@ZachsTechTurf I’ve been tryin to look at the pcs on your website, and I can’t seem to scroll through the restocked builds Are there only two? I guess I’m on mobile so that might be it but could you fix it?
I have an EVGA 3060 Ti that I love. I had no idea what went down between EVGA and Nvidia until I tried to find a 4060 Ti from them to upgrade with at some point :(
The worst part is, if you've ever tried to RMA something. They won't believe it came that way. You'll get "that happened due to incorrect cpu installation". Essentially blaming you. "No way it came like that".
@losi8ightyew as somebody who runs a manufacturing company, it's appalling that QC would he that bad. Of course we can't make every single piece 100% quality but we can make sure that nothing short of 100% quality gets sent to a customer.
ASUS has been pulling this shit since 2010. People on some old OC forums that dont exist anymore were getting bent pins. Asus responding with "its your problem, learn to install cpu properly." responses in email. Back then no one used social media how they do today, so it never got mass exposure.

I bought an Asus rog ultrawide monitor for around $750. Came with multiple dead pixels, they told me “it’s less than ten so we can’t replace it.” Id say they deserve it
To be fair though I think that’s actually a normal policy for every company that sells monitors.. Usually if it’s less than 5-10 I’ve heard it’s much less likely to get a replacement.
@@Justin-xi6ue If i receive a product and it isn't 100% fully functioning I'm either getting a replacement or my money back. You can't sell a broken product, there are literal laws against it.
@@bobbycasey7176 I mean you're right that it isn't fully functioning but technically it's still functioning. Unfortunately not all companies consider a few dead pixels or backlight bleed to be broken, and so it's not really worth it for them to even deal with. If they don't want to replace it best case scenario is probably a partial refund though at least. Personally I would probably just buy a new one in a better condition, and stick the old one in the box to return it to the retailer if I was desperate enough. 😅
@@Justin-xi6ue pretty sure that won't fly per European consumer rights. They would be 100% obligated to replace it or refund it if reported within 30 days. EDIT: There's a bit more nuance. 14 days, if purchase done online, return for literally any reason. Otherwise, the 2 year guarantee still applies, where, in my opinion, a monitor which has less working pixels than advertised is to be considered a faulty good.
I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth with asus since 2011 when I got a pc from them and they “replaced it” 4 times in a year for faulty parts. I ended up putting my initials scratched in a sticker to see if they even changed the part. They didn’t.
:I have to agree with you. ASUS really screwed themselves. Top shelf, premium component failure happening with increasing frequency. Not a chance I'll ever go near ASUS ever again. In my opinion, they're resting on their laurels. Do you remember about 2005-2006 when there was the bad cap fiasco with ASUS ? They lost a lot of die hard fans over that.
Asus was an awesome company back in the early to mid 2000s ... then 'gaming pcs' got popular and asus just started pumping out nonsense and shitting on their customer service.
I had to send a (4070 Dual) card in with a DP connector stuck in the slot, absolutely would not release, like there was a bur in the DP port or something, I could see the latches going down but it wouldn't come out. Figured worst case, out of warranty repair (wasn't THEIR DP connector I stuck in there!), $25 part with an hour labor to just slap a new DP port on the PCB and call it a day at like, $250 max after shipping. Got the quote back, $905. They wanted to just replace the entire card with another B-stock at full non-Retail price. Asked if that was a mistake, they were like nah, but if you've got a receipt we can try and mark the price of the replacement down to retail. Declined, had it sent back, took some tweezers and a magnifying glass and managed to get the DP connector out with a $5 pair of tweezers and five minutes. The card was less than two months old. Their RMA department is an absolute joke. Asus gets $0 of my money for the rest of eternity for that one. I would have appreciated an ATTEMPT.
Craziest thing…I literally searched “asus pc build” bc I wanted to do a majority ASUS build and his video was the top result 😂🤣 imagine planning to build $1200 a pc using ASUS parts and the first thing you see is someone basically saying “f*ck ASUS!!” 💀💀
For the time being. I guess this is why companies dont worry about youtube reviewers. Jay probably is 1million usd away from silencing his mouth. But Asus didnt bother
It's not just motherboards. I had three customers come into the store with broken Asus routers in one week. They're usually my go to recommendation, but now they're the last thing I try to sell people.
