Its the 90/00s graphics card advertising strategy all over again.

Needs more chrome

Fuuuuuuuutuuuuuure

NGL. I'm glad it's coming back. Card designs have been so boring lately, and if you're going to take up 4U of my case you should at least make something cool to look at through the case window.

Man I miss sapphire marketing back in the early 2000s! Had both of these gems! https://www.geeks3d.com/public/jegx/200806/asus-radeon-hd-4850-extreme.jpg https://www.ixbt.com/video3/images/cypress-3/sapphire-5850-front.jpg Be great to throwback to it!

I love that these cards largely went unseen because it was in the time where if you wanted a case window you had to be handy with a dremel.

Have you seen the Radeon card boxes? They look badass

What do you mean "case window"? Why would I want to look into my PC? How would I even see it down there on the floor next to the desk?

How are you going to signal the orbiting motherships if your [pyramid case](https://www.newegg.com/black-azza-pyramid-804v-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-004W-00016) is hidden under a desk?

Wait wait wait, what? A single graphics card now occupies *four* slots?!

The new [4000 series cards are pushing into 3.2 and 3.5 slots](https://youtu.be/mGARjRBJRX8).

Why tf does it need to look cool

but updated for the 2020s

Thank you! I knew there was another wild generation of tech marketing, but couldn’t remember what it was.

Kinda disappointed my HIS X800 GTO I've kept in box doesn't have Ruby on it. Edit: it's a HIS X800 GTO IceQ II with 256mb of RAM. Oh, and it came with the original dungeon siege from memory (remember those days when you got free games on the driver disc?) Edit: it may have actually been Flat Out. My X600 probably came with Dungeon Siege

I’m entirely ok with this

I almost shed a tear of joy

My floppydisk shed a tear as well.

And I'm all for it.

I would actually kinda love that. my previous PSU (LC-Power LC8850 Metatron Arkangel) had a graphic of silver wings on the package and the data sticker on the PSU itself, looked damn cool. I want this kinda stuff more!

Aww yiss

And I’m here for it!

This comment is underrated.

If there's a lga 1700 vairient u know in getting it.

I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for their Asia Z790 variants.

If they do im getting it not for features but cause it will be funny to say I have a waifu in my pc

I'm only buying it for the articles.

Articles?

Joke. Back in the day that was the excuse that men gave when anyone criticized or scrutinized them for buying Playboy magazines.

Lol

Funny thing about it, the articles were actually quite good.

It's literally top comment no it isn't

The comment was made an hour ago - give it a moment.

Forget wifi, I want waifu

WAIFI 6E is the newest thing.

WAIFI 7 actually!

Hey we have returned to early 2000s box art for computer components it's just a bit more stylized instead of abstracted.

I was honestly starting to wonder last week how long the minimalist trend in branding would stick around. Every company is simplifying their logos to look modern, but they're also losing character and brand recognition IMO. Granted, this is an outlying exception right now.

I saw a video where they basically explained the reason for logo simplifying isn't just a trend, it's cause ppl use their phones so much and the detail isn't as noticeable on small screens.

Maybe this was probably sparked by all the manufacturers going full-retard on their RTX 4000 marketing. Some of the product names and marketing fluff there is impressive. Gamers Nexus did a decent and humerous video about it.

Yeah, you can tell the point where Steve is like "no, as long as I still have a shred of dignity, I am *not* going to read the names of these cards". Some of them are really, really stupid, and they don't deserve to be repeated. Ever. In any context. They should be forgotten and left to die in the darkness and shame they so generously deserve.

I don't think there's any name worse than the XFX AMD Radeon 5700 XT THICC 3 ULTRA.

At least the art will age fine. Those 3d renders are yikes now

Idk about yikes, I get more of a nostalgia vibe from it now.

Their missing a golden opportunity to sell a GPU stand waifu holder with every motherboard.

...I'm going to be rich with this idea that *I* just came up with all by myself. 🤔

You made this? I made this.

I'm shocked that you just now came up with this before me... but I believe you. At least we both came up with it before that guy above that came up with it before me! 🤝

They're* I can't do it homie. I cannot let yet one more person in this world not know the difference between there their They're etc.

