Question Are Asus Motherboards Viable now?

[23dexter89]

Hey Community,

It's been a while since I have done a build, so i am very much out of touch. With the new Ryzen 7000 series chips, I decided to go for a fresh build from scratch.

While researching, I came across an issue highlighting Network problems associated with Asus Motherboards along with a whole slew of other QC related complaints.

Are these issues still present? Of should I go for an alternative brand like Gigabyte or MSI?

Thanks in Advance!

P.S. I do understand that QC issues can happen in any brand.. I am referring to the specific issues like the Intel I225-V issue.

As long as you don't expect to contact Asus customer support - Asus is good.
But if you expect to deal with Asus, best to avoid them.

Gigabyte does the MoBo revision shenanigans to this very date.
Article when public found out about shenanigans: https://web.archive.org/web/2015022...hing-it-a-motherboard-revision-too-far,3.html

So, i wouldn't suggest Gigabyte either.

MSI, in the past, has also gotten into hot water;

Though, i, personally, am using MSI MoBos, GPUs and monitor. Thus far, i've been pleased with MSI.

But when to exclude the three (Asus, Gigabyte and MSI), it only essentially leaves AsRock.
Still, none are perfect.

Overall about MoBos:
