- The last several years have proven that ASUS is anti-consumer and lack serious quality control. Enough so, that we can no longer support the brand or allow them to be one of our trusted sponsors.

Asus offered to fly out to GN headquarters to talk about this to Steve and his team. When Steve said they would record the whole conversation, Asus never responded.
For those who dare
They wouldn't want to be recorded trying to pay them to keep quiet now would they.
More timid than NewEgg 😂
Heard they had a shakedown about one year ago with their management team. This is when things have probably started to change
@@buruzn09what Newegg do?
I absolutely love that tech youtubers band together and call a company out on it's bullsh*t. Average people get screwed and have zero power to do anything about it. But you guys have such a big reach to so many people that it gives a voice to all of us and holds these guys accountable. So thanks.
Yes to everything you said.
We have tremendous power, IF we're willing to wield it. It's called "not buying their bullshit". Hit them in their wallets and you'll see these anti-consumer practices come to a stop pretty f*cking quick. Same goes for Nvidia right now and their outrageous prices for the 40 series.
Now it's time to call out AMD because they are guilty as charged, too
@@trajan8474 This is the way! I have historically loved ASUS products, I have TUF and STRIX GPU's, two X570 Crosshair Dark Hero Mobo's, three ROG Zephyrus laptops + two Zenbook, and I won't spend a dime on anything Asus until they pull their head out of their own ass and start treating their customers as though we are the actual lifeblood of their company. I've been fortunate enough to avoid any major issues myself, but I built an X670E crosshair + 7900X and a Z790 STRIX + 13700K rigs for friends and both have had insane issues with stability, blue screens, entire USB hub with all devices just disappearing, and seeing all of the issues that others have had, it's clear that ASUS got drunk on all of that pandemic cash, pulled an Nvidia with prices, started cheaping out limiting features that used to be available on mid-tier $250 motherboards and made them only available on their top-tier $700+ products, they forgot how they got to where they are. The only way that they'll learn is if we hit them in the only place that it counts, their P&L sheets.
@@lldjslim how so? AMD has flat out said they will warranty any CPU that has failed this way...
Meanwhile Asus does everything they can to avoid any responsibility at all and blaming users for trusting them.
AMD rightly got roasted for the vapor chamber issues, but this really isn't at all the same....
gotta love a guy whos not afraid to roast one of his sponsors. shows where your loyalty is at. im not even a regular viewer or heavy into pc stuff. mad respect man keep it up!