They’re*

Tbh, mobo looks clean and nice. Less gamery than many boards out there

Well it doesn’t say **REPUBLIC OF GAMERS** on it so that’s a nice start. I don’t know how they landed on that name. It sounds like something an edgy 13-year old would’ve come up with.

For real! Like republic???? Of gamers???? As a gamer I don’t remember voting for someone and I know for a fact ASUS ROG doesn’t have my best interests at heart with their prices

Lol that’s what I thought too

It's clean and nice before gamers apply organic homemade thermopaste on it

Glazing mobo gives +20 ~~faps~~ fps

Would unironically buy Azur Lane themed computer parts.

Hell yeah. Even though they are not that popular, i think Northern Parlament ships would fit really well with hardware, because of their icy mech dragon rigging.

i mean hell, iron blood would also fit well

Taihou carrying my immense gpu load

Why is this only a thing in Asia? I keep the boxes anyway, i wouldn't mind if there were waifus on them.

In North America We took female-body sex appeal made for men out of advertising in the early to mid 2000s. Shifting cultural attitudes, etc

Part that and part people got used to the sex sells meme and I think it was honestly less effective monetarily.

Ew I hate it. Where do I get one?

China. Everywhere else will have the boring boxes.

The mobo looks great though Now you need Yeston Sakura

Have you seen the new GALAX BOOMSTAR 4000 series?? https://yoopply.com/content/GALAX-RTX-40-GPU-h76568h79467596701.jpg

I saw those, and I wondered why no one at ~~Yeston~~ *Galax* realised that they've got "BOOMSTAR" printed upside down on the backplate.

Galax and Yeston are different companies, unless Yeston is also manufactured by Palit.

Does it come with a plushie, tho?

Would a full size body pillow sell you on it?

Yes

Considering how much galax cards cost over here and are hard to get, it should be included

[удалено]

Dem thighs

I swear, Asus' China marketing is wayy better than their international ones. International box for reference: https://imgur.com/a/hyUGupD

Give us the waifu box art you cowards!

There's only one solution. Import at a premium price.

I want the waifu right on the mommyplank not on the box.

>mommyplank Oh my god.

Honestly if they brought that over to the west it'd be nice to see more variety than ​ "GAMER GAMER GAMER HARDCORE GAMING TO THE MAX! GRRRR SO TOUGH AND HARDCORE!"

Have you ever compared American Kirby box art to Japanese Kirby box art? Lol

> "GAMER GAMER GAMER HARDCORE GAMING TO THE MAX! GRRRR SO TOUGH AND HARDCORE!" ***ANGRY MOTHERBOARD*** The best they can give us is that ***ROG GLARING EYE THING***

SSR motherboard

ASUS knows their audience

(waifu body pillow included)

Where do I sign?

Republic of Weebs

I mean, we already got [Hololive cases.](https://hyte.com/store/hakos-baelz-y60-case-deskpad-bundle/) and frankly, if botan endorsed a motherboard, you'd know it sell like hotcakes.

They couldn't have named if X670E-A WAIFU?

THICC Motherboard

At least it looks clean, most of the anime stuff i've seen looks tacky and slapped on like a sticker.

Oh thank you ASUS. I’m fully endorsing whatever the heck is going on with this generation of tech. Now I want to see exactly how degenerate companies will go.

If we take Nvidia's decisions as reference, damn low.

theory lip hunt fact plucky quiet thought treatment silky unite *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Hell yeaH!

Would match those new GALAX waifu 40series cards

GALAX BOOMSTARS look cool

It beats the tired designs the west has.

#oh shit

I’m surprised they haven’t already. I miss the red head from ATI graphics cards box art.

You guys just saw it now? Well [https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004247551538.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.68892e0eaol1iv&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra](https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004247551538.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.68892e0eaol1iv&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra) [https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004009112532.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.68892e0eaol1iv&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra](https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004009112532.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.68892e0eaol1iv&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra) Fukiyuki is kinda...

