I'm guessing when you started dismantling their hardware they decided it was no longer their problem.

And ya their technical support needs some serious work, I'm guessing you checked out their knowlege base and/or forum for answers to absolutely nothing, which is all they have.

Surely ASUS should know more about the cooling requirements of their own motherboards than a third party water cooling kit manufacturer!!I used to think ASUS were good but  1) They don't seem to be able to communicate in english/don't have an english speaking site and  2)They don't seem to be able to provide any form of technical support!!YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED/ADVISED :-)))))
