ASUS

Basic mistakes like putting SSDs next to heatpipe, combined with different slot availability, tells me everything about how ASUS approaches engineering their products and how much they care about their products. Just soldified my opinion they're pretty meh as a company. Probably serious issues at mid-level management and QC, somebody in there doesn't give a f\*ck. If they wouldn't have issues, this laptop config wouldn't make it to production line in it's current form, and they wouldn't seriously be saying things like "But it makes the SSD cooler!

Asus does not follow AMD's Advantage program and limits which G15AE laptops get what vBIOS firmware updates which are causing a string of random instabilities. One of the principals of the Advantage program is for the OEM(Asus in this case) to follow guidelines(rules, really) on the "Advantage" named devices which includes firmware support levels for security, stability, and performance. ​. Asus does not do this.

e're gonna start screwing it in and there's nothing special about this string in process they're just really long screws because they go through the entire frame of the cooler and they take forever so next up cables every power supply is gonna come with a big bag of velcro cables it's kind of daunting at first so you always have to find the ones that are gonna fit in this case you need to match those cables with the correct descriptions on the power supply next step is we're connecting the power supply to the mug for with the 24 pin cable we're just matching that cable from the motherboard threading it through the back and attaching the 24 pin header to the power supply so that we can have one of the connections complete the next few additions will be for the GPU for any specific ports that the case has for any lighting that the case has the CPU cooler the anything else really we're installing the CPU the heart of the computer or the brain depending on how you look at it so to do this we're just going to remove the plastic covering that they put on the motherboard we're just gonna take this little plastic part out we'll just toss that out of here and now we have an exposed CPU holder or rather slot on the motherboard and we're gonna use the CPU applicator this is a special little part that not everyone may get but this motherboard that we got from Asus definitely does have its called a CPU installation tool it makes it really useful if you want to install a core i7 hexa core CPU yeah we've got one and it's an eighth generation chip and it's ready to go and it supports overclocking so what having this little installer does for you is it's basically a brace that you can apply right to the CPU and light it up with the triangles that you'll see on the bottom left corners and this will make it easier for us to apply it to the motherboard and then apply thermal paste and then apply a CPU cooler on top and we're just gonna carefully lean it down into the system and make sure that everything lines up and we're gonna clasp down on it and we'll be good to go so we're about to apply thermal paste to the CPU every CPU cooler actually comes with a bit of thermal paste already neatly applied in a circle around it but it's usually not enough it's good essentially PC building practice to have a little bit extra and layer it on top of the CPU the final portion is to add the CPU cooler to the top end of the processor so you're gonna see that there are four Kitt's or rather like screws in here with brackets and holders right here and they're going to keep the cooler raised off the processor but it's also going to be close enough to actually physically come in contact with it like basically keep it cool take thumb screws like this and just screw them on so now that our internals are done we're gonna put all the panels back on which is the top glass sight glass front glass and of course the back panel where all this fun stuff is happening so we've fully built the PC.

ASUS will never receive another dollar from me. I will be saving up for a better brand, learned my lesson. tldr; ASUS products randomly break down. Even under warranty they will do everything they can to make you pay ridiculous amounts.

Unless big changes are made I'll never consider buying an ASUS product again. Completely disappointing user experience.

Not a good enough solution. * Currently using my trusty Asus router and an old 100Mbps powerline adapter and getting 15-20Mbps to the office. Should I bite the bullet and have ethernet drops and a main switch installed or should I try using another router as bridge or mesh network and wire into it? The reviews for Asus's mesh network don't look good.

I had a ASUS, the difference is huge. It takes a while to adjust to the new software but I like it a lot! I wont go back!

I bought my first gaming laptop from Asus and it started having issues a couple months after purchase. I sent it in for warranty repair (which took a month) and they messed it up even more. After talking with multiple reps over several days they finally agreed to give me a different model laptop as a replacement device for my troubles.

It only comes on at boot for a brief moment. Not heard it kick in any other time. Surprised a decent brand like Asus would have a board that spins the fan at 3k rpm even idle...

Post this on r/asus. It's good and you'll get a bigger audience who mainly use Asus laptops.