ive had 5 gpus sendt to me that was bricked from the get go. atleast here u have the law on ur side no matter what. so the 6th worked for 5 months then got a new again that still works. STILL...........
Thier laptops are crap too... Every one of them that I knew belonged to friends went bad or broke before other brands. Just junk. I won't buy anything they sell. All crap. Used to be good.
Back in the late 90's and early 00's, Asus were QC champs. In the 10's I noticed their QC dropping to gigabyte tier. Their products have also become exceptionally gaudy to boot.
Yep. Bought an ASUS back in the relatively long ago and had issues with it, replaced it with an ASRock Extreme3 board (first ever board I bought from them, can't remember which chipset) - that board received BIOS updates for ~5 years, every time a new technological feature came out (UEFI, then NVMe, etc..) ASRock would release a new BIOS to support it. Sold me on ASRock. The ASUS board I tossed got like one more BIOS update. Fast forward about a decade of only ASRock or MSI boards for my builds, and no real issues, I decided to try out the Crosshair VI Hero for AM4, thinking it would be a great board. Nope, it dumped too much power into the CPU and BIOS updates were sporadic at best. Eventually had to RMA it, so I bought an ASRock X570 Taichi... ASUS sent the defective board back and said nothing was wrong with it. They were wrong, it didn't survive putting another CPU into it, so I just tossed it and washed my hands of ASUS. Now I'm rocking an ASRock X670E Taichi and every system in my house is ASRock based.
cant relate, had a laptop of theirs for 8 years had to replace 1 fan after 7 years and also the screen but it wasnt really that hard to replace, fan was a slight pain ill admit.
@liamseven1604 every Asus laptop I've bought always just dies on its own through some issue after like 1 or 2 years. These were by the way work laptops, so I didn't install malware. I've switched to lenovo and haven't had as many issues.
@@liamseven1604 obviously YMMV, for me, it is graphics card and motherboards, somehow, ASUS's always dies on me, OTOH, I have gc and mb from other brands which are still working after 10+ years.
I only tried building with Asus once and Had to return to Micro Center twice because the first motherboard had missing caps sent out from the factory so the staff at micro Center said let’s just check this exchange to make sure it’s good before you drive nearly seventy miles back home. The staff opened the second box same issue as the first so they opened up a third one it had bent pins after that they let me get a more expensive Asrock motherboard that had even more features for an even exchange. This was back in 2012 and I have never tried to use another Asus product again. I’ve always had good results with asrock and msi.
Their reputation might be down the gutter. I think it would be good time to take advantage of that and buy up cheap asus motherboards... (just don't buy the one that has the problem)
The problem is they all have that problem. The amd problem where the cpu blows up is a bios problem, so it is on all of their motherboards. And if you download the beta bios that “fixes” it, it voids your warranty.
Mine came without problems, don't worry too much, tbh the mobo was really bad packaged (pins and solder points going through the plastic film) But it works. If yours doesn't just send it right back or do it immediately if you can afford a more expensive board for your needs.
their production quality monitoring is beyond awful , Bought their laptop and Jesus f ing christ , therma problems , degrading of graphics and other parts , graphical artifacting and glitches , reduced performance and fps stutter and FPS reduction over time , wont even talk about their terrible Armoury crate App ,and it hasn't even been more than a year , the laptob aged like milk in a mid summer day left under the sun with no shades to cover it , at first i thought i was one of the very unlucky ones after all it's "ASUS" ,this can't be that common but jesus , i read forum after forum about their faulty products including thier laptops and GPUs and other parts , i have tried every god damn DIY solution there is online to try to fix or improve the laptop to no avail , apparently worse than their parts is their warranty rules and customer service depending on where you live , i'm sorry but your motherboard proabably will barely outlive it's warranty if you're lucky , don't take any chances with your other part like GPU and CPU ,it may not just blow up tommorow , but the ominious ASUS count down has started , Regret is all Asus has brought for me , sorry for the bad english
When we stopped putting Asus components in our PCs, complaints and refunds decreased from 30% (in the case of motherboards from 40%) to 10% up to maximum 15%, that probably says it all.
Well, now that you mentioned this can you also clarify what other brands you used other than asus, cause this may kinda suggest the reliability of those. I'd appreciate it