@@NkenKenY Go with Gigabyte or MSI. These are the best ones out there rn
@@NkenKenYone that has the things you need. Just pick one in your budget dude it's not that complicated
@@NkenKenY I am making a new build soon and I will be going with MSI most likely, I have heard the Z chipset boards by Asus have had other problems too unrelated to the problems mentioned in this video.
I mean. This video is just BS. He kept using Asus products left and right. Not even two months later he used a RTX 4060 by Asus, and all his personal builds have Asus GPU + Mobo in them
As a company they have definitely gone down hill. they refused to replace my 5 month old defective power adapter for my laptop after MAKING me send it in for trouble shooting even though i told them i was pretty sure the adapter was the issue. I had to pay over $20 for shipping and then they said it was customer induced damage and wanted me to pay $116 for the adapter. ON THE INVOICE it says the adapter is $25, the AC cord is $4, LABOR $60, and shipping back to me was another $20... oh plus tax...
Labor for sending me a part that costs more than the part??? What is happening over there?!
As a former ASUS employee, none of this surprises me. After laying me off, they tried to push me into signing a form that said I would never say anything negative about ASUS, its current/future products, or current/future employees. If I do ever say anything negative, they assured me they would take legal action. Since I didn't sign it, I received no severance pay (they offered a paltry 3 weeks' pay if I signed), which goes against the whole "we're a family" thing that they push on you from the moment you join.
Edit: For those asking, the document was called a "Non-disparagement agreement" and while it wasn't illegal at the time, such practices have been outlawed in the US since. I would guess that they don't use this practice any longer, but they did when I was laid off last year.
Classic example of marketing/financial department calling the shots in a corp environment. That is a death sentence for a tech hardware business. Just a matter of time.
@@cj.wijtmans nvida and evga partnership is prime (no pun intended) example.
Asus is indeed a sus
If that's in the US, it certainly sounds like it would violate some labor laws
@@tiexiaowang7939 not really. There's not much in the law requiring severance, so companies often give decent severance in exchange for the employee signing a waiver of some kind so that they can't sue.
Wow. This is literally putting your money where your mouth is. Huge Kudos, Jay!
💰👄
Thought the same. I'm not even a Jay fan, but this deserves a ton of respect.
Until next week
No doubt!
ESG will be the end of any quality expectations of companies.
You all need to really look into what ESG is.
This deeply upsets me.
My first RMA experience with ASUS was phenomenal. I purchased one of their high end X58 boards and it went DOA within three months. I called their outstanding (at the time) US based support, and they sent me another board with no questions asked. The new one arrived, I shipped out the old one, and that was it. It was an experience that made me an ASUS customer for life and I haven’t bothered looking at other brands since.
Asus used to have a hands on culture with their community. I remember downloading beta bios for that board from a community forum sponsored by Asus. Their community managers used to offer these and they would not void your warranty.
So sad.
beta bios will void your warranty as we speak, also users with a faulty motherboard under warranty, received another faulty motherboard, and so on until 3 or more motherboards were ditched. Moral of the story, ASUS motherboards are faulty and need to address their quality control, it could be a motherboard for a 700 US computer or a 4k computer, they do not care. At the end they are chinese and their quality sucks . The components not made by asus are absolutely great, but ASUS is failing with their components.
Same here. I used to do the same like, hmmm, 20 years ago or so IIRC.
I am currently in the process of getting my Asus Mobo warrantied. There was no contact number and when I requested the RMA the response was we will either repair it or send a replacement that is equal or better than what I had. Once they received it I got an automated email saying they basically make no promises about repair time due to covid (still as of January 4th 2024) and made no mention of any sort of replacement regarding if it would take a while to source the necessary parts needed to repair. So I'm just left wondering if I should wait an unknown amount of time or just buy myself a new board.
@@smacktics get lenovo next time, 4 years warranty premium costs nothing (sometime you get it for free with a coupon) and they will send you people or replacements to your own place.
Nah fuck Asus
You saying ASUS is no longer worthy of being a sponsor for the channel means alot to me as a viewer and consumer. To know that you have us in your mind first and foremost before making a video or accepting a deal proves to me that you are a very trustworthy guy. Thank you for everything, Jay. Here's to another 11 years of content!
Facts
read my post I think he is off the mark possibly!
It could also mean a major negotiation to return ;)
the thing is it's not random hate for audience. it's experience, and multiplication of misfortunes which are not coincidences. i totally understand the point of that video, as a customer perspective. and at the end of the day, even if it's coincidence, it's up to asus to prove the opposite at this point of dissatisfaction. i'm still considering asus proart monitors but for pc parts such as motherboard, that video will definitely influence my influence, for my own customers when i build machines for others. nice to meet you devil. i'm michael from france.
The brands need to understand, it's not about being perfect and not having any issues with your products, it's about the willing to solve those issues, and the way you treat your customers in the process.
💯
Exactly! Shit happens. We get that, but don't gaslight and try to fuck over your customers with a fix that voids the warranty. How a business handles a problem I have with their product leaves a lasting impression far more than the product or the problem. There sad thing that ASUS doesn't understand is that people are so used to bad customer service that it doesn't take a lot to leave a good impression. Be upfront and honor your warranty without making people jump through hoops, and people will think your customer service is fucking amazing.
That's why EVGA is well respected and supported in leaving the GPU market. I had a 2070 for roughly 2 years and then a 3070. They've been great cards and when I had to RMA my 3070 they were fast at getting a replacement.
Yep..that's what he said.
@@Kruscle I do hope they come back one day. Maybe make some Radeon boards. I loved EVGA. I bought 4 of their cards over the years. Why change brands if it works? And they work solidly. They do not pump out shit.
I wish I had not been 3 months late seeing this video. It would have changed my mind on dealing with an Asus product period. I purchased a ROG gaming router and had an issue with the routers software, I contacted Asus' support. Jay is absolutely correct about their support being a joke. Every time I called or emailed about the routers software issue, they wouldn't even get the issue I was having correct. I kept getting the line, "You will be contacted by higher tier support within 24-28 hours". I was NEVER contacted by 'Higher Tier' support. Just stuck with the form readers in India that never helped me. So, never again will I buy another Asus product!
It was absolutely by chance that I found this video. I'm looking at finally building a new rig and was researching the 4090. I've been a huge ASUS fan in the past, many years ago. When EVGA ducked out, I started looking at replacement vendors, and a lot of people were moving toward ASUS. I didn't give it another thought. Thank you so very much for the straight talk! Absolutely, if the post-sale experience is shit then what's the point. I'm very grateful to have viewed this. Subscribing!
I was looking at the 4090, this has made me think 🤔
@@oddball6992 not an ASUS fan by any means...but the graphics cards are actually solid...not sure about the RMA and customer service AFTER it goes bad...but I've built some pc's the last few years and didn't have any issues with ASUS gpu's...even though I'm running a Gigabyte on mine (bc it was on sale lol)...but on motherboards I've ran a couple MSI's and AsRocks...and 2 EVGA DARK and all were absolutelly flawless...had 1 msi board come defective but got another one delivered in 36 hours...F Asus
So what are you going to buy now?
@@robertcras8151 Actually, the consumers do not have much choices. 2 companies are the illusion of choice.
Same, I have an Asus in my 12 year old PC, and when I build my new PC soon it won't have an Asus motherboard.
If you have any ASUS products that are part of this issue, be sure to file a complaint with the FTC, so they can bolster their investigation of ASUS.
THIS NEEDS TO BE PINNED
addition: report it to your ombudsman if you have one in your country of residence. An ombudsman is an appointed official whose duty is to investigate complaints, generally on behalf of individuals such as consumers or taxpayers, against institutions such as companies and government departments.
@@Tarvoskemwer Unfortunately in the US, we don't have ombudsman. Members of the house of reps will often fill this role in an informal capacity, but they are not really required to. It just depends on whether or not your local rep actually cares about looking out for the people.

