ASRock Z490 Intel Extended Motherboard Review

I bought the z490 aqua about 6 months ago. About 2 weeks ago I started noticing hairline cracks due to acrylic and it gradually got worse until the next day. I submitted a return authorization to asrock and they immediately told me it was user error and they would not help me. If it was user error, cracks would occur much faster due to too much pressure from over-tightening. The monoblock on this mobo is CRAFTS and instead of honoring their warranty they pretty much told me to kick rocks. jokes

Buy a total of 3 ASROCK AQUA Boards. One of them developed a very slow water leak within a week. It took some time to find the problem as the leak was very slow. It turned out that the mainboard's water block was leaking very slowly. I have documented the issue and asked for warranty support, but ASROCK will not fix the issue. They claim they don't cover mechanical issues. What good is a guarantee that doesn't cover the entire product! I have reported to the BB and am now in the small claims…
