bit of a crap shoot though. Last 3 mobo's I've bought have all been Asus, and all been faultless, so i can't really say anything too bad about them. I can't complain about the price either, as wanting a led post display on my mobo, the asus board was the cheapest out there. Same with my b550 board where I'd originally bought the msi carbon, but swapped it as the asus board was cheaper and the carbon, though being the top msi mobo, had vrm problems Never bought a gpu or anything though. no way I'd pay those prices for the same performance give or take a few fps
That gamernexus vid really is scummy though. you really wouldn't want to buy them watching that, until he sais at the end he couldn't recomment any other brand as they're basically all the same...just choose the brand you hope has the least problems....for example, gigabyte had their psu's blowing up (watch GM for that)...knowing this, they refused to rma them and then as no one was buying them, bundled them in with their gpu's, as it was the crypto boom..if you want the gpu, you have to buy the psu with it...which is what they did and them chucked them or flogged them for half the price on aution websites.
during the am5 x3d cpu 's being fried..not that many apparently, MSI also had a beta bios on their website, that again voided the warranty...but when the **** hit the fan, then pulled it quickly and Asus got the flak
Nvidia have a bigger problem with their melting 12 pin connectors...there's nothing wrong with the old dual or triple 8 pin connectors...tbh, they're better..bigger plugs and bigger wires so can actually transfer the power better....nvidia changed it as the connection become proprietry, just the way apple make their own screws etc to make repairs difficult...having their own design connector then makes controlling the product
The only thing I can take out of this is that they're all scuzzy. We just have to live with it as and hope we don't buy a 'friday afternoon' product which will fall apart on unpacking. That and buy from a shop that'll take resposibility if something goes wrong
Best company I've bought from for service is Corsair..when a couple of my ql120's had led problems, phoned them up, sent them and email with a copy of my receipt and picture of the fans showing fault, they sent replacements...didn't even have to send in the faulty fans. they even appologised for thefans arriving couple days late as they were shipped from the Netherlands, and had slight delay because of Brexit etc
All i know is I'm never buying an Ally...If i want a haldheld I'll get a nintendo
