I really need your opinion on this(mother and gpu brands)
I want the most durable long lasting mother board and graphics card brand. One that can withstand dust, heat, humidity, rust and not so clean power. Which brand items you had lasted longer guys?
I am not asking for opinions on the specs or performance side but a general view on which brand makes the most durable units in general. Not the premium tiers ( strix and other brands' equivalents)but the entry tiers (tuf series and equivalent s) on all makers.

most are good

just look for a better cooler on higher tdp gpus

blowers = avoid, unless in a small htpc where hot air needs to be exhausted through the expansion slot
fanless, under 50w
1 fan, upto 50-100w
2 fans, 100-125w
3 fans, 125+w

strix = asus, tuf = msi, makes no difference really its the brands series for hardware tiers
rust? what you need a motherboard that tough for?
Must game in the bayou...

I mean if you're living in such harsh conditions you're gonna have to accept there's going to be some risk of failures and whatnot that no consumer brands are accounting for...

Furthermore your question is really demanding a statistical answer and that's not something most users can provide out of their own personal usage. Especially in the fairly specific criteria you've listed. So any decent response attempting to answer your question would need to link to some hard data, which if it's out there you can find it yourself, you shouldn't need us to google it for you. And if it's not, your question may have some issues, like just being too niche to get a reasonable answer.

So if you're happy with random guesses and single experience opinions, that's fine and what you're largely gonna get, but it doesn't really sound like what you're asking for IMO.

Ralf back to trolling. Lmao
I would check out the Asus TUF series of mobo's. and i would get water cooling if u have humidity issues...keeping a de-humidifier in that room would probably be a good idea too

I've been using Asrock motherboards for about 5 years - first an H97 board, then a B450 board (both Pro4 models). Very satisfied with both.

Don't really have a choice for gpus. Used to use Asus for years, but their QC was never super and in many cases is just bad these days.

Inno3D and EVGA for green cards, Sapphire for red cards.
Get the best cooling on it u can and plasti dip it, that will protect from rust, i often plast dip my custom watercool builds as were there to be a leak it would be protected as well as the cosmetic aspect , durability theres not much difference in brands, but get the highest quality u can afford and it will likely be durable