Thank you for sharing this. It's about time I change things up a bit too by trying a different brand - glad I saw this as I'm just starting on my next build.
I'm having a similar issue with Samsung and their support... or lack thereof. Their marketing has outpaced their quality.
Ive been hearing since my childhood over and over again that whenever you need a part you can trust, go for ASUS. Sad to hear this era is over.
It's been my go to brand as well.
Bummer....
Same, looks like it's over.
Same or EVGA feeling a lil lost.
This seems to be a really common sentiment towards them, but it really confuses me because I've had the complete opposite experience with them, I've pretty much only ever heard negative things about their products, support and pretty much everything else. I have 2 rog monitors which are great but other than that everything else has been negative. like one of those small tablet laptop things that i got about 4 years ago and barely used because it ran so shit it was literally unusable and just stopped working about a year or 2 later.
@@2leggedpirate265 good point I’m speaking from my experience though. Didn’t have a choice on EVGA I will be starting from scratch researching parts for new build. Id probably do this anyway and should but ASUS & EVGA earned basically some trust.
The frustrating thing about your CPU socket situation is that had it been any other regular consumer without backchannels to go through, they'd have just claimed that the customer damaged it themselves and refuse to provide any further support.
That's exactly what happened to me with Crosshair Impact VIII SSD board. Screws were screwed in so tight it was impossible to remove them. Asus support claimed it was my fault, and to get it fixed i had to pay for the shipping. Never buying another Asus product again. Absolute scumbags.
This is why I only pay with credit cards (besides the points). Companies tend to fix their shit when you bring up chargebacks.
@@Dylan-nv9sc not all credit cards offer chargebacks. And many of the ones that do reflect it negatively on your credit report when you do it.
@@HFRG-zq1qm That's complete BS.

In 2019 I bought a mid-range gaming laptop for about $970. (Intel-i7 9th gen and a GTX 1650) Being the ignorant teenager I was, I didn't get the 2+ year warranty and instead opted for the three month free one. Six months later my fan has become noticeably louder and my cpu and gpu is nice and toasty. I did some research and it turns out that the model I got had a severe manufacturing defect that cause the fans to grind on the bottom of the case. This wasn't just my laptop. Tens of thousands of these laptops were defective and ASUS didn't even attempt to notify me. As you can guess, they refused to give me a refund or replacement because my warranty expired. I just can't believe they didn't do a total recall of these faulty laptops. Disgusting.
Asus really fucked me over recently. I bought a new 3090TI from them, paid msrp, owned the card for roughly 8 months and it died. They sent me a used one that had scratches and sharpie all over it. I eventually got ahold of the ceo office and after threatening a lawsuit and they agreed to send me a new one. I appreciate they accepted but it wasn’t fair to pay MSRP for a used card.
I understand and support you completely. This behavior by Asus is unacceptable. Thank you for informing everyone about this!

Wrong. You start by avoiding mistakes as best as you can in the first place, period.
Don't praise a company for fixing tons of issues, praise a company that has a little to begin with, while still fixing issues quickly.
Imagine that you're constantly making mistakes at work. Even if you fix your mistakes every time, at one point they're going to be fed up with you, and fire you.
Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Jay be that upset with a manufacturer. Well done for saying it straight
Reminds me when Linus was super pissed at Nvidia when they were strong arming small tech RUclips channels
@@IWearShoes31I believe that was abut Hardware Unboxed. Nvidia didnt send review sample to them and then Nvidia had there slap on wrists from majority of tech chanels.
I bought a ROG Zephyrus in 2022 and the display backlight bleed is absolutely atrocious. Asus doesn't give a poop and said I'd have to pay for service, labour, parts and shipping to even LOOK at it.
Game over my friends.
Thank you very much for this. I am in the process of researching products for my next build. I now know to stay away from Asus. You have our backs instead of just milking a sponsor regardless. Huge respect.
You Nailed it with your statement. "every brand has issues, it's how they handle it is what matters to me". This is why I am sad that EVGA is gone from graphic cards.
what's weird about the whole thing? Asus isn't nearly as bad when we talk about the GPU side of things, but they need to be universal in their approach.
@theonlyone38 They're not, but ultimately, it's their name on the box, so the whole company benefits even if Jay only allows the good parts to sponsor him.

