[XFastest] Puts different boards through VRM heat test, which will burn first?

[Andrew LB]

That part there - relying on what they said, it implies we don't test anything and just take the stock solution and put it on the board. Anyway, let's move on.

I've been running Asus boards for about 15 years now, and after seeing how they treated many customers who were sold defective boards... I'll be looking for a more ethical company for myself and customers. Asus should have thought things through because the costs of "greasing a squeaky wheel" would have been far cheaper than the bad reputation.

And before you try to defend your employer... everyone knows Asus will never admit to the boards being faulty. Doing so would immediately open the flood gates to lawsuits or even a big class action.

This is what makes me laugh at all the anti Gigabutt Asus shills on this forum, because god know Asus has such a sterling reputation in comparison. Their boards, specially low to upper midrange are often overpriced and underbuilt in comparison to their competitors, as are their notebooks. The whole operation just oozes arrogance from the pricing, marketing and most of all their customer service.
