Do you still believe in Asus?
There have been many problems with ASUS motherboards failing CPUs. You're considering a new PC and aren't sure which motherboard to choose. You're thinking about buying an Asus board but wondering if you can rely on them anymore. Your idea is to go for the Asus Rog Strix Z790-E Gaming Wifi.
They've made adjustments for those who truly wish, while also highlighting other options from Gigabyte.
Each brand has its own approach, making it hard to rely on anyone. Just choose what fits your budget. The problem mentioned specifically involved Ryzen X3D processors, and I’m not familiar with any recent Intel burned CPUs.
If you doubt Asus, then you may not trust Gigabyte, MSI, Asrock... All these brands had issues before. Choose whichever fits your needs. But verify reviews first. For specific problems, check Gamers.Nexus—they list recent failures and some are resolved https://gamers.nexus/failure-list
Companies often face challenges too. MSI is dealing with serious problems involving their R series AIOs, with many recalls and a very poor response. Asus made a major mistake with the BIOS and X3D, while Asrock had a reputation issue a few years ago. Gigabyte’s PSU failures and cooling issues on older GPUs are notable, especially with my ASUS TUF B650 Plus—WiFi works great, and I’ve used an ASUS motherboard for my 9900k. I’ll likely stick with ASUS for motherboards now, appreciating their BIOS, but I’m cautious about other brands.
