This is absolutely hilarious to me. Now.... I absolutely feel for everyone in any way involved in any sort of warranty claim with Asus. This is without doubt one of the best reasons to use a system integrator or even OEM supplier of hardware, as you tend to have a far better warranty response.

I would have absolutely got the bit between the teeth if I were in those shoes but it's a poor response from ASUS in general.

ASUS are getting some really bad press of late, it's worth keeping in mind. There's a lot more cover with PCS in play but it's still worth keeping your eyes peeled to what manufacturers are up to in general.

It's been across the board too, the ASUS BIOS updates with the Ryzen over voltage issue was just a nightmare, declaring that anyone flashing a BETA BIOS wasn't covered by warranty even though it was the only fix at the time and it then took them 3 or 4 separate BIOS updates to actually lock the voltage to 1.4v

From what I'm hearing they're having similar issues with the Intel Microcode updates currently where after applying the new microcode update on some boards, it still pushing well over 1.5V when the cap is supposed to be 1.5v

Increased Vcore After Microcode BIOS Update

I have a 13700K in an Asus PRIME Z790-P WIFI. Before any updates to my system were made, I ran the latest Cinebench multi-core stress test which resulted in a max 1.45VCore maximum with a 1.4Vcore average. I updated the BIOS to v1663 with the Microcode fix and noticed that some of the default...

And when it comes to ridiculous overclocks out of the factory, Asus are definitely the major culprits. That's why they had so many issues getting AM4 and AM5 boards stable with RAM was because their board designs basically required that higher voltage just to function, whereas other board partners all kept it under 1.4v quite happily.

I got a few minutes into this and thought I had deja vu, then realised I'd watched it 4 months ago ;)

There goes my Gypsy Rose Tony career 😪

I remembered watching it also, and I think there was a follow up, but just thought I would highlight again as I think it's going to be relevant with the latest build options. If the Gigabyte reviews are favourable and perform well at the mid-end I think I'll be switching over.

Less of an issue with PCS of course, but just another reason to shift.