I love Asus. I got ROG Strix stickers. Joy!
We love unbiased honesty. Thanks for keeping it real, Jay.
Unfortunately, most of my build is ASUS, including the monitor. I purchased the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E from Newegg and paid the extra for a NEW part just to receive a used board that was DoA. Box was beat up, ESD bag scratched/holey/torn; Accessories missing and the cherry on top PASTE IN THE CPU PINHOLES! Many spots that looked like someone stabbed it with a screwdriver including the GPU release. Snapped off buttons on the I/O board. I tried to get a replacement and it boiled down to "You'll just have to buy a different board" because they apparently don't have new ones.
This video has shown me to NEVER buy ASUS products. Thanks for posting it.
I run a computer shop in the UK, and two years ago we dumped the Asus brand from our product range. I cannot begin to explain the incompetence of this company; their RMA system is an absolute joke and they make zero effort to resolve any issues with their products. Great video and I hope it gets shared by millions.
We have just returned out last ASUS Mb. Failed, could not read any memory. ASUS did not seem to care especially as it was the 3rd in a row. Switched to Gigabyte who's build quality has got better an better. I applaud this stand taken against stupidity. We will not purchase any more of their products as they cannot be trusted.
@@MrHiyasu You're saying Gigabyte has gotten better but I had a 15+ year old cheap motherboard from them that only recently bricked. Now I'm going to assemble a new PC and for the first time in my life I'm researching hardware info so I know what to buy, but I've been reading some pretty poor commentary about their recent stuff. Does that mean they went downhill from 15 years ago and are just now recovering?
@@firecat6666 Gigabyte went through a rough patch some years ago, but pulled itself together in regarding the build quality. It also spent time on making driver updates simple and easy so the the users had no excuse for being out of date. We tried 1 board as an experiment and then purchased 10 more. They all installed without a hitch. Since then we have a lot more on order. But due to internal reasons the machines stay at Intel i5 gen 12 utilising D4 RAM, as to uplift required weeks of testing so this will go into planning later this year, but the present performance is more than adequate for their purposes.
@@MrHiyasu Thanks for the reply. That's good to hear, though I'm still a bit skeptical because of that recently found vulnerability on their motherboard autoupdater software, but that should be easy for them to fix, unlike what ASUS has to fix, which is their entire company, lol.
If you don't mind, you seem to work with computer parts, do you have any recommendation for motherboard brands? I'm not looking for anything fancy, all I need is a motherboard that "just works" and can withstand many years of some 4-8 hours of daily use (like the cheap Gigabyte one I had before). Unfortunately where I live the vast majority of options available are from ASUS, and the ones that aren't are mostly Gigabyte. There are a few options from other brands but I don't know which brands are good or bad.

Thanks to you and also Steve and everyone for trying to raise awareness and to protect the consumer, when brands plan to double cross them.
I'll definitely keep an eye out going forward, especially with future generations. However, I've been using ASUS as my main motherboard since my Pentium II SCSI machine. I've never had any issues including with my most recent computer, although it's a ROG machine already put together along with my ASUS TUF laptop. That's like 26 years of ASUS, but I definitely don't want backwards capacitors.
Imagine supporting a company that says here let me fix an issue for you but if you use it you can’t use your warranty if anything happens. That’s some real shill behavior. Doesn’t matter if they were good in the past when they are doing what they are doing

man get a job with the PRC and become a Mao puppet. 🤣
If someone as big as Steve call them out, you know they are in trouble.
This is wild, I hadn't heard of all the issues lately with Asus. I've been a fanboy of theirs for coming on around 20 years - specifically for motherboards - because they've had great quality control and reliability. My last build was a Z77 Asus Sabertooth motherboard back in 2016 and it's been rock solid - but even then, it showed up with one of the heatsinks just plain missing one of its two retention screws, so it was handing sideways and an obvious issue as soon as I opened the box.
Newegg was the distributor that I bought it from, so I put it down to maybe a Newegg issue, but now I'm not sure - maybe Asus's QC has been in decline since all the way back in 2016.
I got the asus Maximus extreme z790 and had to rma the first board because it was dead on arrival! They handled the rma pretty well and haven’t had much issues except my i9 13900k is throttling at stock speeds on Aida 64!
ASUS used to be known as 'the best' motherboard brand. Well, times change.
Yep, I always used ASUS motherboards for decades in my builds and never had a problem, looks like I will have to start researching other brands when it is time to build the next rig if they do not get their act together.
Yeah! I remember well spending a fortune on the VIII Maximus, cause it was one of the best.
MSI has improved so much, they already have overtook ASUS already imo
@@anydaynow01 Honestly every mainboard brand has its issues, the issues with Asus probably just crossed the line now. Gigabyte releases a board where PCIe 4.0 doesnt work, the original Z690 Gaming X had a long ass boot time... AsRock has some boards with mediocre VRMs and BIOS support especially with the fast changing AGESA is sometimes lacking (non-ATX board tho so probably a bit niche). MSI BIOS is literally just overall crap (not only the layout, but it plain and simply ignores some settings like OC via Ratio offset...). Bottomline is: just buy the board that is equipped with the stuff you need and hope for the best.
Yeah, it used to be a no-brainer. If I had the money, I'd always use a decent Asus board. Well turns out not anymore.
I bought a TUF board because it's the successor to the Sabretooth series.
up until this point Asus was My go to brand
My next board will not be an Asus board.
So glad someone can keep these brands accountable. Keep up the great work guys.
I had oneAsus motherboard back in 2007 in a custom gaming pc. Had to RMA it. The second mobo was DOA - RMA. Third at the time - worked when it wanted to. The third finally stabilized after being kept in a storage unit for 9 years
I've been running an Asrock mobo with an AMD FX 9590 for years with no issues.
Interesting. Do you think a hardware experience from over 15 years ago is relevant? Or do you just like to "pile-on"?
Thanks Jay for informing everyone about this. I was thinking of upgrading my motherboard anyways, mine is a Prime B350 motherboard, its old, its ancient by todays standards, but it came as a bundle along with a CPU & CPU cooler by AMD. I haven't upgraded any parts except for the original CPU & GPU. I was thinking of upgrading my motherboard, CPU, GPU, maybe even getting a M.2 stick as a boot drive, migrating everything else to SSD's, but haven't got the time to do so. Eventually i will do it. Can't wait to upgrade my rig. :)
That reminds me. Even a few years ago when building my pc I was considering a prime b550. But checking out the reception it seemed to interestingly be one of the absolute worst motherboards out there even though the others like the tuf gaming (the one I got) seemed fine. Sad how a really good line of something can turn to shit. Same thing happened with my current phone lol
I guarantee it was greed from "cost cutting" which likely came from getting rid of staff, procedures, cheaper components and outsourcing as much as possible! Love the video! Hold more shady brands accountable!
"Name and shame is the deal of the game."
Capitalism at its finest alas.
Sales became in charge of engineers. More than likely. Look at Boeing. The grumbling coming out of there is everything changed when a new CEO took over a decade-ish ago and moved the headquarters to Chicago and left engineering in Seattle. They started firing senior engineers for cost cutting and stopped listening to others on issues. I use Boeing as an example as that's literally planes falling out of the sky level of bad management not listening to the engineers, which is as bad as it gets. But this plays out all the time. I know it's happening anecdotally with ASUS because just a month ago Steve had a rant on board features and talked about engineers at the company saying they needed to get sales to see these things as important if they wanted to include them on products. Which means engineers do not have final say on how good or bad a product that leaves the door is.
@halycon404 Well said! Exactly how it is... unfortunately my work is doing something similar, outsourcing our engineering and design to india... Can you guess how well that's going?? Lol
But these motherboards are priced at a "concierge" level of pricing.
The "but you don't care" at the end was perfect. Almost daring them to prove you wrong even though they've shown that they don't have any interest in doing that.
They don't care YET.

