I could almost be called an ASUS fanboy, since I have bought ASUS boards almost exclusively for at least 20 years now. But this thread raises a question for me that will be very important in 12-18 months, when I upgrade my rig again. Among the other major motherboard makers. which has the best record for defects and RMA repairs. Same question for BIOS quality and number of years of BIOS support. What do you guys think?I haven't bought an Asus product in over 10 years. There's a reason for this. Multiple reasons actually. Besides Asus stuff breaking often, it is a pain to get anything RMA'd. Also compared to other companies, I feel that Asus charges more for less. It's one of those situations where Asus has long standing brand recognition and is now abusing it.
