Asus said there was nothing wrong with the mechanism so this must just be an aesthetic change!

Remember last year, ASUS said it was ignoring warranty law WORLDWIDE for motherboards shipped as new, but were actually damaged returned units. They said NO motherboard at all would have a warranty, and if you weren't happy, sue them.

THIS year they said 5080 5090 etc would have NO WARRANTY worldwide, ignoring warranty laws so if their system damaged your GPU, you could sue them. They literally DARED people to try suing.

I've avoided ASUS ever since. They know that not 100% of customers will sue, and think this is somehow going to generate long term profits.

I've literally recommended for 10s of thousands of tech-refresh PCs for large and small companies that they avoid ASUS and its law flouting like the plague.

Quietly? What should they do? Technology has been quietly evolving for decades. Kind of what it does. This wasn't a brand new technology It was a small iteration of a technology that they had created previously. It's obviously a way to reduce costs.

Lol it's too bad that the people never heard your recommendations. Did you also recommend a Coca-Cola to keep the red color that They have had for generations? I know I did.