@@moneysworthtv2410 yea, I haven't liked asus for a reason for nearly a decade, everything I have had from them has been kind of shitty, like I expect that kind of crap from the 'I am paying half this price' brands.
As someone new to this, I’m starting to get turned off from getting a pc. All this stuff I’m seeing with the gpu market, and now parts manufacturers are just giving the middle finger…Which is a drag because I never had a pc before but it seems like now isn’t the best time to get into pc gaming.
@@itsZombieMan It is expensive and there are always issues in the industry, but everything isn't broken. There are tried-and-true parts with very high reviews, and PC part picker website to ensure compatibility. Sure, the GPU market isn't great right now, but it's _slightly_ less bad (aside from Nvidia's 40 series which are insanely priced.)
You can build a pretty good PC if you do enough research and get tried-and-true components-maybe even last-gen. That all depends on your budget and goal for your PC.
When ASUS was releasing the 2022 ROG Zephyrus Duo 16, I did a pre-order from B&H Video. I paid 5,000 dollars for the PC. I knew it was going to be super expensive, but i thought it would be great having a powerful gaming laptop. As soon as I got the PC, I turned it on and it couldn't load Windows. It said it couldn't find the Hard Drive. Spoke with ASUS Rep and told me that I had to send it in for repairs. I told them I waited for months for this PC and I wanted a replacement. They wouldn't do it for me since I didn't buy it from them directly. I decided to return the product and never going with ASUS again. I had better support with HP OMEN team. Now, I'm going to be working on a custom Desktop PC.
Thanks for this video. I nearly bought an ASUS board but am now going to go for the msi mpg b650 carbon I think
This hurts to watch as an ASUS fan boy. But it has to be done. They needed to be held accountable
Same, the hero x670e is my last Asus board
I always used ASUS motherboards and EVGA video cards this has been a bad past year for me. I think I’m going to give EVGA my money for my next builds motherboard though. I won’t be able to buy a video card from them so ill use them for my board. They made an AM4 board so hopefully they make an AM5 but If they don’t make one by the time I’m ready I guess I’ll try intel. I still have no idea what to do for a video card though.
@@dustinfarmer5158 I'm in the same boat. Wanting to upgrade my GPU and I really do not know which brand I can trust now that EVGA saw what madness it would be to continue working with NVidia. Nearly every other brand in reviews I have watch somewhere along the line have a problem that were never on EVGA cards. Am so reluctant to make a choice now.
Just built a new system with an Asus board to replace an aging one that used an Asus board that worked flawlessly. Really regretting sticking with them. They had a board I wanted at the price point I wanted though.
there's literally no reason to be a fanboy. fuck aesthetics, all their high end boards ive seen nothing but problems and their branding aint that cool anyway.
If only EVGA made boards and such for the budget/standard consumer market.
EVGA's non dark boards suck
EVGA boards are the same price as highend ASUS board that kill your CPU
For real.
They did in the 2000s, my first build I picked the parts for myself had an EVGA NForce 4 SLI board (socket 939), with an AMD 4000+ single core CPU. I got it for $169 or something I forget exactly (my newegg history might go back that far but i'm not checking lol), was absolutely friggin rock solid no issues what so ever.
EVGA PSU suck.
I always liked the idea of one branded builds, more compatibility, One software controls all & flexing purposes. and MSI was my go to Brand .
During the usage of my "MSI" build (which I did in 2016), I saw how elegant / high end Asus "ROG" line was; and wanted to switch over to a FULL Asus ROG build whenever I need an upgrade.
Anyways, it's 2023, time for a whole new build!
I went through Parts picking, which I consistently picked everything ASUS "ROG" despite the price difference compared to its counterparts (It is obviously more expensive).
I showed the build suggestion to my friends for feedback (before ordering) and they told me: "Your build is great, But just watch this video".
I follow this channel for years now and I recognized Jay chill attitude regarding everything. unlike other hyper critical content creators for over small stuff.
BUT MAN THIS MESSAGE WAS SERIOUS!!
I knew this is a serious deal. Without any hesitation, I went back to all "MSI" build again.
"MSI" , I guess we're gonna spend more time together :=)
I went with an MSI motherboard in my new build as I have had no issues with them and after watching this video boy am I glad I did!
well this probably explains the bs thats been going on with my pc the past few months...
Huh?
I had a 3700x system with a strix x470 board that had a bunch of random issues like the ones in jays video, switched back to intel cause I thought it was an AMD problem but now I’m starting to second guess.
Fr, asus seriously shat the bed
Just go Msi and intel. 0 issues. I highly recommend Msi Tomahawk mobo. I got it with i7 12700k and it's perfection since the very first boot. Haven't had a single crash or connection issue or any issues with overclocking etc and I built my system 5 months ago and use it every day.
Updated BIOS last month (5800x/ Strix x570) and it would not even load windows, it would hard crash. Rolled back the BIOS to find out that windows was corrupted so bad I had to wipe and re-install. Time to change mobos…
That was such a hard line.. “climb down the ladder now so the landing isn’t as hard” that caught me off guard from Jay. I’m glad to see the people that get free items/get paid by X company are standing up to complacency. I wish more people were like this. Thank you Jay, Nick, Phil, etc, for placing yourselves in the limelight to ensure the pc community isn’t taken advantage of anymore. Couldn’t be more proud.
Yeah, I'm curious how LMG is going to handle all of this, I'm sure their forums are all over it, but I fear that they have too much to lose to do what Jay or either Steve are doing. I'm willing to bet that they make a few comments, but I don't think they could walk away from ASUS completely for all reviews and sponsorships, which sucks given the reach they have with their audience.
@@racerex340 Also, ASUS/ROG is the main sponsor for LTX this year, i can imagine that they would pay a lot of money if they cease the contract now, besides the huge lost in money for the event, that are about to happen.