My experience with ASUS: Bought a gaming laptop. I took it apart one day to clean it and investigate a rattle + vibration. Come to find out, hardly anything was screwed in and what was screwed in was loose. Oh, bonus points for the fan blowing the wrong way.
Makes me glad I got a Lenovo Legion, had no issues with it. I just use it as my Desktop PC at homr with an Alienware aw3423dwf and it runs beautifully. I'm actually impressed how well it does for a laptop, performance is pretty much on par with it's desktop equivalent.
@@Jake-0011 can attest to the legion that's the laptop i got after and it was so much quieter as well asus seems to have really loud fans or at least is always running on high.
Honestly, ASUS had issues with quality control for a long time now. Back when the Vega 64 was released and they started completely automating their production lines, that's the first time I had issues. I had 2 DOA GPUs, then 2 defective, then 2 defective Motherboards. I really liked their products (in regards to design, etc.) but when they break down constantly I don't want to use them.
Bro back in the day asus was one of the best manufacturers, still got a laptop my father bought in 2011, specs like an alienware from that era for less money, still runs great
I have Asus mobo and from time to time mobo decide that I experience surges and reset my pc , PSU fine , sometimes I get 3 reset per days like 2 days ago I had right that one was cause by Dredge = light way game , and since then I had no resets ... ASUS never change -_-
It feels like the same thing comes from 2 different production lines sometimes. One to get a working product out of the door and generate hype and the other to squeeze out some more money. Same for MSI. Just look how many motherboards have a version 2 that is a completely different board with just the specs on paper in common.
After both me and a friend of mine had problems with our Z170 systems I never bought Asus again, ironically enough I switched to Asrock and so far I had no idsues
@@damianosplay9457 Alienware are junk. GamersNexus has done reviews on a few of their computers, and they never get near their advertised specs. Alienware is Dell, and Dell only makes junk.
This isn't the first time ASUS had motherboard issues. Back when vista was being bundled in prebuilts, there was an hp media center pc that had an ASUS mobo in that was faulty and was known to die frequently.
Last time I ever bought an ASUS mobo was the ROG Strix B450 for my computer to upgrade it from a dirt cheap ASROCK MB. Started having issues with the machine just turning off. Checked Ram, graphics card, even the processor on the old board. Ended up doing research it ended up being ASUS software not playing nice with corsair stuff. Ended up just ditching ASUS entirely. I actually just bought an Asrock X670E mb for my new CPU. Despite how cheap a lot of Asrock stuff seems to be, I've had nothing but good things to say about it.
@@foxtrotgamerutube My last mobo was an asrock, can't recall the exact model but it was released around 2016/17 or so. I used it with an i5 6600k. That thing still works. Asrock seems like they always release stuff for cheap as that one cost me like 110-120 and their stuff never has issues. Currently using an msi which is my favorite brand but asrock is a close second when it comes to mobos.
The one time I've bought a recent Asus motherboard (TUF Gaming X570-plus WiFi), I've only ever had issues with it up until VERY recently. First, the board wasn't shipped with an even remotely up-to-date BIOS, and I bought it specifically because it said it was Ryzen 5000 ready, which was not the case at all when I got it. Since Asus doesn't have a BIOS flash feature that doesn't require any hardware like almost every other major brand does, I had to swap in an older CPU to update it which took like 3 hours total since I had to take a good portion of mine and my dad's builds apart since he's the only way I could get an older CPU to swap in without going to AMD or ASUS directly about it and waiting another week just to use my computer that I had just spent $2.5k on. Then, when I go to use the PC and check to make sure everything was working correctly, I noticed my RAM was at a fraction of the speed it was meant to be at and going into the BIOS, I saw that XMP (or whatever tf AMD calls it) was already enabled, changing it did nothing, and setting a manual memory overclock to the rated speed of my RAM caused some weird system instability, so I just left it alone (it defaulted to 2666MHz and the memory was rated at 3200MHz and it was still usable). I flashed my BIOS again like 4 months ago and it's now working fine with XMP. It's a huge headache that I've never had to deal with with any of the MSI or Gigabyte boards I've used over the years.
There are very few people online whose opinion I value but after watching Jay's videos for over 5 years now, I've learned to trust what he has to say. I'm gonna be steering away from ASUS.
I'm in the same boat. It's unfortunate because MSI motherboards with the same features are like 30$ more. But I'll begrudgingly pay 30$ for peace of mind.
@@ekayn1606 As long as you live in the states, but I found that when I go abroad, MSIs are the only MBs to die from power flucuations, even though I use a UPS. Do not take MSIs out of countries with reliable and smooth AC. Other than that I love them.

