If you have "upgraded" to the new 12 gen Intel CPU's with DDR5 and selected the above mentioned motherboard, you have to check if the white line of the capacitor just below the segmented display (top right of mobo) and just above RAM slot 4 is on the RIGHT. If it is on the left --> Power down your PC and RMA the board. It will damage itself in a possible catastrophic way (fire).
Asus has issued a callback and another way to check if your board might be affected. (but even if not in the list, please check the white line!)

The more people who are aware, the better!