bye bye Asus and once again thank you so much for this video
Asus, the perfect way to destroy your brand. I will never touch any of their products again. The management of the company should be replaced without hesitation. This is honest content which is sadly lacking on the internet.

I loved ASUS when I first started getting into computers. They were a brand I could rely on but no longer. Thank you for putting it out there.
I agree, my new built, i went with another manufacturer for the same reason as Jay just pointed. Deuces ASUS, its been real
It's regrettable that it's gotten to this. 10 years ago, Asus was one of the brands I found most reliable.
In the past 13 years I've been trying to stay away from ASUS and 2 time when I've decided to give them a chance, I was disappointed.
Wanted to buy a laptop - it could boot only once, RMA and got a same model as a replacement, same issue. Turns out all the batch in the shop was broken.
Bought a monitor - dead pixels, after RMA, HDR did not work.
They used to be good before 2010.
Was kind of the same for me too. I remember back in the day the local tech magazine calling their motherboards "german quality" and such. So they aren't the go to any more. But what else is in their stead then? MSI had some bad rep as well from GN; ASRock I always thought was a the cheapest and dodgiest brand; and I never liked Gigabyte, tried to avoid them by default before. Have I been Very wrong with these stances I just mentioned? Or is there some other "savior" brand left, that one could buy relatively confidently a motherboard from?
@@41056 My last build used an MSI motherboard, something that in the past I would never have done, but they sure have stepped up their game.
After 7yrs of Asus devotion, my new 7950x build is MSI and Corsair. Crazy bad quality issues, RMA'd 2 x AIO's and 2 x Crosshair VIII Formula MB's Horrible RMA process. FREEDOM HAS NEVER FELT SO GOOD!!!
I had a Maximus IV Extreme-Z and using a Maximus XI Hero Wifi motherboard since 2018. So far so good. I upgrade every 5+ years.
If all influencers were as honest as you Jay, the world would be a MUCH better place. Thanks for keeping it real.
Yeah. The worst one is mkbhd. He's so fake and he'd NEVER fire any sponsor. He LOVES the money. Yeah he gives critical reviews, but never real like this
As for AS ROCK... isn't that the same company as Asus? Or at least Asus made it?
@@marioluigi9599 a quickk search revealed that Asus is the parent company to AsRock, but AsRock is a spun off of Pegatron ( which is also a spun off of Asus), which means AsRock manufacturing and management are basically their own, in different Terms this is like the chinese BBK electronics company that own multiple brand like Oppo, vivo and OnePLus but they are their own companies, only tied to the names of the brand contract so they are basically separate entities so that's explain why AsRock isn't as dogshit as Asus in motherboard
@@marioluigi9599 from Wiki - ASRock was originally spun off from Asus in 2002 ... It was acquired by Pegatron in 2010.
@@akmalrusydi2730 Well in that case I guess the only question is, is Pegatron fully independent of Asus now and a competitor to it? Or does Asus still have influence over it?
@@marioluigi9599 i have no idea honestly, may need some research to fully know whether or not Asus has influence over Pegatron. But in my opinions i think they aren't under the influence of Asus anymore, their products work great, reliable, priced just about right , their gpu is good for the price and performance, motherboard selections are great, so far i use their A320m model and hasn't failed me since 2020.
That beta bios move, supposedly fixing the issue, yet voiding the warranty (in small letters) is utterly sickening and disgusting. Thank you for sharing this.
Nah mate. If you're tech savvy enough to install a bios update to fix a problem.. you should know to never flash beta software for something so serious as BIOS(which is actually UEFI now, but we are calling it BIOS). This is really mostly your fault.
Obviously Asus screwed up big time with that ryzen chip overclocking bios, but the warning was there: Installing beta bios voids warranty... this is mostly users fault. Also there are always risks with overclocking and it isn't allowed by the cpu manufacturer, so that voids the cpu warranty too. So it is the user's fault. Maybe take responsibility for your own actions? I really don't have sympathy for those who fried cpus because they knew the risk, or should had known.
@@beardsntools Get off their dick, bro. Maybe in the past you could say "if they're smart enough to install it, they're smart enough to know the risks" but with a tutorial for everything, people can punch above their weight installing things, but they might not have the tools or know how to check voltages.

