They also refuses CASH BACK's ! Still waiting over 3 years now for $130 ! ( an motherboard and GPU combo ) But they can keep it ! I will NEVER buy any ASUS product ever again !
I wanted to buy ASUS TUF B650 motherboard ... I'm glad that i wasn't that naive and bought MSI MPG B650 Edge instead. One year later still no problems. Paired with 7800x3D and 7800xt.
It should be illegal and sue-able to reject warranty for something that isn't the root cause of the problem. Asus is infamous for this. The owner should mail Asus Taiwan regarding this.
You should put a vacuum cleaner nozzle next to the MOSFET when you grind so it keeps it dust free so you can see precisely, ie, less chance of over-grinding with clear vision.
Tilt your board on a slant and use distilled water to wash away debris as you dremel so you don't grind into the board to far. Flush generously with isopropyl 90% and blow dry the board.
This is still the biggest hurdle with am5. Can get am5 mobos for a fair price now, ddr5 is finally quite affordable, but the CPU are still so expensive! Was hoping for the 7600 to get much cheaper now 9000 series out but it hasn't happened! Even perhaps they should have released a 4 core 7400 for basis office tasks to start the phase out of am4! Great repair though, I'm not surprised you were nervous hitting the power button after paying out for a CPU!
I have this mainboard in the wifi version and now I'm a tad worried. LOL It was PC Games Hardware's value for money recommendation and I bought it for 145€. So far I'm very happy with it. ^^
This is great news. I did drop a comment a while ago asking about if you could fix an Asus AM5 X670E-F. It has power to the rgb, but no response to power pins. I think there is a short, but it was becoming a rabbit hole. I tried looking at it, but its WAY beyond me.
AFAIK, very often, as you said, the VRM is overbuilt for handling R9 CPUs, and to work at lower temps, since reviewers like Hardware Unbloxed give attention to that in their reviews nowadays
I have one MSI B450 motherboard running with 3 phases instead of 4 for years now. The CPU is only 65W so it handles it. Here on this board it should be totally fine even with overclocked 16-core, but this board stands as a proof that no matter how strong your VRM is, you can always hit a faulty component that trainwrecks everything.
amazing video! just one thing to point out, this is a B650 variant not the x670e you have in the title 😉. I actually bought this exact model to fix as well, with a short on the 12v cpu line too, but the mosfets on mine look all intact physically. Is there any tips on how I can test the mosfets individually to see wich one is malfunctioning? Keep up the good work, I'm always on here to see when you upload next, love your content and learned soo many things regarding mainboard repairs!
Hello. AM5 boards consume almost 100W at the end of p.o.s.t. They don't like pico psu and different memory modules. That kind of DrMos failure often kills VRM controller. You're lucky one. Flat and less aggressive milling cutter do the job.
this happens to me while soldering the mosfet with a hot air set @ 370c its been like 3 minutes and the mosfet still won't come off to the pcb that it cracks because of the long heat exposure, i dont know if my hot air aint strong enough, I will try to get a piston powered hot air nxt time
Great repair, Pretty bad that Asus refused warranty on this as its clearly a failure on the hardware itself and not the marks on the board, Just shows you that they do not inspect the boards properly or make any sort of logical decisions with these RMAs...with that said, I had a fantastic RMA experience with Gigabyte.
Imagine taking your car back to a dealership for an engine fault but they refuse because you have some key scratches on the door... I wont be buying Asus anymore.
i dont know what happent to asus brand they become stupid and cheap , chep i mean thye not liio to good components any amore i have hare 1555 p8 h67 modo and still working o.0 and old p3 mobo
Hello, I have a ASRock taichi lite b650e motherboard that I have narrowed down what the issue is somewhat and wanted to see if you could take a look at it? I would RMA it but I damaged one of the holes where you screw it into the motherboard when I over tighten it. Every time I touch a certain part of the motherboard with my finger. It starts to boot up all the way into bios, even into the windows instal usb. Mouse and keyboard both work but the moment I take my finger off the motherboard it freezes and my mouse no longer moves and the debug led goes back to reading “00’. I think maybe something needs to be re-soldered but I’m not sure. I can let you know more if you’re up for it. I am willing to pay for the repair. Don’t want to lose the money for this board if it can’t be Rma’d 😢
And yet you're still giving Asus all your money. You deserve to be scammed by these big companies. It's only thanks to repair guys like this man that these scammers get exposed. Keep giving asus your money. Keep buying games made by fahgs.
Your channel is my favourite for electronics repair. Always excited to see a new vid!
asus refused the warrenty something totally new ;D

