Question now is if the formula, extreme etc have similar design flaws.

ASUS has responded incredibly quickly to early reports of issues with their early ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboards. We couldn't ask for a company to respond to issues like this better.

Yeah, well, the prospect of people's PC catching fire and burning the house down with all the reputational damage and class action lawsuits that could ensue, does tend to concentrate corporate minds rather quickly.

Question now is if the formula, extreme etc have similar design flaws.

From the looks of it, someone loaded a machine with a chip belt the wrong way round and ASUS' imaging sensors did not spot the chips being placed incorrectly. In all likelihood, this issue only affects a small number of motherboards.

ASUS will need to re-evaluate its quality control to ensure that they spot these kinds of issues in the future.

Question now is if the formula, extreme etc have similar design flaws.

If they have that specific chip in the same location it's a possibility.
