Looking at the Video, it does come across as a bit of sour grapes, then of course there's the one event he hits on multiple times- the BETA BIOS upgrade .. Well anyone with half a brain knows BETA means its not complete, can be unstable and ASUS do warn a person of that.
When it comes to flashing a BIOS, ALL the manufactures state it can give problems.
Heres the Warning from Gigabyte, even on approved BIOS upgrades
"Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction."
The 2nd board he displayed, even said it wasn't new.
Of course every so often you'll get a DOA board, but over the 20+ years and building over a thousand Computers ( literally) had very few MB DOA's Well apart from Asrock when working for Quay's. (what a nightmare those were)

Upgrades = Old bugs replaced with new Bugs.
