Why Millions Of Gamers Are Boycotting Asus

unless you are apple cause your customers are mindless sheep

except for apple because apple fanboys never leave apple unsucked, find a spouse like apple fanboys yall

​@@Yoru05The thing is - most Apple fanboys aren't really fanboys at all. Fans typically obsess over the object of their fandom. Apple doesn't succeed cos of those people, it succeeds cos of all the people who just know them as a high end tech company and hence buy their products WITHOUT putting much thought into it. Most of them probably wouldn't even be able to tell you the specs the device they bought, cos they never researched it. They just associate Apple with quality and so default to buying from them. Apple gives them a generically good system that they didn't have to research to find - even though better options exist, it would require more effort from them to find them.

Oof

HP is by far the worst customer service. I work for a partner and I still get horrible service!

​@@DNeed77They are and so are Samsung and Steam and many other companies. I've learned to wait 6 months before buying anything tech related and since then I've been able to avoid every major issue.

Same here, I once tried Zenfone 2 and had to send back 4 different replacement units and in the end I gave up and bought a Galaxy S7 and never looked back since

Asus still is unwilling to rma my z690 rog strix because this POS takes 4 minutes to boot. Their support is trash tier, they do NOT deserve to have the brand clout they have! I hate asus now!

Which model? Any symptoms before dying? My Tuf laptop starts a crackling sound when playing Heavy games

the asus tuf laptops are just poorly engineered pieces of crap... i had a part of the motherboard fry on me as well, and now the laptop is unusable for gaming, as the GPU always thermal throttles after a few minutes of use. i can only use my asus tuf gaming laptop for basic tasks like browsing, office work and coding.

I had TUF mobo and monitor, monitor picture quality is just shocking, tons of backlight bleed. Mobo died after few months killing cpu in the process. Would not recommend anything with TUF logo on it. Shame asus

My friend bought a Tuf a couple of months back, since I have an excellent Asus Vivobook. His laptop freezes completely when using browser while being plugged in. The Asus service centre simply update the Bios and gave it back, which started freezing again. Can you recommend a course of action?

I have just purchased Asus Vivobook 16X Creator Series 😢

Fair enough

I overclocked every cpu I had, including ones with stock coolers running kinda high temps and never had a problem, overclocking is such a low risk it's insane people think otherwise. There are too many protections even if you don't know what you're doing and intentionally wanted to fry one, iwo

so you might understand how mad people are when their stock clocked cpus starts dying due to auto oc by asus mobo

Exactly! I got tired of the amount of time spent on tuning to get that extra, unnoticeable 2-3 fps. I now enjoy spending more of my time gaming without crashing than tuning. Either way, all the major MB manufacturers are all scummy in their own ways.

overclocking is bairly worth it when the stuff is basically overclocked to the max from factory today

A gut feeling

A sus feeling

MSI, Gigabyte, Asrock, Corsair and many other pc hw companies have pretty much the same crooked reputation... One of the few brands I could somewhat trust that will not treat their customers like a garbage is Noctua.

@@veduci22 The problem is they've all learned that if they all treat their customers like crap and cut costs by cutting corners and giving people sub par products they know there's nothing anyone can do. What I mean is if person 1 buys brand A and person 2 buys brand B and they both have a shitty product and experience. But there are only brand A and brand B products. What happens next? Person 1 buys brand B and person 2 buys brand A. They both get screwed again and the company's make the same.....No they make more money because they've made both consumers buy something twice "so far" that should have lasted much longer the first time and they've also spent less on their sub par manufacturing costs. Sure there's usually more than Brand A and B. But there's also a lot more than Person 1 and Person 2 and the only long term difference is we all bounce around more brands as we get screwed by each one.

​@@filip9587 they tried and even found the core issue with the connector. But this connector by itself is a JOKE, has absolutely no reason to exist and it's BADLY conceptualized and engineered.

@@JohnWiku Agreed. Thinking about it, it might also lower the price of 40 Series cards on the used market (or at least here's hoping) given how bad the longevity of this connector is.