A little donation for purchasing testing CPU and ram😉
Holy Moly! Ive never received anything like this! Thank you very much! That indeed does help haha!
AM5 board can take up to 2-3 minutes sometimes on the first boot. I am so very happy for you. Nice fix! Make this your new PC.
Geniale Arbeit. Bin immer wieder Sprachlos, es ist als würde ich einem Magier bei seiner Zauberei zusehen. 😃🙃

I think it was a vender refusal in this case.
It is illegal in some countries like the US to refuse warranty for unrelated issues.
Great repair video!🤩
Hello🤝good job gratulation 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋
You should put a vacuum cleaner nozzle next to the MOSFET when you grind so it keeps it dust free so you can see precisely, ie, less chance of over-grinding with clear vision.
That can create a static charge.
Holy moly my white balance is off in the second part off the video, how did no one inform me yet off that haha
Excellent job! Those drivers are really hard to remove without a preheater, especially when they fuse with the board :)
Good job ❤
Congratulations! Better late than never.
Good Job and Thank you !
great job
Tilt your board on a slant and use distilled water to wash away debris as you dremel so you don't grind into the board to far. Flush generously with isopropyl 90% and blow dry the board.
Medic goes into dentistry ! -- nice ! Those low end CPU,s are only 65 W should not be an issue.

Remove the INDUCTOR from the board and apply formal coating over all the exposed contacts and forget about it.
Fantastic job. congratulations. Greetings from Brazil. 🙂
A very good fix there.
I think grinding off is always best instead of heating the board too much since almost always the mosfet is welded

Hit me up on my email and we can discuss that!

Oh right i will need to change that! Thank you!
you need to inject voltage and use infrared camera or isopropil alchool.
teah 8 months later we have first am5 videoooo
I believe it's not PCIE slot issues, it just sometimes the newer board can't support older graphics card, some cards not support uefi bios
I wonder if NorthWest Repair could have taken the mofet off without using a heat blower?
he can
Congrats
how come asus refused warranty on this anyway?
Great Video! Can you also show us how we could use this grinding tool for stripped screw on the mainboard? For example M2 screw on M.2 nvme drive?
Should try take off the mosfet next to it before using the dremel. You will have a visual reference and you avoid heating it excessively.

Getting a preheater is very helpful in these cases! Even if the preheater only goes to 100 degrees it makes a big differece!
Asus P5K3 Deluxe only sees HDD's, not a single one SSD. Why?
like the fnirsi dc power supply and im wondering is it any good? would like to buy one but still thinking about it. tnx
Sadly the 5A power limit is just to low. Otherwise its great but for Motherboard repair you need at least 10A!
Even after the whole Gamers nexus exposure, they still doing anti-consumer ways. This wouldn't happen in Europe with anti-consumer laws
Supa gut!
excellent work, but not easy, not for the weak heart. ..
All my usb ports died 3 months into use, Asus denied the RMA so i got a new board from another vendor, half the price
We can tell how long it’s been by how beat up that crucial P3 box is 😂
It has been trashed at this point haha
u can fix that drmos. its not that problem, so the board would be like new ;)
JUST F ASUS ! And buy an ASRock motherboard !
Great repair, Pretty bad that Asus refused warranty on this as its clearly a failure on the hardware itself and not the marks on the board, Just shows you that they do not inspect the boards properly or make any sort of logical decisions with these RMAs...with that said, I had a fantastic RMA experience with Gigabyte.
asus loves denying warranty over some minor cosmetic crap
when I saw your video I immediately thought: he's german, boom i was right(?)
Yes you are right!
Not so TUF in either quality nor in the warranty, nice L Asus.
Imagine taking your car back to a dealership for an engine fault but they refuse because you have some key scratches on the door... I wont be buying Asus anymore.
i have to say that ausu tuf motherboards are a scam! how so? well they made the board weak!
i dont know what happent to asus brand they become stupid and cheap , chep i mean thye not liio to good components any amore i have hare 1555 p8 h67 modo and still working o.0 and old p3 mobo
Typical ASUs there then….
Just stop buying Asus, simple fact. Unless you want dramas with RMA with Asus.
imagine you bought a 200£ cpu and it died instantly as you powered it up
That would have been hilarious!

That sounds like internal layer damage, which would mean a dead end for it! Hit me up on my email and sent me some pictures!
