Asus can burn in hell.

[The Conservative]

Not only did I lose two data drives and my HD because the Asus motherboard decided to cause them to smoke in ruin. It just destroyed my processor by melting the pins.

I am going to be dealing with their support for a while to get this fixed.

Till that happens, I have to practically rebuild a PC from scratch.

Thankfully 90% of my data is backed up. The 10% that isn't is work-related and it can fuck off.

Damn dude.
What kind of power supply you put in that thing?
Surge protectors are your friend.

Sorry to hear about the PC meltdown, that really sucks.
I thought you were a Mac guy tho? What you doing with Asus?

800W power supply, surge protector for the computer only set for 1200 amps.

And I am a hardcore Mac guy, but my work is PC-based, so since I am 100% WFH I have to have a PC. So I built it.

Oh, and another side note, the processor is fused to the Motherboard now...

Somehow my video card survived, no idea how...

I went with ASUS-Tuf Gaming board because of the good reviews... fucking hell liars...

I just got an MSI Tomahawk the weight difference between the two, night and day... the MSI has a good pound on it.

Proper airflow is important.

Proper airflow is important.

There is plenty of airflow. There are Four 120mm fans two in the front, One 80mm in the back, the processor is liquid-cooled with the radiator and it's 120mm fans on top of the case.

Seems to me airflow isn't the problem.

This is the case:

Would have if the case was cheaply built...just a lot of smoke and well, yeah...
