I wasn't old enough to be invested in PCs when ASRock was seen as the "cheap" PC parts manufacturer, but from accounts of people I talked to that were, I learned that they were seen that way, and their older parts were actually cheaply made from what I researched too. As well as ASUS being the opposite.

Now in the past couple years with ASUS dropping the ball with every opportunity they get, becoming public enemy #1 with the exploding X3D CPUs, refusing to RMA anything from that, the ROG Ally killing flash cards, and refusing to RMA anything from that, and their 4080/4090s melting and refusing to RMA anything from that. And now blackmailing people who do try to RMA their parts (by saying that if you refuse to pay more than what your ASUS product is worth to repair it, they will return what you tried to RMA either damaged or disassembled) it's insane that ASUS has become the "cheap" company in a sense, as this behavior is something you'd only expect from a company that sells you cheap products that want to give up at a moments notice, and then nickel and dime you when you try to get help or have it repaired.

As well, the new ASUS 7900 XT/X looks just like how they behave now, cheap. Plus, ASRock is releasing a new XOC board for the next Intel generation, hell, Tom's hardware accidentally leaked it.

I have a X670E Taichi motherboard, I previously had a B450 Pro4 motherboard, and my friend has a X570 Taichi motherboard, and goddamn, they all are so good. I haven't tried their graphics cards yet, they look a bit ugly, but I bet they're as good as well. Hell, I ran the "unsafe" bios for a whole year on my X670E board until recently, and my 7950X3D didn't blow up unlike the ASUS, MSI, or Gigabyte boards :D

Original Title: The seller has ASUS ROG GTX 1080 for about $55, but he says it crashes the PC in 10 minutes if the game isn't running in the background. Crash causes the monitor to show random colors like this, reinstalling windows & drivers doesn't help. I've never heard anything like this, any thoughts?
