Ive heard, yes, ASUS horror stories, but as many ASRock stories when ASUS is putting out more boards.Originally Posted by Brutuz
I had 3 or 4 ASUS boards that all died within 3 months of being BNIB and going into a system, does that mean ASUS are pretty terrible? It's far too small of a sample size to really gauge it properly, the 890FX ASRock I had was a great motherboard.
I swore off ASUS for ages because of the multiple bad boards I got off them, but then I realised you'll always end up getting a bad board at least once from any company; it's just if everyones getting them that you stay away.
(eg. MSI boards on AMD)

(eg. MSI boards on AMD)I've heard horror stories for every manufacturer, but not enough to really warrant keeping away from certain ones. You have to remember that sometimes a "problem" with the board/anything can be down to a user not really knowing what they're doing or inadvertently causing a problem. (eg. The hilarious Steam on Mac video)