But by the time I almost did all the L2 level crap, I was finally sent to L3 who told me to send it in for an RMA. This was MONTHS later.

That’s when I stopped getting Asus products. When I saw them launch the ROG series, thought to myself, Oh shit they’re mainstream now… There goes customer satisfaction.
@@Yowgurto back in the early 2000s they were. for example: ROG was the first to put an LN2 mode onto their boards. They were also the first to put things like multimeter probe points on boards for extreme overclocking. They were also one of the few boards to allow you to turn off PCI-E lanes at the hardware level (again for extreme overclocking) And I may be wrong on this one but I also remember them being one of the first options to allow 4-way SLI in the early days (as it required fancy PCI switching back in the early days).
I remember how I discovered a HUGE issue on GTX 1070 Ti ASUS ROG STRIX once. They didn't make a proper heatsink plate for VRAM so it doesn't cover at least THREE VRAM CHIPS. I was forced to make my own plate using scrapped car amplifier because it had some material that I could use. It dropped temperatures by at least 15 degrees.
I've always had good experiences with Asus so it's unfortunate that all of this is happening now, gonna have to rethink things a bit next time I need a new build.
I'm in the same boat! Had ASUS monitors (I've only ever sent 1 back but the process was really easy) , Motherboards and GPU's in multiple builds. I like their products. It sucks that I'm seeing more and more negative feedback from people about their products, definitely will be considering other options for future builds. I had confidence in them and especially seeing Jay and GN show their experiences and others who have submitted theirs, it's making me reconsider my preferences. A lot of companies have issues at the moment so we just have to pick the best out of the bad bunch. 😢

@@skygazer2678 Gross overreaction by people who don’t even stop to think logically.

Doing it intentionally would be incredibly stupid because of point 1 and because the PR nightmare that would ensue is obvious and foreseeable. To argue that they did intentionally is to argue that they did what they know is illegal to save rma costs on a handful of boards despite having to know that the PR disaster would be massive and significantly hurt sales. To argue that it was intentional is to claim that ASUS intentionally acted against its own self interest because the list sales from the PR nightmare would surpass any savings from denied warranty claims.

I had to send a (4070 Dual) card in with a DP connector stuck in the slot, absolutely would not release, like there was a bur in the DP port or something, I could see the latches going down but it wouldn't come out. Figured worst case, out of warranty repair (wasn't THEIR DP connector I stuck in there!), $25 part with an hour labor to just slap a new DP port on the PCB and call it a day at like, $250 max after shipping. Got the quote back, $905. They wanted to just replace the entire card with another B-stock at full non-Retail price. Asked if that was a mistake, they were like nah, but if you've got a receipt we can try and mark the price of the replacement down to retail. Declined, had it sent back, took some tweezers and a magnifying glass and managed to get the DP connector out with a $5 pair of tweezers and five minutes. The card was less than two months old. Their RMA department is an absolute joke. Asus gets $0 of my money for the rest of eternity for that one. I would have appreciated an ATTEMPT.

