What is going on...
Nvidia and ASUS can't design a safe connector for it's products? :slap:

Shitsus and their failing product list is far too long and their scam centers are cherry on top. I remember they had problems with A8N-SLI deluxe as well and "solution" to that problem was quitely "handled"/brushed under the carpet in similar fashion to this. Not sure why fanboys are splurging on their overpriced turds.

I'm hoping, that we have an official announcement for ROG CROSSHAIR X870E EXTREME very soon.

I just updated to a Asus AM5 board last night and used the PCIe Q-release for the first time its a nice feature.

however I think this slim version is different than the one of my board glad they got it fixed.

Nvidia chipset problems are out of their hands. Direct complaints to Nvidia.

Putting that "PCB scratcher" there was just bad design from the start.
But what can be expected when marketroids are in charge instead of engineers?
I mean they've even sabotaged cooling of already flimsy and undersized VRMs with plastic garbages on top of VRM heatsinks...

Don't you know it's never Nvidia's fault?
Though at least that fast wearing scrappy tiny toy fan chipset cooler was handiwork of Asus...

Pretty much every nf2 nf3 nf4 had the same chipset cooler, generationally. It was up to you to move air through your chassis not them :D

Nvidia fucks up quite a bit, not just AMD haha.

Well written article, thank you

Sure mate a $10 cable refresh is just like getting an other 5090 at MSRP :roll:

Seems like AsSus & nGreediya are involved in a "lets see who can f*ck shit up worse" and "who can cover it up the quickest" competition...

These are just 2 of the reasons (among many) that I haven't bought anything from either company in many, many years, and sold off all their parts that I did have...

I spoke with a retailer about the possibility of getting a replacement board in the future once they release the updated version and their product manager mentioned that the statement from their HQ would probably be inline with the North American one and that "The damage the end user is referring to was picked up by an influencer after pushing and pulling out the GPU incorrectly 60 times into a motherboard". Certainly telling that ASUS China were the only ones to admit fault (logistics, especially now).

Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with 6,001 hulls. When will they learn?

if this only affects the higher end mobo, then the lower tier ones are more likely to not suffer from the same issue?

Oh that's nice, I don't buy anything Asus anymore.

The handbook and the marketing page should claim beforehand - only 20 put in / out cycles allowed in total.

I find it very sad when people claim that the nvidia graphic card power supply connector (no one else uses it usually) or the asus graphic card release mechanism have only up to 50 put in / put out cycles.

Personally I doubt ASUS and NVIDIA got that thing so I will get 100% a problem free product for the next 15 years of use.

Why not give 15 years internationally for 193 countries full replacement of the hole device without questioning the customer? that can not be a problem for a quality product ASUS / Nvidia ... ?
15 year fix any expansion card when an ASUS mainboard ruins the connectors.

there is still the possibility when you have a gigglebyte grafic card and the asus mainboard ruins the gold fingers your rma for the gigglebyte grafic card will be void. In my point of view you loose the warranty and RMA for not only the mainboard but more components. The internet is full with that from random people. From a technical perspective I would also decline rma when I get a graphic card with ruined gold fingers before even looking further in the issue. RMA declined - RMA case closed.

edit: #14 low tier asus mainboards like the asus prime x670-p mainboards for example do not get uefi updates, delayed uefi after ~4 weeks and have a buggy uefi. Personal experience. Only one USB port is capeable of usb booting. // there are several reasons to avoid further asus products for some people.

follows months of backlash from enthusiasts who reported cosmetic damage to high-end GPUs after repeated use of the quick-release feature

Let's be honest here, 60 is a low number and everything, but who here adds/removes the video card 6- times over its lifetime? For me, it's pretty much install and forget until the next video card upgrade, unless a motherboard upgrade sneaks in between.
You want to be an (Q-Release) early adopter? Act like one.

I think 2-4 gpu put in and put out cycles
I had to disassemble everything several times my hole setup when I wanted to install the vertical m2 "wifi" metal case and the wifi card.

I switched my case and back - I think at least 8 times put in and put out cycles.
Fractal Design Meshify 2 -> "user review" jonsbo D41 -> Fractal Design Meshify 2

There is the second gpu in this mainboard. I think at least 3 times put in and put out cycles.
MSI radeon 6800 z trio had to go after 3 months because of loud noise and always on rgb bar. I doubt the Powercolor 7800xt hellhound will be in that mainboard forever. I already looked in the radeon 9070xt offerings.

I added an Aftermarket AM5 cpu socket. I'm not sure If I had at that point a graphic card, but everything had to be pulled out to access fully the mainboard.

I changed the Air cooler. I do not know if I used the Arctic Freezer 33 on that board, but I used for sure Noctua NH-D15 than the Bequiet Dark Rock 5 (or whatever it is named).
I added offset AM5 mounting brackets for the AM5 cooler for Noctua. Not sure if I pulled at that point the graphic card out for easy access. I most likely did that.

I'm always looking at other pc cases and other radeon graphic cards and other mainboards. Two years warranty motivated me a lot in the past to sell parts and buy something else. I do not want to gamble with equipment which is out of warranty. Certain presonus or corsair products died here recently in the two year period. Brand names are worth nothing

60 pull in and pull out cycles are not really much in my point of view.
