    Wow that’s pretty extreme. I found their RMA process to be pretty shitty and I didn’t quite have those terrible issues. I did have to send I think 3 different boards back to them. They were slow and required a lot of communication to get it done. It’s been years ago so I forget details but I remember each time, until the last time, thinking I just had bad luck.

      My story was from 15+ years ago when I was less knowledgeable and assumed Asus was the best because people on [H] said so. Afterwards I looked into it and found tons of people having similar RMA woes and I learned to research further than the HardOCP community forum lol

      Haven’t bought an Asus product since so I have no idea if they’re still bastards

        Gotcha. My issues with Asus spanned from probably about 1999 to 2018. I think they are probably still bastards. I too have owned “lesser” boards that seem to all universally be less troublesome than Asus ones were
