I've checked the asus website and they have 5 branches
of manufacture facilities in North America (Asus Computer International)
Main HQ, ASUSTek Computer Inc. (Asia/Pacific), ASUS COMPUTER GmbH
(Germany/Austria), ASUS Holland B.V. (Netherlands), and
ASUS COMPUTER (China).
I suspect that these defective counterfeit boards may be comming from
either ASUSTek Computer Inc. (Asia/Pacific) or ASUS COMPUTER (China).
Since the article mentions that ASUS sent the board back to a RD team in
Taiwan it might have came from ASUS COMPUTER (China) which covers the
entire pacific rim.
As for the factory closing and changing their name doesn't release them
from any liabilities or damages caused by said defective/counterfeit
product for it will only worsen the possibility that more of these pirated
boards may show up. I think that this is more of a case of hardware piracy
since its more heavily prevalant in the Asia/pacific rim more that anywhere
else.
I've been using Asus mobos for may years and haven't encountered a
problem since then especially with my 4 year old Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo
which has been running with any incident thus far. ;)

Hi Guys,
I hate to say it again ! Asus has being having quality control problems
for a long time ! Short of closing the problem factory, they changed
the name and started production elswhere, hence ASRock !
Purely conjecture, but I wonder where all the counterfeit ASUS
mainboards came/come from ??
