Is it true?
W.HAT?

>Gigabyte
Sure.
Brayden Cook
>gigashit
Why am I not surprised? Their B350 motherboards are by far the worst of the bunch.
Brayden Foster
>Gigabyte
Uh. That's expected.
Kayden Bell
My B350 gayming 3 was DOA too
James Sanchez
gigabyte and asus are a joke
Ayden Williams
Gigabyte's UEFI implementation has always been utter shit. It's years behind all the other board manufacturers' efforts. Even Biostar's is better.
Adrian Morris
>tfw gigabyte mobo was DOA
>replaced with a Carbon Pro
>turned out the problem was the power cable wasn't fully plugged in
I was mad about wasted money but I'm not anymore lmao
Nicholas Adams
also the same thing happened with a MSI board, but the voltage was "just" 1.4v and it was on a beta bios
Samuel Moore
Which board?
Wyatt Lopez

Even leddit probably doesn't believe this garbage "news" portal
Which shithole did you crawl out of? 9gag?

it looks like it affected more than one MSI board
i remember someone complaining about that on some x370 board too

>Gigabyte
They should sell them in Home Depot along with other fire starters.
Jonathan Carter
>buying anything but Asrock
Levi Sanders
Isn't Asrock shit though?
I really don't know what motherboard manufacturer to go for anymore.
Sebastian Kelly
>intel pays motherboard manufacturers to mess up with AMD processors
Interesting how these mobo manufacturers can handle the higher TDP intel processors just fine
Dominic Baker
>BIOS Version 1.3
oh cmon, 1.5 is already there, nobody is updating to that version
Jaxon Cruz
Definitely asrock for amd
If you go intel get asus
Brody Peterson
Why is this? What does Asrock do better? How are the VRMs?
Lucas Torres
This.
Hunter Watson
but it did happen, so it's not like only gigabyte or asus does this shit
Nathan Anderson
>gigabyte
not surprised, you can't even install GNU/Linux on them because of IOMMU/SVIMMO errors all the way back to bulldozer/excavator architecture
fuck them and fuck the word "gaming" in everyones product names
Brody Torres
CPUVID is just incorrectly reported using that version
t. used it and temps were just fine and cpu vcore was also normal
But F5 had some memory issues
Aiden Bailey
Use IOMMU = soft when booting into linux
Should fix the iommu errors
HP laptops also have that problem
Gavin Gray
Nice damage control, gigashit shill
Levi Edwards
How is asus bad though? Their ROG stuff are fine
Daniel Allen
I remember I had to use iommu=pt on my am3 gigabyte board or usb wouldn't work and the onboard realtek nic would stop working from time to time
'luckily' the board itself died after not that long, so that I could change vendor
Aiden Anderson
>not knowing asrock is fucking owned by asus
Gavin Campbell
You clearly have no idea how subdivisons works.
ASUS doesn't write Asrock's firmware, nor vice-versa
Luke Torres
I know that, I'm just saying they are pretty much the same thing.
Point that I'm making. Just get what's affordable with the features you need.
Jayden Robinson
Asus broke from Pegatron. Asrock is under Pegatron. Asus hires ECS to assemble the boards.
Jason Reed
>Asus hires ECS to assemble the boards
Well that certainly explains a great deal.
Aaron Roberts
Gigabyes lead developer is called Bernie Hausdown
Levi Morgan
>Gigabyte
WOW! it's nothing
Lincoln Roberts
>asus a joke
what a cuck user, asus makes good stuff
Hudson Sanchez
Jesus, fucking, Christ, this! I almost went after my brand new build with a hammer because of this. I also had issues with the bios changing settings randomly. I so disappointed because the board itself, was built like a tank, it just ran like a Yugo.
Cooper Cook
>everyone in this thread saying Gigabyte is shit
I thought Gigabyte and Asus were the top 2 manufacturers for consumer motherboards. Has their quality changed this much since I built my last computer several years ago?
Jose Bailey
I think there's probably a lot of Linux users in this thread. Gigabyte had/has a reputation for being Linux unfriendly.
Lucas Diaz
Asus are the only ones that kept their status while Gigabyte is literally the motherboard made for terrorist bombers.
Henry Thompson
Just wanted to say my new build is ASRock, and I'm running gpu passthrough with IOMMU just fine. Did have to patch the kernel to split IOMMU groups though.
Luke Powell
Gigabyte and MSI has generally been shit for years, I'm not even sure if there's any exception in their product line up nowadays.
David Hughes
>somehow it's gigabyte's fault
Why doesn't that happens on Intel side then? You fucking shilling Indian retards
Bentley Perry
>gigabyte mbos
asrock,asus even fucking msi are above
Michael Gutierrez
>gigabyte and asus are a joke
The sad state of being an amdcuck.
Isaiah Peterson
ASrock used to be asus' budget line (which is why they had a bad rep for many years), but now they aren't really realated to Asus at all.
Jason Stewart
AMD ASUS Line was bad.
Still ASUS is bad because literally no warranty.
