ASUS Motherboard has recently issued an official update regarding its innovative easy GPU installation and removal design. The update delves into how the design works, operational methods, potential GPU damage risks, and associated after-sales service measures. Recently, some gamers encountered "bricking" issues with RTX 5090/5090D GPUs when paired with ASUS motherboards, rendering them unusable. Some have attributed this to ASUS's easy installation and removal design. However, ASUS officially asserts that based on their thorough investigation, there is no direct link between GPU damage and this design. Instead, many "bricking" incidents have occurred following driver updates. ASUS emphasizes that adhering to the correct insertion and removal techniques outlined in the operation guide typically does not cause significant wear and tear to the GPU. Furthermore, ASUS pledges to fully support affected users and offer comprehensive after-sales services.
