Asus Anomaly

So I noticed something weird. ASUS's Z_70 boards are always broken. Ive gone through at least 4 board within one year, exchanging as I go. Does this happen to other people? My local micro-center has 6 open boxes returns of the Z270E gaming and only one or two of all other boards.

270 boards only?

 

I'm running a Z170A from Asus for just over a year now. No problems whatsoever.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

No I ran a z170 that came DOA and another that I used until I started to do maintenance and the USB 3.0 pins on it broke, then I upgraded to the z270 which just recently died and now the new one is DOA. On the local parts dealers website it has way more returns then anyother MB that they sell.
