ASUS Recalls ROG Maximus Z690 Hero Motherboards Due to Fire and Burn Hazard

https://www.techpowerup.com/297942/asus-recalls-rog-maximus-z690-hero-motherboards-due-to-fire-and-burn-hazard

Personally these budget cards need to go lower. Imo 6700XT should be $300 and 3060 should be $200 but I doubt they will go that low.