Thanks for the honesty Jay. It makes me sad- I have a 2022 G14 and a ROG Strix motherboard in my desktop build. Both have been super solid, but all of this anti-consumer behavior will definitely have me looking very carefully when I decide to upgrade in a few years. Thank goodness independent media is here to keep these large corporations in check. Thank you Jay!
The sad thing about this, many years ago I had two775 chaintech mobo's (same type) fail one after another. First one the shop i bought it at, replaced it no questions. Two weeks later the other board went, took it back, where the shop offered a full refund or replacement board, they recommended Asus. I went with the Asus board, I was so impressed that it was still running ten years later, last time i turned it on. All my boards, (apart from an Asrock gaming PC ) have been Asus, wouldn't hesitate in recommending Asus.. After watching GN and Mr 2Cent Can't say I'm inclined to do that anymore! Oh how the mighty have fallen, Asus aint my hero anymore., Which really sucks- Asus. Do better.
@John Kurokawa - I've never had any issues with ROG, and I've been using those components for the past 7+ years (motherboards, phones), as I usually build my PC from scratch every couple of years (one of those for gaming, but also with 100+ GB or RAM for use with Vmware Workstation, or Hyper-V).
It is kind of difficult to believe that in the global scale - they would screw it all up. Not that I don't believe as such, but they always had a good components in their products (ROG ones - not sure about other ones, such "usual classic" Asus, ,without the ROG label).
I've used an Asus board in my last two builds and had no issues, glad I didn't go with AM5, mine is AM4.
My 2021 G15 has been fantastic, but yeah... after this story, I'm certainly not going back to Asus. Even once they "fix" this, the company has burned a lot of bridges lately. That's going to leave a lasting impact.
I was going to upgrade this coming gen with an ASUS mobo, but not now. F&^% them and their anti-consumer BS. I'll hit up Aorus mobos now.
I got asrock board on sale and was waiting for the issues, but I found what you did. AsRock solid. It's AMD build too and it ran well when I got it. Runs well today. No issues.
Newer had problems with Asrock boards! I built many years ago for family and friends few FM2 PC's with Asrock boards still working fine with no issuues as office/multimedia PC's and some light gaming
Sad news indeed I always use ASUS for my builds . Now I will have to reconsider my options , Well done Jay for telling the truth
Cutting any sponsor that significantly contributes to your brand/channel is a HUGE leap forward! It is a very tough decision, but it also sends the message to your viewers that you care more about the average consumer than money. It's a breath of fresh air that there are still people out there that care about more than just themselves.
I bet some things change real fast... they just got called out by two of the most important public sector speakers with a voice...
If they are 5 months into the year without a new contract, they're clearly not contrinubuting monetarily. I wonder if Jayz had a deal in place if he would still have cut them off?
@@matbroomfield He probably still would have. The fact they aren't paying him just makes it so much easier. Besides, if it's taking 5+ months to hammer out a contract, they were most likely going to slowly move away from him anyway.
As someone who loves everything from ASUS TUF series , they break my heart with their behavior. Hats off to Jay for doing this!
This is why you shouldn't "love" companies. They're all out to screw you out of your last dollar, under any circumstances
What's wrong with the TUF series?
I built an AM4 system last year with TUF board and had no issues. I think AM5 is the real problem.
@@shagohodred2464 You can like a brand and a brands design without approving the behavior of the company behind the brand.
I like the ROG design. The old ones at least. The one before they put dumb slogans all over things. Considering the pile of sheit the Armoury Crate is and now this, I will think twice of going Asus again.
But we also need to consider: there isn't alot of companies around anymore that didn't have a major fuck up at some time and still have adequate designs.
And yes: nowadays it matters. If my fucking PC has a fucking piece of glass on the side because it is virtually impossible to get anything else then it might as well look at least decent.
I had nothing but great experience using Asus products and I recently bought their motherboard too. Feels bad man.
I did a build and when it got a orange dram issue, think my fault due to expo, anyway I striped it down and theres a bent pin!! but I messed up and touched it and bent 2/3 more. Basically the board bricked and wouldnt reset on cmos, battery out (even tired a new battery) There support said speak to the place you brought it but will they accept a board with bent pins. Its was my mistake not checking it (did I do it now when I was careful and know what Im doing)! great video!
I don't know about motherboards, but I have 5 Asus souped up routers, they've been great. I did have one defective, Asus replaced it with a brand new one within 3 weeks.

