Retailer reviewIndexed Oct 5, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — Amazon review

Amazon.com 4-star review by Chad & Bubs (title: "First one I received was a dud, wasted hours troubleshooting before RMA'ing."; Verified Purchase; Style: B650M AORUS ELITE AX). First board would not boot to USB for OS install (infinite boot) and Q-Flash/Q-Flash Plus did not fix it. Amazon overnight replacement worked.

Retailer reviewIndexed Oct 5, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — Amazon review

Amazon.com 1-star review by taylorzr (title: "Unreliable"; Verified Purchase; Style: B650M AORUS ELITE AX). Would not wake from sleep (hard power cycle required), ~1 minute boot times, BIOS update reported success but did not apply. Replacing the board fixed issues. Tech support unhelpful for a month then RMA portal rejected the serial as invalid.
