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.

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.

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 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.

Got a 2019 asus viviobook x512d. Just replaced my thermal paste, upgraded to a 1tb ssd and upgraded the ram from a 4gb chip to 16gb chip +the 4gb soldered ram. My only complaint is that the ryzen 5 3500u cpu is soldered in place and it only has 1 ram slot. Its never given me any problems, however it is only used for work spreadsheets and playing runescape. Have played RuneScape on it 18hour straight and it never gets hotter than 65°c

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.

: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.
Had ts happen to me
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.
if they won’t replace a broken product you receive broken just charge back on your card
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.

Yes it will effect the company. I finished a build earlier this year and avoided their MB because of this and am planning another build and making sure I avoid them still.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Waited for it to come in, opened it up, and had bent pins. I bought an MSI motherboard after returning it instead of asking for a replacement and no issues whatsoever.
Ive only installed two Asus motherboards in the last 20 years , the first one was DOA in 2002 and replaced with a Gigabyte that still runs to this day. The second one in 2010 lasted 6 months before hitting the grave replaced with an MSI also running to this day.
Mine is still working after 10+ years.
I am genuinely impressed how well Gigabyte parts have held up over the years.
msi is asus
gigabyte is solid! i have mine for 7 years and it has been abused.
@@The99x99i looked that up and while they do help each other out with some parts they are 2 seperate companys
If you watch any PC repair channel on KZhead, 90% of the time they repair shorted Asus laptops. That says a lot.
ASUS build quality today is indeed questionable. Unlike on the 2010s era, their build quality is insane. Just check your local PC/Laptop repair outlet. Ask them what brand got most on the list. Yes, ASUS
@@ZAcharyIndy I had one p67 gold board back in the day and it burnt itself. Went back to asrock then aorus and I've never had any problems.
Oddly enough their ROG phone hasn't had that much problem surprizingly
@@mayuravirus6134 phones don't have problems as laptops do unless if the owner damages the phone. Phones and laptop are built different from inside of course, phone were built to handle heat while laptop fails to and laptop collects more dust but it is easier to open up laptop than removing back of the phone.
Jay and GN saved my new build. I was gonna use a Asus mobo with a 7900x3d. Saw their videos and decided to go with old reliable, ASRock.
Mine came with bent pins, and yet somehow it's not covered under warranty for repair. Made me pretty upset. Last time I buy from them
I had to deal with Asus support a few times back in the early 2k. They kicked ass. Then late 2020, I had a problem on one of their $300 mobo under warranty. They ran me through all the "replacing RAM, unplugging cards, re-install cpu, etc" even though I told them I have done all that. But no problem, I did the same. 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.
well, in EU you don't have to do any of that crap, just send it to the seller with the invoice and they'll just give you a free one
Same I lost over $600 from a faulty mother bored. I had to sent it in and they “fixed it” and sent it back and I had to resend it again cause it wasn’t fixed so they “fixed it again” and then it killed my i9 9900. So I just bought amd shit after and havnt had any problems sense

ASSUS has an issue with their laptops where the drives die randomly. When you call for a repair, they put in a new drive, which is just putting a bandaid over a hemorrhaging artery really. They wait until the warranty expires and then they tell you “Oh, it’s actually the motherboard. You’ll have to pay an absurd amount of money if you want us to fix this issue we’ve known about that’s been present since day one.”
Yeah, Jay’s videos has helped me every step of the way in my own build, I will avoid a product if it is poor quality in his opinion.
I'm sure this will effect them at least a little. I just hope it's enough to make them get their sh*t together. I wish they just handled it better tbh

