Re: Asus Motherboard ?
They sold enough their stock values went to shit and they were worried about going bankrupt.
When all the lawsuits are finalized they may still go bankrupt.

The reason Asus aren't different than other brands for you personally [I've seen what you sell] is that you only deal with obsolete or almost obsolete boards. [I'm not putting that down. I do a lot of that too. Just sayin' that's what it is.]
.
By the time boards are that old all the junkers have been culled out and trashed already so you never see them.
In effect you are only buying boards that -passed- this 'burn in' test called 'actual use'.
IOW: You only see the boards that managed to last a few years.
That's a very effective way of leveling the field so far as board quality goes.
.
And crap boards is only 1/2 of why Asus is a crap brand.
The other 1/2 is the companies attitude toward end-users and their underhanded business practices.
You don't run into that because the boards you see are out of warranty before you even get them.

I was still doing Experts Exchange when Asus and Gigabyte went all Poly.
The number of new postings for GA problems didn't change noticably but the number new Asus problems went up 5 or 6 times and stayed there.
[You'd notice here too if brand new Asus boards suddenly started showing up with problems at a rate of 10-12 a week.]
.
What happened was GA designed new boards for polys.
Asus just stuck polys on Lytic designs and expected that to work [obviously] without doing any real testing.
I wasn't impressed with Asus before that happened.
Their response to the caps plague was to pretend there wasn't one and make you replace everything except the mobo before they would approve an RMA - that's on boards very well documented as caps blowers elsewhere [like here] on-line.
When they couldn't even build stable boards using all polys that was it. - I was done with Asus.
The Asus engineers should get jobs they can handle.