Everyone seems to love ASUS, but over the last 2 DECADES, all my purchases from ASUS always ends in tears, never again.
Ever since my Asus G53SW from 2011 i kinda was put off by them.
Yep. Bought an ASUS back in the relatively long ago and had issues with it, replaced it with an ASRock Extreme3 board (first ever board I bought from them, can't remember which chipset) - that board received BIOS updates for ~5 years, every time a new technological feature came out (UEFI, then NVMe, etc..) ASRock would release a new BIOS to support it. Sold me on ASRock. The ASUS board I tossed got like one more BIOS update.
Fast forward about a decade of only ASRock or MSI boards for my builds, and no real issues, I decided to try out the Crosshair VI Hero for AM4, thinking it would be a great board. Nope, it dumped too much power into the CPU and BIOS updates were sporadic at best.
Eventually had to RMA it, so I bought an ASRock X570 Taichi... ASUS sent the defective board back and said nothing was wrong with it. They were wrong, it didn't survive putting another CPU into it, so I just tossed it and washed my hands of ASUS.
Now I'm rocking an ASRock X670E Taichi and every system in my house is ASRock based.
cant relate, had a laptop of theirs for 8 years had to replace 1 fan after 7 years and also the screen but it wasnt really that hard to replace, fan was a slight pain ill admit.
@liamseven1604 every Asus laptop I've bought always just dies on its own through some issue after like 1 or 2 years. These were by the way work laptops, so I didn't install malware. I've switched to lenovo and haven't had as many issues.

I only tried building with Asus once and
Had to return to Micro Center twice because the first motherboard had missing caps sent out from the factory so the staff at micro Center said let’s just check this exchange to make sure it’s good before you drive nearly seventy miles back home. The staff opened the second box same issue as the first so they opened up a third one it had bent pins after that they let me get a more expensive Asrock motherboard that had even more features for an even exchange. This was back in 2012 and I have never tried to use another Asus product again. I’ve always had good results with asrock and msi.
Asus is in the "find out" phase now

Their reputation might be down the gutter. I think it would be good time to take advantage of that and buy up cheap asus motherboards... (just don't buy the one that has the problem)
The problem is they all have that problem. The amd problem where the cpu blows up is a bios problem, so it is on all of their motherboards. And if you download the beta bios that “fixes” it, it voids your warranty.

@@Jake-0011 can attest to the legion that's the laptop i got after and it was so much quieter as well asus seems to have really loud fans or at least is always running on high.
Honestly, ASUS had issues with quality control for a long time now. Back when the Vega 64 was released and they started completely automating their production lines, that's the first time I had issues. I had 2 DOA GPUs, then 2 defective, then 2 defective Motherboards. I really liked their products (in regards to design, etc.) but when they break down constantly I don't want to use them.
Bro back in the day asus was one of the best manufacturers, still got a laptop my father bought in 2011, specs like an alienware from that era for less money, still runs great
I have Asus mobo and from time to time mobo decide that I experience surges and reset my pc , PSU fine , sometimes I get 3 reset per days like 2 days ago I had right that one was cause by Dredge = light way game , and since then I had no resets ... ASUS never change -_-
It feels like the same thing comes from 2 different production lines sometimes. One to get a working product out of the door and generate hype and the other to squeeze out some more money. Same for MSI. Just look how many motherboards have a version 2 that is a completely different board with just the specs on paper in common.
After both me and a friend of mine had problems with our Z170 systems I never bought Asus again, ironically enough I switched to Asrock and so far I had no idsues

