ASUS DIYPC site and community

[Qqmike]

Just noticed this today (feed from my gmail 'promotions' tab)

ASUS is continuing its DIY focus. I've used them since 2007 for my home builds -- mobos & other components.
They are injecting some energy into their DIYPC Community.
I joined (with only my email and some information about interests etc.)
Just trying to stay up to date and informed about DIY resources.

Maybe someone here at KFN would be interested.

Let's see here ...
The DIYPC website section is this:
https://www.asus.com/us/site/pcdiy/

I think/hope if you click the Community tab at the top, it may offer you a chance to join.

(If I try it, with my cookies undeleted, even from my original email promo, it tells me "you are already a member, return to the DIYPC website ...")

Maybe try that first to see.

Note:
Now AI tells me to go to the ASUS website,
https://www.asus.com/us/site/ASUS-Member/
and click the Register now button --
which makes you join ASUS, but does it specifically cover the community membership? I don't know.

Note:
Just found this, too,

I've had good experiences with Asus products. I still have a couple old mobos laying around here I think. My current build is an MSi board mostly because it came with waterblocks built-in and 4x NVME slots. Generally, my MSi experience is somewhat worse than Asus and on-par with Gigabyte. My server runs on a Gigabyte ITX board.

I was attracted to ASUS for motherboards for two reasons.

1 They have always had excellent DIY resources, including videos, and I've actually called to talk to a tech and got great no-BS help with my Linux builds.

2 I use just a basic "mainstream" setup here, have built several since 2007. Intel.
I really like how ASUS has implemented the UEFI standards in their firmware (American Megatrends).
It helped me get started with UEFI. Very user-friendly firmware menus. Easy to update "BIOS" with a file on a thumb drive.
