How would I describe my experience
How would I describe my experience? I paid 315 USD for this motherboard when I bought it. I just wanted to buy "quality" goods... Well, it goes like this... I WILL NEVER BUY ASUS AGAIN. Let me sum it up: I have an ASUS monitor at home for 1,350 USD - I must point out that it does NOT have normal color display and it cannot be fixed. Most of the scenic modes are literally a tragedy. It suffers from the so-called glow effect. I bought an ASUS laptop for 1,980 USD... during one year it was in for repair 4 times, each for 30 days... I must say all of them were successful - they replaced the cooling system, they replaced the motherboard, but the problem was not solved... Already during the third repair, I found out from the online community that at the time of purchase, ASUS had already known for 6 months that they were selling faulty goods. Even so, it did not deter me from buying this motherboard again(!) from ASUS. Everything was fine until I got a NAS and plugged my CAT6A cable into this motherboard. It would never have occurred to me that a motherboard that had been working properly all along could be faulty as soon as you switch it to 2.5GbE. Of course, I thought it was a faulty cable, a faulty new NAS, or a software error, so I bought a 2.5GbE switch. The same problem persisted the entire time. I bought a USB hub with 2.5GbE, plugged the cable into it, and everything was fine. At that moment, it "clicked". No faulty cable, switch, NAS. Yes! I even bought new network cables. I pinged the NAS from my laptop (via WiFi, where I would eventually expect dropouts) and via cable from this motherboard... well, what do you think? Dropouts via the network cable from the motherboard... When I knew the motherboard was faulty, I sent it in for repair - successfully. They returned it saying they had repaired it... I respect that they re-soldered a chip on the motherboard - if they manage it, it's great. ASUS successfully repaired a motherboard like this for me years ago. I had it at home for about 24 hours... I tested it. Same defect. So they sent me a supposedly repaired product that shows the same defect? Yes, indeed... So I sent it back to them. The claim was rejected. Times change, people in companies change, and what used to be quality and quality service simply no longer applies today. Do you want to buy a quality laptop? I recommend Lenovo. Do you want a quality motherboard? I recommend Gigabyte. Do you want a quality monitor? I recommend HP. SIMPLY NOT ASUS! And this was the last product I ever bought from ASUS, and I had a ton of their products and regularly work with competing brands! It's just something to put on display, because for me, it's overpriced and unusable junk...