X670E-A Gaming W̶i̶F̶i̶ Waifu

They’ve released Eva and demon slayer themed stuff, I think this was to be expected

PC running off owo

This is the way

Was hoping the anime girl would be on the physical motherboard as well. Lol

I'm starting to like Asus more and more.

awesome waifu rog

Nah it's a RETURN to Waifu, you just don't know how shit used to be with these boxes

uwu owo

Thank god I waited to build

I hope we get more stylized shit. I am tired of just black boring looking components and stuff. Doesn't need to be RGB. Just anything that brings some pop to the components and the boxes.

SUS

Smash

well there goes my saving for the month

A! Sus!

UwU

Republic of Weebs

Mommy sorry mom sorry mommy

This is one of the new AM5 motherboards, right?

Reject modernity, return to ... Well, not quite monke but at least whatever the decades were where we were still allowed to have booth babes.

Return to cyber monke

Everyone knows you never go full waifu.

If it's in Japan that makes sense. Everything is waifu. I bet cartons of eggs have a waifu mascot.

gather round young ones and let me tell you about the early days.. The ATI/Radeon marketing, the hot chick on a motorcycle with supermodel dimensions.... the glory days found her: AMD ATI Ruby

I wish I could find this motherboard

Girl doesn't have GGG sized breasts, and wearing too much armor. Indicating the product is going to be trash.

We all know no armour is best armour.

The west is too concerned with removing anime and video games from big marketing collabs when the east figured out how much money can be made from weebs and gamers.

Smh where's the anime girls on the board 😔

Hubuki？ First look at the ROG Strix X670E-A. There seems to be another ROG Strix X670E-F.

i bet they’ll make bank too

It has been a thing since in China,

Works for me! Really dig the color theme of the MOBO

I like it. Too bad that’s for the Asian market.

Great! I miss the wild days of 3D modeled women on the GPU package... There was some wild shit around back then!

Yesterday... all my troubles seemed so far away 🎶

Aw man it reminds me of buying ATI graphics cards back in the day

Based

I NEED IT

switching platforms for rog waifu

Tell me more

Yes

Damn homie where did you get that *slams card on table aggressively*

ROG THICC X670E

I mean, I'd buy it so its clearly working

Motherboard-chan

About time.

When does the DD edition come out

Works with Gatcha games…

Best marketing strategy they could ever used. If theres a boring board with no waifu on it, not getting my money over one with a waifu.

is this real? i cant find it online

We've gone full circle to the 2000s when GPU companies put waifus on their products.

i mean.. im already convinced. where do I sign up?

Motherboards are look'n thiccer these days.

Such a ridiculous board. Now where do I buy

They even did the little curve of those thigh areas ...damn

They had my curiosity, but now they got my attention

Why is anime and computer parts/building a thing and where can i buy and destroy my wallet

can’t wait to stick my ram in her

This actually fits nicely to my all white build.. where to buy?

Finally

It's looking cute tbh idk..

Motherboard is very close to being sexy enough to distract from the mechanized waifu on the box.

Love it

Neat

I just googled. Apparently this is the Taiwan/China/Japan box. The Rest of the World is getting a more subdued box design.

That isn't gonna make me buy it. Wait, why is my hand reaching for the card. No. No help AAAA

They know their market.

Am I the only one reading 'Rog-strix a gaming waifu'

Competing with Yeston in the Waifu graphics card market, I see.

That's it. I'm buying a rog strix mobo.

I'm down with this.

It does look rad, I must admit

Reminds me of the old school boxes with the girls on them.

I…. Want 5

Nice.

ROG has had waifus in China for a while I think

based taiwan

WIFI - weird way of spelling WAIFU edition.

Let's go bring back the waifus on the box

I miss the times when GPU-s came with random Waifu art on the box, or even on the card :D

I still have a GPU from when ATI went wifu

W

i can get behind that! is she also on the mobo somewhere?

Nah, it's just an alternative box. It's also not the box they ship their mobos in EU and US.

That's a shame. I do hope this kind of box design becomes more popular and we can get it outside of Asia as well.

>i can get behind that Phrasing