@@georgejones5019 Very true......thats why like Jay said the judgement is how a company handles their issues. If I get a bad part.....ok shit happens......as long as you give me an easy RMA process we can still be friends.
All brands can be shit because all these companies have their bottom line to protect. They will try to get away with something if you let them. Best not to have any brand fandom and just hold every brand accountable equally. And as consumers you should not believe marketing talk, you should always treat official narratives as bogus and do your own research before buying a product.
Quality and better design would is a must! Mine was scary to get ram in because the ram slots were so fragile, the onboard wifi doesn't work well. the PCB itself is frightening fragile as well. why make it a fucking pain to get parts in and out?why have a huge thing right in the middle that makes a pita to re-seat a CPU cooler? i'll take more hand space, over looking like a fucking arcade machine lol.
Just recently got my "new" Asus ROG Zenith II Alpha, and it came in an opened box, a thin peice of antistatic film bag on the back that would have had a component in it, and the wrong user manual.

Really appreciate the video and you using your platform to make a stand. Hope it makes a difference down the road with asus , but even if it does not , at least folks that seen this will do their research before blindly buying “xxxx” brand. I kind of wish one of the big RUclipsrs such as you or GN would maybe go the extra mile and give folks a solution in instances like this. Like hey this company is less $hit, here was our blind support experience with each one. Possibly do a video on the big companies support process. Maybe take 5 or more random parts from random vendors and go through the warranty process as the average joe and show your experience. Kind of like a secret shopper. Could even have viewers that maybe have a defective product in warranty send them in for you to use as a test case. I know it’s not gonna be a huge sample size . However if you had 10 instances with motherboards or video cards with Asus, MSI or Gigabyte and 7 out of 10 positive with one brand and 3 out of 10 with the others … I feel like it would empower the viewers. Viewers would maybe speak with their $$$ and force the $hit vendors to step up. Because as an average consumer it’s hard to pick one brand. Reddit is full of people crapping on each brand lol. I mean I get it , folks are less likely to go on Reddit and say wow I had the best time ever. Some do, but folks are more likely to go out of their way to complain about a bad one. I dunno just a thought. Kind of like your “which brand we can trust in 2022” video but with more in depth look into the actual RMA of each. Which that video kind blew my mind with how much asus went down in a year. Either way thanks for all that you do in your videos and keep being you ❤
Glad Australia has strong RMA policies. You don't mess with the producer, you just go to the store and grab a new part and get cleared at the register in 5 mins. I bought a wireless thermometer that broke and the company wanted me to ship to America for RMA, with no guarantee it would be replaced. Just went back to the store and got a new one in seconds
Consumer protection? What the hell is that? We don't know what that is we're bootlicking Americans. It's almost as alien a concept as workers rights
I think that's the real secret, plus sending things into the country can take awhile. The middle-man has a stronger voice and a bigger stake with that system.
@@brodriguez11000 But it seems a little unfair for the middle man to be responsible for the manufactures crappy product, no?

Jay just taught me a life lesson. Judge by not the problems they have, but how they solve them. Thank you :)
Great dating advice too lol
I was just browsing for the Crosshair X670 models and found this. Had no idea Asus was going down hill in quality. For like decades they have been my rock solid brand with zero quality problems. I’ve owned generations of ROG Maximus and Crosshairs without a hitch. That’s quite worrisome.
So, I bought a new ASUS ROG M15 in 2020, and honestly not thrilled, since I had to replace the fans about a year after I got it, just out of warranty.
And after swapping them, I'm still having issues today with it shutting off/restarting randomly.
It's a shame, I loved my 2013 G750.
Glad to see you and others taking a stand. I had a terrible support experience with them years ago that made me boycott the brand for myself and any PC build for friends/family. And for the cost of some of these products, there's no excuse for not providing real support.
Had a similar experience. Asus customer support immediately went condescending & defensive as soon as my problem was reported to them in addition to the “leaving on hold long enough for you to get tired of waiting” trick. The last Asus product I purchased was for my wife’s Ryzen 2600X & I will stay away from Asus until they deserve to have my business back.
ASUS recently tried to claim my board was customer induced damage because "the pins were bent." One of the pins was twice as long as it was supposed to be. They are definitely looking for any excuse to not honor warranties.
"But you don't care" hits hard mans. Right in the feels.
No, it wasn't. The manufacturing process would not allow a "long pin" to be placed. Even if you snuck in and did it yourself, the board would fail during production testing.
ASUS has done this for years, unfortunately. I'm honestly surprised it took this long for outcry.
If the pin in question was a motherboard header it sounds like the pin was pulled out of place. Usually a combination of poor solder quality and being too rough with the connector.

Hes buring a cash source to warn people from shady practices that could brick systems, lose people cash time and make them never set foot in the pc space again, i aint saying hes a goldy person with nothing shady of his own but on this vid mans working for the people.
im an asus fan boy as well but at least i can see when a brands become too self obssesed and is working against there customer basis.
but my dude please feel free to properly explain yourself with links if you aren't just here to shout at a top comment and get some attention with no ground to stand on.
