We can all go to the people of the house. The story of the Asos Qi Release Slim System has finally reached its end, as the company has issued a statement confirming the design changes to reduce the risk of damaging graphics cards.
As reported VideovardsASUS statement states: “Yes, the Q-Rease Slim system has been changed for the new X870 Mother Boards. We have edited the PCIL slot for the Q-Rease Slim system of the user’s feedback.
“The metal component has been removed to reduce the risk of damage to the video card. Additionally, stickers have been added to the system to inform users about the proper use of the system.”
For those of you, it is not an instant catch -up time for you who are not paying attention: the Asus Release Slim system was accused of grinding the Pins to contact the GPU on multiple restorations, which would be a really bad thing. After that the company released A statement to wcftech Saying that his own test, “has not damaged the Mother Board or graphics card that will affect functionality and performance.”
Nevertheless, a revised socket design showed the new product photo of the Asus ROG APEX X870E Mother Board, and ASUS China’s customer support was offered a change of Mother Board for the owners of Mother Boards equipped with PCIE Q-Rease Slam slots.
Oh, and Gigabite released a video of his own PCI slot, which is being used several times without any problem. Possibly innocently, though at that time was suspected to be the least.
However, it seems that Asos has formally cut the bullet and changed the design, even if it has not shown any problem in its own test. Also, who doesn’t love the extra sticker?
I would imagine that, in view of the coverage of this potential problem from many shops, it would probably be a good idea to update this slot even if this problem was not a repetition in its testing facilities. Good PR, and all this, but it seems that we can eventually put this problem on the bed.
Safe, PC gamers sleep. Asus slot troubles seem to end, and we can all be grateful for it.
