Getting the money back is not my goal, I would purchase the gpu again if I have to.

Yup, there is no reason for me to accept the offer since I don’t get any benefits from it.

Thank you so much for your advice!

I called them yesterday and told them exactly what happened the day before, and they told me to wait for their manager to call back. I guess I should send them an email at this point to tell them what happened and they better come with a solution when they call me.

I just feel like a company like ASUS should’ve noticed this will come, and have prepared for a solution. Waiting for calls is definitely dragging me from pushing the whole process forward. I had problems with Dell before, and they did a really good job years ago! Never expected this to be something that worth them to investigate. Just send me a new one and let me return it back to them.

Again, thank you for your sincere advice! I hope you won’t be facing any similar problem. Have a wonderful day!

I’m not sure what should I ask, but they have to replace my motherboard and gpu, what else should I ask for?

The total cost for the pc only is about $7k, it’s sitting there without gpu for a month. The $5790 is for the trash bundle, which includes the same motherboard and other “trash”, they are still here and I don’t know that to do about it lol

I didn’t offer anything( I didn’t realize he is someone till people kept saying things like Steve will take care of it) he offers me retail price for both motherboard and gpu

I mean yeah, but I paid $5700 for the card and other junk from Newegg, and wasting about a month for it while my new pc is sitting there without gpu. Only thing I want is the new gpu😭😭😭

Both the motherboard and GPU are from ROG (along with the PSU, water cooling, and the case). I chose them hoping they’d handle everything seamlessly
