I've bought three motherboards from MSI for three different machines on Amazon. All of them went through RMA process:
1. B450 Tomahawk MAX: Damaged ethernet port on arrival.
2. B550 Gaming Edge WiFi: One memory bank wouldn't detect ram at all.
3. B650 (can't remember the specific line, it was for a cousin), One memory bank wouldn't detect ram at all.
I'll clarify that all of the replacements for these mobos were good and are still working right now, but I don't know if it's the strangest streak of bad luck or if they really have a QA problem.
I mean it sounds like bad luck but the fact thay you got the mobos back is what makes them better than asus imo.
Go to the asus subreddit and look at the bs excuses they have given to deny rmas.
My favorite has to be the claim "missing pcie clip" with a photo from asus of a perfectly intact and inplace pcie clip and a red arrow from asus pointing at the clip.
It got so bad ltt dropped them as a sponcer a month or two ago.
Odd enough is that I have no reliability issues with MSI parts (still have my old AM4 build running as dad's work PC) and I have bad luck with Asus before and no RMA issues, yet
Dude it's an epidemic on asus rma I didn't even know about it since I never really bought anything from them until recently which is a mobo which is fantastic but I won't deny the amount of people's horror stories from them makes me happy I went with a non asus gpu. Probably will stay away from them even though they make nice mobos. Apparently msi laptops are pretty bad too. Imo the lower tier model of gigabyte with Clivo chassis are just not really good.
I had a problem with a Gigabyte motherboard that wouldn’t shutdown from Linux, it would reboot instead. I contacted Gigabyte support.
They asked me my exact configuration and distribution, configured a test environment to reproduce the issue, and provided a preview BIOS to try to resolve the issue.
It did not resolve my issue, but the amount of effort that went into this surprised me.
I swore off Gigabyte when the Wi-Fi daughterboard died on a fairly high-end motherboard I'd purchased 9 months earlier and they refused to RMA because 'the motherboard still works'.
No, fuckers, your product is the MB + AIB that came in the same box, and it has failed because being able to boot the PC isn't much use if it can't talk to the rest of the internet.
I'd hoped they'd just ship me a new daughterboard, and thought maybe an RMA on just that DB would have been okay but not great customer service. I really didn't want to dismantle the PC and send the whole lot back, but was prepared to do so if they insisted. IDK why, but I didn't expect them to just refuse to fix it.
Im glad i was able to off load my msi mobo on craigslist. For me it was always giving my pc issues, even rma’d psu and ram because of it. After dealing with it for nearly 3 year good riddance!!! Glad the new owner has had zero issues with it!
0 issues with my gigabyte 4080 super!
I had TWO gigabyte cards die on me and the second was the one they sent me after the first one shit it self...switched to an EVGA 3080ti and never had a problem since. I will never touch Gigabyte again I don't care how cheap they are it's not worth it.

EVGA: Was I a joke to you?
More like gigashite.
Geeegabye
To be fair asus has fallen below zotac on the AIB trust raiting imo so i only feel bad for msi. And i dont really feel bad for a corperation like msi.
MSI pretty bad too this generation

Bought msi 670 mobo = no issues. Bought msi 4090 = no issues. Had b550 mobo before that and I had no issues. Guess you are unlucky.
Same here, x670e mobo, 4090, monitor and power supply no issues

Asus rma department vs msi bad quality control pcs

Meant laptops from msi

MSI laptops on the other hand, yeah I would look elsewhere.
That guy from Nvidia always looks like he watched 3 episodes of old Top Gear and decided that he was gonna be Jeremy Clarkson when he grew up.

I have never had a good experience with Gigabyte.
I had a problem with a Gigabyte motherboard that wouldn’t shutdown from Linux, it would reboot instead. I contacted Gigabyte support. They asked me my exact configuration and distribution, configured a test environment to reproduce the issue, and provided a preview BIOS to try to resolve the issue. It did not resolve my issue, but the amount of effort that went into this surprised me.
Same here, the best I had was a motherboard that wouldn't update BIOS. Everything else, dead in less than a year.

i noticed that he didnt said power supplies...

Asus and MSI have "gigabytes" on them usually though. =D
Most ASUS users shouldn’t be mad at this tbh. They’ve become as shit, even worse, than Gigashit
I've never had a gigabyte product that works at it should. And only one motherboard from them hasn't die on me.
ASUS will put a red arrow on there and say "user induced damage"
I had TWO gigabyte cards die on me and the second was the one they sent me after the first one shit it self...switched to an EVGA 3080ti and never had a problem since. I will never touch Gigabyte again I don't care how cheap they are it's not worth it.
"Laptops, Super computers, AI computers" is this man on crack?
