A bit disappointing with ASUS

[king1]

would be sad if this is just a sponsorship row, it's not a good way to end it.  and contractually I'd be surprised if there isn't a clause in the sponsorship deal that deals with this sort of behaviour

The way he was talking it appeared he was trying to negotiate their sponsorship renewal as the contract had expired and was not getting anywhere, looks like this was the last straw, but there are other youtubers covering this same issue on this board, kinda nuts that the BIOS update that fixes the CPU's cooking up actually voids the warranty. Dunno whats up with that.
I will be watching LTT closely regarding this, he hasn't uploaded any videos about this as far as I know.

he might find himself on the wrong end of a lawsuit if that was the case - you can't do stuff like that just because your contract wasn't renewed.  It really throws a bit of doubt on his claim of firing them because of product performance when it might be just a bit of sour grapes on his part because his contract wasn't renewed.  

Probably not the first influencer to overestimate their influence... 

and personally I've always used gigabyte with no real issues in the last 10 years or so... But I don't do that many builds TBH.