This isn't the first time ASUS had motherboard issues. Back when vista was being bundled in prebuilts, there was an hp media center pc that had an ASUS mobo in that was faulty and was known to die frequently.
Yep! This to the max man.
Last time I ever bought an ASUS mobo was the ROG Strix B450 for my computer to upgrade it from a dirt cheap ASROCK MB. Started having issues with the machine just turning off. Checked Ram, graphics card, even the processor on the old board.
Ended up doing research it ended up being ASUS software not playing nice with corsair stuff. Ended up just ditching ASUS entirely. I actually just bought an Asrock X670E mb for my new CPU. Despite how cheap a lot of Asrock stuff seems to be, I've had nothing but good things to say about it.
@@foxtrotgamerutube My last mobo was an asrock, can't recall the exact model but it was released around 2016/17 or so. I used it with an i5 6600k. That thing still works.

Ended up spending a little more money on my build because I intentionally avoided asus products over what’s been going on with them
The one time I've bought a recent Asus motherboard (TUF Gaming X570-plus WiFi), I've only ever had issues with it up until VERY recently. First, the board wasn't shipped with an even remotely up-to-date BIOS, and I bought it specifically because it said it was Ryzen 5000 ready, which was not the case at all when I got it. Since Asus doesn't have a BIOS flash feature that doesn't require any hardware like almost every other major brand does, I had to swap in an older CPU to update it which took like 3 hours total since I had to take a good portion of mine and my dad's builds apart since he's the only way I could get an older CPU to swap in without going to AMD or ASUS directly about it and waiting another week just to use my computer that I had just spent $2.5k on. Then, when I go to use the PC and check to make sure everything was working correctly, I noticed my RAM was at a fraction of the speed it was meant to be at and going into the BIOS, I saw that XMP (or whatever tf AMD calls it) was already enabled, changing it did nothing, and setting a manual memory overclock to the rated speed of my RAM caused some weird system instability, so I just left it alone (it defaulted to 2666MHz and the memory was rated at 3200MHz and it was still usable). I flashed my BIOS again like 4 months ago and it's now working fine with XMP. It's a huge headache that I've never had to deal with with any of the MSI or Gigabyte boards I've used over the years.

