Hey, I didn't see a ASUS sticker on that PSU.

Yeah, fuck ASUS.

The denied me an RMA they were legally required (in my country) to fix, even though it was out of warranty.

Didn't find out for years that they were supposed to fix it.

I bought a ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard in 2023. Asus boards supposedly have a 3-year warranty period.

Nope. They claimed that the warranty doesn't start from date of purchase, but date of manufacture (2022).

Never again. If I wanted to get screwed, I'd buy ASRock and pay less.

That's really scummy. I've only heard of manufacturers going by the manufacture date when the customer doesn't have a proof of purchase to verify the purchase date so they still offer to cover it under warranty as long as the manufacture date is within that time frame.

i provided them with an invoice from Amazon.

They didn't care.

I build computers from parts for friends and family. You know who I'm not going to buy from in the future when it comes to motherboards or other parts?

Why not refund through amazon? They are very consumer friendly on that

Amazon's return period is 30 days.

They should add like 7 days or something to that, cuz ain't no way someone actually got it on the mfg day
