This son of a bitch motherboard killed 2 3060TIs

    I sold a PC fully working, even gave a demo to the buyer but when he took it home it powered up fine but GPU fans ramped up then PC turned off

    Got him to bring it back and we spent over an hour troubleshooting, PC worked fine with no GPU inside using intel IGPU

    Thought, oh the GPU must’ve died, plugged a second 3060TI in to test with and PC just wouldn’t boot

    So I ended up swapping a shit ton of components over a the hour and eventually just refunded the guy

    I get to diagnostic and find out anything you plug into the X16 slot will be killed, but rest of PC works fine

    So now this little H310 which has been murdered in anger, soon to be axed, has cost me hundreds in dead GPUs

    I assume when the guy took it home he damaged the slot somehow as this PC was working fine 2 months ago and on demo

    Anytime I’ve had to fix and sell intel based systems it’s been nothing but major ball ache

  2. Were the pins in the CPU socket that damaged when you sold the desktop, or was that done later…?

    It’s possible something got into the PCIe slot and is shorting a couple pins.

  3. Well, it’s the cheapest Mobo you can find.

    Because its Asus. And how were you even using this thing?

    Silly question but have you tried a different PSU, it my be the power draw of the GPU is too much for the PSU to handle (I have a similar issue with an AMD system that refuses to boot 50% of the time if I have an AMD 6750xt installed but the 1650 Super works fine, plug a different PSU in and the card works just fine and doesn’t crash the system.

    are you sure it’s the motherboard? It’s more likely that PSUs kill components, not the motherboard.

    Maybe you could’ve contacted Asus about it but I don’t think it is happening after what you did to the board.

    id check your psu before motherboard.

    You can’t make this shit up. I literally just disassembled this motherboard, checked internet prices to see its price range so I could sell it, and then when I decided to check on Reddit, I see literally the same mobo as the first post… I guess, do you want a replacement 😂?

    Hey! I think you have some pins bent, might wana check that out 🙃

    What’s up with those pins bruh, get that shit off the road

    am in no way surprise.

    i seen a odd list of things to go wrong.

    i still have a mobo. itself is fine.

    but the battery slot is simple died.

    another board i had bad soldering on sata ports.

    I have this mobo so far I’ve had zero problems and I run an 3070 with it. It was probably just a bad board

    Oh man, I am really scared, I have a 3060ti too. Can’t afford it if it breaks. Graphics cards can die by multiple variables.

    Kindly provide the earliest signs of your card failing.

    Is for Intel 6th gen and 7 th gen i have the same motherboard but is for ddr3

  16. bughunter47

    Have that same board in two of my office computers, one with a 1070 in it and another with a RX 480 in it.

    No issues with my units, mind you, I fix computers for a living…

    Real question – how is it a son and a mother at the same time?

  18. Northwinder81

    GPUs don’t die so easily even mobo is faulty. But
    mobos are easy to destroy, just a slight hit with screwdriver in wrong place and that’s it..been there..
    Bad PSU also can do a lot of damage, and doing some wrong connections it can destroy any component, but usually my diagnostic starts with mobo then ram, cpu and lastly gpu. Never buy some weird brand, cheap or used PSU it’s the main rule.

    You might want to blame your power supple and not the motherboard. What brand power supple do you have?

    That sucks. I had a motherboard that killed my USB devices and then all the ports stopped working 💀
