  Did I miss something with Asus recently? I’ve only had good experiences with their hardware.

    ASUS used to be the goat brand. They have since enshittified, and the biggest hit was their customer service. It’s 100% ass now. The product itself is really hit or miss now too.

    I’ll consider you lucky. I’ve had many experiences with their hardware across different segments (phones, tablets, laptops, mainbaords, NICs, displays, GPUs).

    They’re an atrocious vendor with extremely poor customer support (and shitty SW practicies for UMA systems and motherboards).

    I don’t think many people have been as unfortunate as I have with them, the general consensus is they mark their products up considerably relative to competition (particularly mainboards & GPUs).

    To be fair, their contemporaries arent much butter.

      Dang.

      I switched to ASRock for my AMD build for specific feature sets and reading ASUS AM5 stuff it looks like that was a good idea.

        But ASRock 800 series AM5 boards are killing granite ridge 3D CPUs en masse. Funny enough, it happened to me.

        I begrudgingly switched to Asus after my CPU was RMA’d as that was the only other vendor to offer ECC compact on a consumer platform.
