the time you put into this issue.
I'm unfortunately stuck with one of these graphics cards. While trying to get Asus to do something to fix these cards, I let them know that MSI and XFX both offered fixes for their faulty graphics cards. I receive the regular "we're sorry you're having trouble nonsense" but no actual help or fix.
I'm extremely disappointed in how ASUS has handled this and they've basically turned me off their products for life. Every one of these cards should be recalled and they should stop selling them immediately. I feel sick when I think that I spent $600 (cad) on this card. I remember saying to my girlfriend that I hadn't seen a review on them but how bad could it be, ASUS should know how to make a decent graphics card. Well I guess I've learned a hard and expensive lesson, never buy anything before you see review.
same fucking boat .
The never ending story of the RX 5700 XT cards from Asus.
I am glad i only recommended the PowerColor Red Devil to friends and family 😁
Well, the way they handled the situation makes them sink on the bottom of my list in considerations for future HW purchases. They can, of course, remedy that by proving they will have changed their attitude.
I picked up one of these for $400 AUD (this is very cheap over here) having completely forgot this was an issue, watched your vid for some ideas and actually did quite similar stacking pads to touch the heat spreader, but also using much larger heat sinks and managing to get my max memory temp down to 88c 🙂
So i heard you guys bought a 5700 XT from Asus.
TUF luck.
Last time i bought a asus card was r9 280x 😂
Those vendors should be paying you and Gamers Nexus for working as their quality control:D
I suggest you to review the tuf 5600 xt beacuse it looks like they fixed the cooler in the lower AMD model.
Never buying ASUS hardware again is the way to go.
Time to buy TUF 5700's and fix them to sell them for free money
*Stonks*
I’ve fixed mine a couple months ago and it’s really not bad at all now. But it’s still BS what I had to go through.
Hey HWUnboxed! How do you guys get the OSD values for the VRM and VMEM temps of the gpu on there? Looking to add them in to my OSD
Hi Steve, can I have one of your TUF 5700XT to tinker with? I just want a matching TUF GPU for my TUF mobo. ;D
Thanks, I will not buy another ASUS product ever again.
Mad respect to xfx for replacing the first Gen cards. I'm buying a 5600xt thicc ii pro as part of my build, in part due to that move!
Asus always makes bad radeon cards it's in their history with radeon GPUs and it should always be expected by them.
I normally really like Asus stuff. They really screwed the pooch on this one.
This has really destroyed asus's reputation for me imho. I doubt I will buy an asus product in the future. I can't fathom how such a flawed cooling design got through any sort of internal testing.
Sad that asus has no middle ground. It’s either overkill and expensive or cheap and same price as good cards/motherboards.
Asus is a large company and should replace the video adapters that have the heat issues you brought to light. Keep up the good work!
I remember getting my asus vega 64 strix and had to replace the thermal pad on a row of vrm b/c it didn't fully cover the last bit resulting in idles of >50. I mean it was a good learning experience to take it apart and replacing the pad dropped the thermals significantly, but that's terrible.
Not as cool as you, Steve, not as cool as you.
That is really odd, I could swear there was newer vBIOS for the card on Asus website, since I downloaded it before.
They really are killing the product since I can't find it anymore.
I suppose it is far beyond fixable with "efficient" vBIOS.
Asus has been riding on brand image and consumer goodwill built up over years past since Z170
Never been more proud to have bought an XFX card (rx 470 at launch ). If I buy another card that’s my brand now.
How about slapping an Accelero Extreme Graphics cooler on there ?
I wonder if one of those aio GPU coolers would fix it
THEY SHOULD SENT US A REPLACEMENT COOLER.
Keepin ASUS honest. Thank you Steve! It's nice to know someone is looking out for us consumers. You single handedly caused ASUS to fix their mess and take care of their customers.
but they didn't, unless you mean the discount lol
asus didn't fix shit, they keep selling them as is
Wait, am I having a Dejavu?
Just picked one of these up for $220.
Guess you could say the 5700XT has had some TUF luck this time around.