I remember how I discovered a HUGE issue on GTX 1070 Ti ASUS ROG STRIX once. They didn't make a proper heatsink plate for VRAM so it doesn't cover at least THREE VRAM CHIPS. I was forced to make my own plate using scrapped car amplifier because it had some material that I could use. It dropped temperatures by at least 15 degrees.
ASUS been the only GPU I've ever got DOA.
Had to send my motherboard back to them twice because it came with scratches deep enough to break the connections
Lmao watching this after my Asus board died
I've always had good experiences with Asus so it's unfortunate that all of this is happening now, gonna have to rethink things a bit next time I need a new build.
I'm in the same boat! Had ASUS monitors (I've only ever sent 1 back but the process was really easy) , Motherboards and GPU's in multiple builds. I like their products. It sucks that I'm seeing more and more negative feedback from people about their products, definitely will be considering other options for future builds. I had confidence in them and especially seeing Jay and GN show their experiences and others who have submitted theirs, it's making me reconsider my preferences.
A lot of companies have issues at the moment so we just have to pick the best out of the bad bunch. 😢
The only thing ASUS benefits for us gamers now is being a competitor for innovation. ASUS has some insanely cool devices but they’re not about the customer anymore they’re about their brand. Companies like Valve and ASRock deserve our money more
Asus tax. Apple tax.
Asus and ASRock are owned by the same company.
Is ASRock good now?
@@emirobinatoru me personally I haven’t had issues with it, but I saw a couple channels. Jays included say ASRock is definitely getting better.
@@bikinibottom_hoodclips Not anymore.
asus been real shitty recently
Bro Asus still alive in 2023 is the real surprise here
And the final reason why (which you did not state), was because of the company culture on how asus handled the situation of the burnt CPU
What did they do?
@@EllRiverthey pushed an update for bios of those motherboards saying it can possibly fix the problem keyword here is possibly, which means it is not confirmed and tested enough to make it 100% working fix.
Not only that they also said, if your motherboard is under warranty and if you apply that fix update to your motherboard it will void your warranty.
@@skygazer2678 but they also said it wont void your warranty for that issue
@@tired5925 idk, I am just telling what I know from the Jay's video. There he said after applying that fix update, it will void the warranty
@@skygazer2678 Gross overreaction by people who don’t even stop to think logically. The beta bios warranty issue can only be rationally explained by it being an honest oversight and posting the standard disclaimer.
1. A manufacturer solution to a warranty/recall issue cannot void a warranty. There’s zero benefit to even trying because of 2.
2. Doing it intentionally would be incredibly stupid because of point 1 and because the PR nightmare that would ensue is obvious and foreseeable.
To argue that they did intentionally is to argue that they did what they know is illegal to save rma costs on a handful of boards despite having to know that the PR disaster would be massive and significantly hurt sales.
To argue that it was intentional is to claim that ASUS intentionally acted against its own self interest because the list sales from the PR nightmare would surpass any savings from denied warranty claims.
My first ever build I used a Asus MB but it never turned on. I was so confused and assumed that it was my own fault, so I took it to a PC build and repair shop to see what was wrong. They did a complete tare down to see what happened and basically told me I got a faulty motherboard and that it basically blew up every single part in my tower. Quickest 2.5k I have ever lost, never trusted them again.
that genuinely hurt to read
Just buy another brand motherboard, then you are good to go?
@BaMbOoZeD read again.. OP said all other parts got fried
@@earthlingx5267 Ahh dang it, that sucks then 😐
Never had any issues running AsRock boards so I stuck with them for my new build
1 year later, things are only looking worse after Steve's recent review of their customer service
I bought a Asus gaming laptop maybe 15yrs ago. Dropped close to 2k it was on sale. Came with an exceptionally long warranty at the time. Hard drive and motherboard failed 8 months later. They wouldn’t warranty shyt! I haven’t touched anything from their brand since!
This week nearly 2000 customers with ASUS wifi routers of our local ISP fiber internet provider lost access to the internet. It was hell. It took so long to bring internet back online.
Seems more of a firmware issue, not the router itself. I have a rt-ax88u. Works perfect 👌
Looks over at your new strix board 😅
had troubles with asus MB's too...
I was going to build another Asus PC but ended up going with ASrock because of this problem
ASrock is pretty much knock-off Asus anyway (and I mean that in a good way.) My first build had an ASrock Mobo because they were affordable at the time (2012ish.)
@@NoVaKaiNeProductionsasrock was made as a spinoff of asus by the cofounder of asus
@@apothic0n I sorta knew that, but didn't know if it was just one of those things I read on the internet, or if it was actually true.
Bend pins on Asus motherboards have been an issue for years, and you'll always get the run around trying to get it RMA'ed.
bent pins and a dead no post board went gigabyte and that was in the Z97 days still run gigabyte 0 problems yet
I had the same issues when it came to sending mother boards back when I was team intel
Thanks a lot basshunter! I was about to buy G18 strix model…the coil sound got me bad
there were multiple other incidents as well, one of which was a capacitor installed in an opposite polarity in multple boards of one type that caused actual fires in PC blocks
Oh god, I can imagine the short circuit out of that...
Explain
That beta bios update after melting chips was the last straw
The beta bios that also voids the warranty if you use it.
Was just about to pull the trigger on a strix x670e. Guess it’s back to the drawing board for me😅
I bought an asus tuf a17 laptop and it died out of nowhere after 7 months of use. The laptop was in warranty so i contacted asus services and they denied my warranty by saying that you opened the case of the laptop for expanding the ram. They were charging me with 90% of the money which i spent on buying the laptop so i obviously refused to pay.After that i threw the asus laptop in the garbage and bought dell g15 . Never going to asus products again in my life.
did you rescue the memory and m.2 ssd from it?
also it probably wouldve been nice to recycle the screen so you get a DIY 2nd monitor