It is clickbait, RU-vidrs are more like crappy tabloids nowadays

I bought a new computer recently. Was going to go for an ASUS motherboard, saw RU-vidrs talking about how terrible ASUS was, then went with MSI instead. Anecdotally I at least avoided buying ASUS.

yeah Asus and Apple fans are all sheep so their downsides never mattered in the slightest

@@OryAlle Wouldnt say msi is any better

@@NamTran-xc2ip MSI's motherboard in this particular case had the best VRM for its local price class. Gigabyte had also apparently faceplanted, so it was MSI or bust.

Like a fine wine🍷

Basicly you are pritty unaware ...

So you buy high priced products and don’t expect them to be „premium“?

Your proart mobo is more expensive than other motherboards that may have better features. Looks good tho. I personally was looking at the ProArt Z790 just because it had 10G + 8 Sata Ports, and then I realized I could buy a different Z790 for half the price, and get a 10G PCIE card if I want that.

That was done by design. Anything coming out of a Taiwanese company is hackable by government sponsored hackers. That's why the United States loves Taiwan, they love to have backdoors into everything but don't want Russia or China to. Hypocrites, yes.

Yeah and I was one of them. Thats why I replaced them with OpenWRT routers. Dont want to mercifully beg big corporations to do something. Looking at you too, Microsoft and Apple...

As did every other brand.

@@tomasbarek2852 Merlin firmware on mine.

@@tomasbarek2852 even Cisco suffers a lot from hacking attempts. The difference is the seriousness when dealing with the situations.

Their professional line-up is still pretty solid. I use such a board in my workstation and a monitor. I used Asus mainboards during the Athlon64 and Core2 era. But later switched to MSI, but they are lacking nowadays too. The Z390 MSI board in my gaming system has issues that it shouldn't have, but at least nothing that breaks the entire system. Only USB ports glitching out. My sister in law had an awful experience with a Gigabyte graphics card. Funny enough, ASRock ("cheap Asus") has solid middle class consumer components. But when it comes to graphics cards, EVGA were the only ones which had good ones in my opinion. A shame they don't make them anymore.

I wouldn't trust them if they can't even get their latest high end product right (Rog Ally and the SD card of death).

I exclusively bought Intel CPUs and Asus motherboards between '01 and '21, even before GamersNexus and Jays videos there was something stinky with Asus QA that I really wasn't interested in and I didn't really want an intel CPU that boosted into corium either. I think intel made their later cpu's more reasonable but I'm never touching Asus again.

Which one is better for mainboards?! Gigabyte ???

I now parise Asrock Now

Nailed it

My ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming Wifi II has some of the dumbest fucking errors I've ever seen, all of which are resolvable with just adjusting a few settings in BIOS. But after on-the-spectrum levels of fine-tooth combing over every single BIOS setting, I have discovered that the out of box settings are just mind-bogglingly stupid, either hindering performance or leaving performance on the table, all while introducing the most asinine error codes. Have it up and running now, but oh boy, it gets better. Coil whine. ASUS have more products with coil whine than I've ever fucking seen. My ASUS TUF 4080 sounds like Leatherface grinding down a bunch of robot orphans when I play at 240fps (my monitor is 240hz.) I have to lower down to 120 fps to virtually eradicate the majority of it. Undervolting and even power limiting GPU only changed it from the robot orphan pedicide to the sound of a bunch of rabid electric bees foaming at the mouth and swarming my side panel. During my research I found INSANE amounts of people with similar experiences with ASUS motherboards and GPUs. That includes Intel and AMD on the Mobo side of things, btw. ASUS told me my 4080 was operating within tolerable frequency and since it was not mechanically defective they would not replace it with another and sent me back the same one. Pretty sure whoever handles coil whine complaints in their testing service is deaf. I'd bet my life savings on it. Then there's the 7800X3D debacle... Then there's the BIOS settings destroying Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs... Like it's just baffling to me how they let this happen to their brand. What a bunch of incompetent rats.

people are loyal to quality and trust & competition, if they are not anymore, it's time to move on to other competitors.

some of the worst motherboards Asus sold were made in 2000-2005. Pure rubbish. Frankly most products from that time period suffer from issues, mostly due to capacitor plague, but asus boards, especially mid and mid-high end ones were some of the worst offenders. At one point we had a shelf packed full exclusively with dead Asus P4P800 and A7V880 motherboards. MSI was a close second. We stopped putting their boards in our prebuilt PCs after 2005, opting to go with Biostar for budget PCs and Asrock for high end offerings. Their boards slowly started getting better from 2006 onwards, but they started dropping the ball with video cards in about 2008 or so. 8800GTs with dingy coolers that cocked themselves, 7970's and 280x with no cooling for the bottom ram chip, Vega64 with under specced VRMs, GTX 780's with paper thin PCBs and so on. I'm pretty happy with their laptops tough.

