Good hardware brands (feddit.de)

I have been asking myself lately which brands still are reputable in the pc hardware sector. Asus has been frying AM5 CPUs, Gigabyte GPUs (RTX 3000 Series) are cracking... Various brands refuse to acknowledge warranty claims. What are the brands that are left / and are reputable after companies like EVGA have left the segment?

I have also built pcs with Gigabyte 3000 series GPUs for friends. I have secured them properly from GPU sag. I have my fingers crossed... But it does leave a certain unwellness behind. I myself have used a Palit RTX 2080ti for some time now, which runs perfectly fine, but there were VRAM problems with some model as well. As many things in hardware, almost nothing is without its faults, I guess :)