Ive been going with MSI components for the past 16 years. Never had a dead part
Msi is goated ngl, i still have a build from 2016 with a msi mb gpu and power supply and its still working, my new build also has a msi mb and power supply and also no problems at all
Honestly MSI logo and design gives me cheap china vibes, but they have never failed me with any component
The best feature is that MSI boards can use ram of ANY firm. While ASUS can use only ram of "certified" firms... This was a punch from Asus then I wanted to test ram of different cost\quality.
Overpriced imo
@@fpscanada3862It give me the same cheap Chinese vibes too.
I feel the same way. When I got one of the z690 hero boards with the reversed mosfet, I had to rma it 3 times for them to finally get me one that worked. And then down the road it fried my 12900k.
Never had any issues running AsRock boards so I stuck with them for my new build
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 😐
Had the same problems with an Asus board that came with bent pins. The company I bought it from just blamed me for the bent pins and I couldn't get a refund...
you didn't argue hard enough
@@fuggly-qg9on it's Asus man , once you boought their product you're done
@ulrohermit1369 : They're not much interested in defective product or reputation. They're resting on their laurels with little consideration for the long term effect of their actions. My proffered board is MSI. That came about due to the A-bit crash & burn. Soyo had some interesting designs. I also liked the Hercules 3D Prophet & BFG Asylum graphics cards. Damn, I'm old as dirt.
My previous build had a rog strix mobo. It had multiple bent pins on bottom. Most of them included the f_panel pins.
Lower the core voltage for an easy fix. Overheating is a very old issue with all mobos
I was screwed by ASUS a decade ago when they promised a upgrade to Windows 7 and did nothing and were unreachable.
Man I’m glad I saw this because I have my “cart” full of ASUS products for a pricey build. 😅
Trust me, drop Asus, I'm not hopping on the train, it's from experience.
Your going to see it with them all these guys for the most part are sponsored
Trust me they are great! I have never had a problem with an ASUS product and have been using them for over 10 years. My uncle can also confirm this and he has been using them since they were a startup.
Noooo i just brought Asus prime motherboard and i guess it good
Go for a different brand. Trust me. I'm partial to MSI personally.
about two years ago now, I had a bad run-in with a few Asus motherboards as well. I think the count was 3 different mobos that were defective upon receiving them. I still use Asus tho. they replaced the defective mobos without much of a hassle.
I mean my most recent Asus strix motherboard has been shitting itself with the audio literally exploding my speakers. With me exploring their forums for a week and weekend now.
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.
I have a 7yr old Asus laptop, and no problems. Slowly dying. Have to rethink replacing the motherboard and going back to Dell.
I found out it was pronounced "A-SUESS" back in 2014, and I STILL pronounce it "A-SUS" to this day. It will always be SUS to me
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!
ASUS been the only GPU I've ever got DOA.
I’m a computer nerd and work on computers for some high end brands, mostly laptops nowadays because of business but still. Ironically my pc broke and I was trying to diagnose, I didn’t want to take it apart just yet as it was late at night. I called asus to see if there was any asus motherboard specific troubleshooting steps. I was told by customer care “ you can send in your motherboard but it’s not the motherboard your motherboard isn’t broken “ he told me this at the beginning of the call. I respect the brand but you can tell like a lot of other fields they rot from the inside out
ASUS has been a joke since their founding. Just finally got a guy calling them out as they should be
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?
@@obamajoestar3233 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.
I have not used any ASUS products in a few years but their ROG series used to be the pinnacle for performance enthusiasts.
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.
and the ROG motherboards are the ones that break the most... :/
Wait "pinnacle of performance enthusiasts" dude😂 do you hear yourself.
@@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 a few years back doing some overclocking on the i9 9900k and i7 7700k and two different Asus motherboards killed two 7700k gold chips within like 20 minutes of each other. Then Buildzoid just just said something along the lines of : "Asus does this sometimes" and just turned back to his LN2 run on a MSI board.
I recently built a new gaming rig, and I avoided all Asus parts because of all this.
The only Asus product I own is a 2015 1440p 144hz monitor, and it still works well today. Maybe they gained a reputation for their products in the past?

Yeah Asus started building respect over years and over the last 5 years they ve been loosing it 😂
Love my Asus b650e-f, it never damaged my 7900x and I get timely bios updates
Got myself a 7800x3d Asus TUF mobo and an asus 7800xt. They have been amazing for months now.
I love Jay's channel. Knowing Asus is doing this I won't touch them
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.
i actually hope it does effect them n makes them change up n do the right thing!!!!
Bent pins can in general be easily straightened out. 🤔😕😊
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. 😢
Man I hope it makes a company big as them change from ripping people off to making well what they claim to!!
Has this issue with the motherboards overheating got fixed as of 2024?
Well if you find out let me know
As an ASUS User from 2017 until now, i’ve used the Asus Laptop X550IU and Asus Laptop TUF F15. Both had the same problem with the Wireless Connectivity ( WiFi and Bluetooth ) both randomly dissapear when bumped or just idle. The same problem happened to my friend using the Asus TUF A15.
Same with my Strix Scar 3, mf overheats a lot out of the box, had to repaste to fix the issue. I do experience Bsod every now and then too. I'm never gonna buy a laptop again but if I'm going to I'd rather go MSI.
mine never did that, it always connected and its been 3 years, i have the A15 Ryzen 7 4800H and RTX 3050Ti, 16GB ram and 1tb ssd
I hope it does. I'm no longer using Asus. I trust Jay.

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
Got a 2019 asus viviobook x512d. Just replaced my thermal paste, upgraded to a 1tb ssd and upgraded the ram from a 4gb chip to 16gb chip +the 4gb soldered ram. My only complaint is that the ryzen 5 3500u cpu is soldered in place and it only has 1 ram slot. Its never given me any problems, however it is only used for work spreadsheets and playing runescape. Have played RuneScape on it 18hour straight and it never gets hotter than 65°c
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 can attest for MSI’s longevity. Have a B350m Bazooka that I’ve been using for 7 years now and paired with a 3600, it’s still going strong.

7 years is like nothing.
It's been such a long time since regularly built PCs I have no idea what board I would use -- the last boards I used to regularly build on were HOT 557s.
I had an asus laptop that was plagued with problems. They tried to fix it under warranty and when I got it back the keyboard didn’t work (wasn’t the original issues).