they are a publicly traded company and they have investors and stockholders they are required to service. Their stock is also up 50% over the last year. they dont give a s about any of that stuff. they ship products, they make money. typically when companies run out of growth opportunities their excising products start to suck, this is not typical. This is like nvida raising prices to the stratosphere. I bet asus can get way worse before they care at all about it.

Fair enough

Nah, this guy pulling the info from his ass and without source

He doing assumptiom based on his "circles"

It's more of a silent boycott. Between their ROG line being excessively overpriced, and other brands offering similar quality products at a much lower price, people without brand loyalty would switch.

LG has better monitors than ASUS... ASUS is best in manufacturing mainboards. Almost everything else has comparable or better alternative, but for mainboards ASUS is the best.

to be fair Asus doesn't really have control of the manufacturing of the panel that's usually Samsung or LG or AO

Don't worry, they are most likely still the top. Not because they are a beacon of quality, but because the rest are even worse.

i had ASUS TUF laptop for.....2 and a half years now, i think.... sure, it' can't ....let's say, run metro exodus at full Ultra 4K, but, it can at 1080p at medium, and extremelly satisfied. casual gaming = asus is good enough :D

@@ionut-cristianratoi7692 simp

Congrats! Enjoy it and forget about this 😀👍

Don't worry that was a drama that happened a few months ago, the OP probably got their MOBO fried, and it's furious with the RMA process, because asus is one of the worst when comes to customer services, but quality, still pretty much on the top.

i see ASUS products fail more than any other brand at work!

It isn't limited to pc hardware space either, which is the sad part. Holding mid to large sized companies of any kind or genre accountable for anything short of genocide is next to impossible in the US. Corporations have more rights than people. And it sucks.

Even if that's actually the case, "we're a mess, cut us some slack" is hardly a reassuring response.

Chaos in the company. A big company admitting their branches are a mixed salad mess and communication channels not working? And using that as excuse? Okay now I really have seen it all. I mean I already knew it basic company stuff these days, but them just dropping the cover and going full mask off on that front is brave and hilarious at once.

tbf that could be due to nvidia's infamous new psu connector issue

​@@wasw Sounds like RTX4090

@@sergiofonseca2285 I think it was a 3090

@@wasw so NVIDIA was to blame? That’s messed up

@@Papasot Yep sounds like that issue with the Nvidia connectors for sure. On a side note, I feel for your pops, that's rough. I hope his boss or client at least cut him some slack and let him redo it. I work in the architecture, BIM industry, think model buildings in 3D and make construction documents (blueprints) to be followed in the field. This type of thing is the exact reason I am obsessive about backing up my work on external hard drives. It's not as much of an issue now on larger projects because of the way the industry has moved to work sharing through cloud sharing. But say 5-10 years ago you could imagine if you were the sole person for a small scale architecture firm working on a Revit model for 3-4 months and then poof it's gone. Meanwhile you had GC's with permits in hand and everyone ready to go. It'd be a bad day.

Interesting yeah go for MSI or Asrock Next time

@@AnonymousUser-ww6ns I used to have everything MSI back then, but ASUS was regarded as *the* brand. Suppose that's a far distant past now

Interesting same here. I used value ASUS as well. But after the recent events, quality control, and their handling. I decided that ASUS is no longer a good brand. MSI on the other hand feels premium and there products seem to be better quality. In addition their RMA service is decent. For me MSI form now on.

@@AnonymousUser-ww6ns Personalyl I have had a pretty bad experience with MSI and their gpu's where absolute garbage form plastic backplates to only covering half of the vram chip with a thermal pad. Or that they are the only 4090 aib that doesn't use a vapor chaimber on their cards (except suprim x) But on the otherhand their motherboards do seem solid. I think that you should buy an MSI motherboard and an ASUS GPU because that's what those two company's excell in.

Hmm interesting point. I’ll take note of that.

I build my new rig after 10 years of slaving my old trusty piece of garbage, considered buying an ASUS board at first but after watching a couple of Jays videos and Steve's I decided against it and went with a 300€ expensive MSI Tomahawk board. Absolutely satisfied with it so far.

Were the cpu and motherboard compatible? as in bios update?

@@TwiztedHarlequin As long as it isn't the z790 tomahawk. That one has been recalled partially due to cracking pch's

Well my 7800x3d cpu isn't fried yet, so far so good. Just have to make sure the BIOS for your ASUS motherboard is somewhat new and the SOC voltage isn't too high.

I guess it would be only fair to say that GPU overclocking is still a thing. What I was talking about was CPU

With overclocking he is talking about Multi-core-enhancement. Intel set's the powerlimit to 253 watts on 125w sku's ASUS ai overclocking sets the maximum op to 4095watt And pushes extra voltage to make the cpu always turbo up to it's maximum speed. That is also technically overclocking because you go out of powerlimit speck but you don't go out of clockspeed spec

That's because most stock clock frequencies and settings have become quite good. So you don't really need to overclock, it's not necessary.

Yes Sir, thank you. I am using a midrange HP Laptop, working good.

That was always my mentality. People who overclock their PCs don't seem to do anything important on those machines. Having an unstable system for bragging rights and FPS seems silly given the potential downsides. Might as well buy better hardware if you want better performance.

The only reason to buy a high-end motherboard is because you want to overclock! There is literally no other feature that matters which justifies spending 250% price premium on a high-end motherboard!

I got my 16 core 5950x to run 6% faster. Literally I now have a 17 core CPU..

What if they already have the fastest CPU and GPU available? You don't really need to spend extra for a fancy motherboard, my CPU has been overclocked by 600Mhz (15%) for about the last decade and it's never caused any issues. I'm not trying to break any records, it's just nice to have 15% extra performance for no extra cost....well besides higher electricity use.

@@GigaChad_169 I agree on overclocking your PC to the point it's unstable just for bragging rights, but that's a fairly niche level of overclocking. I'd imagine most people who overclock just want a bit of extra performance from the hardware they already own. My CPU has been overclocked by 600Mhz for about 10 years, 15% extra performance for no extra hardware cost is pretty nice.

Why would you, this video is just a clickbite. The other manufacturers are not better, probably Gigabyte is closest to ASUS in quality, despite some people saying MSI is better... it's not. ASUS has the most robust testing and QA checks.

At least don't get a new gpu from: MSI/Gigabyte/Zotac. Those all cheap out on components. Unless you are getting the MSI Suprim X. That is a solid card

@@Slav4o911 Asus is trash. After my issues with them and my Z790 Extreme and PG48UQ I will never use them again. I should have known better since the Asus X99 Mobo in my Titan Xp build died. Replaced my Titan XP system and my 4090 system with MSI mother boards and have had 0 issues.

@John-PaulHunt-wy7lf I have a predator helios 300. And my keyboard got messed up. So I was considering getting a lenovo legion

I had a terrible experience, The motherboard got 105C (mosfets can will only allow 50% of current through @100c) and next throttled. The cpu was always running at 80c during gaming and 45c at idle. Terrible coil whine. PSU was from a sketchy chinese brand (huntkey). The SSD didn't have a heatsink and got well into the 70c (dangerous). The legion software allowed 3 different fan modes: Silent, Basic and performance. All three had the exact same fan curve but every tier just set the temperature limit for the cpu 10C higher. (Which is dangerous for longevitiy of the cpu). PRO's: -It turned on Cons: -Motherboard was always at 80C+ (Even at idle) -All component were running hot. -Had 4 blue screens within 6 months. (build a new pc out of it and haven't had a blue screen since) -Cheap build quality I would recommend buying a pc from micro center in the us or if that isn't possible get a pc from a local pc store that was costum build. And you can always build it yourself because then you not only know how it works but also how to repair it incase things go wrong.

Tip: just don't buy a gaming laptop. Every gaming laptop uses these hinges, HP and MSI both do it. Infact MSI even got a class action lawsuit due to their weaponized incompetence with their hinges.

No. The motherboard issue that this video is talking about is for Intel sockets... 11 months ago. This video is OLD news.
