I have a gigabyte mobo, did I fuck up?

>>105804204 (OP)
Asus is the only wrong choice.

>>105804204 (OP)
I love this pic of nano, she so silly
>captcha: KYKKKG

>>105804221
But I like their ProArt motherboards though.

>>105804221
Sorry, Asrock that was a typo

I've literally never had a bad mobo experience before and I've assembled like 10 PCs by now.

>>105804204 (OP)
did you?
wth is this meme?
i used a gb-based pc as a medieval flail once and all i needed was just to reboot (it was an """ultra durable""" series if that matters. i think it does)
did i miss something?

>>105804204 (OP)
Dunno.
My Gigabyte motherboards have all been fine. I have had an Asus one or two that have been fine.
And by fine I mean zero fucking problems. Not living with a few oddities like it is normal.

>>105804462
(not op)
werd, init?
there is a meme supposedly that gigabyte is bad
but thats not consistent with my experience either
there must be something to it we dont know
at least one fuckup or something

>>105804462
>>105804482
cont.
chud gpt said their gpus suck
their other products are a mixed bag
and they had a backdoor or something in 2023
that would 100% justify the hate
wtf are they thinking? they always used to be a solid company

>>105804204 (OP)
if it works and you paid less for the same features the other manufactures provide, its alright.

>>105804510
>chud gpt said their gpus suck
I've only had one Gigabyte GPU and it was fine.
Better than the two XFX GPUs that fucking died.

>>105804529
yeah but thats a sample size of one
i also had gigabyte hw, i used their mobos until my most recent install where i went with the cheapest POS i could get my hands on
like i said
i swung a fucking computer over my head and tried to smash it on the ground, to no avail
i bent the chassis, but all the computer needed was a reboot and everything went like nothing hapenned
fukken same gear worked for another 8 years
i didnt realize it but im something of a fanboi
im really disappointed by what i heard abt my fav company

>>105804204 (OP)
So do i, it works fine. My only regret is that i didn't get a motherboard with heatsink on the vrms. I had no idea those mosfet could get this toasty.

>>105804360
I recently had a 10 year old mobo fail, the power supply stopped outputting adequate voltage a few months before after a year or so of the computer failing to post if it'd been unplugged or sat off so that could be related but either way I've been building computers since 2002 and it's the first time I've ever had a major component fail, component brand loyalty besides gpu and cpu is just sportsball bullshit. Those two categories have real competition so there's something to argue about, the rest is just /g/tard shit

that computer had also run in a ~90F room for a while and had thermal cutoff beyond countless times even before that because the main heatsink was fucked and I didn't replace it until it was completely unusable

>>105804204 (OP)
No, if you wanted to fuck up you would have bought an MSI motherboard.

>>105804551
>yeah but thats a sample size of one
Yeah, I know.
But people make out like its a very high percentage of failures.

>tfw fell for the 16 Gigabyte motherboard meme

>>105804204 (OP)
i have 40$ biostar mobo

>>105804221
this. get literally anything else.

>>105804357
false-flag asus slander

>>105804351
>But I like their ProArt motherboards though.
I got one of those on my new build, they got windows only hardware like MediaTek MT7927, so now I don't have wifi or bluetooth :/ I don't care about the wifi but bluetooth can be handy

All mobo brands are shit nowadays, that's why I just buy MSI since they're at least cheap.

>>105804204 (OP)
atleast its not msi

>>105804204 (OP)
why do you even need storage in the motherboard in the first place

>>105804221
It's fucking incredible to watch Asus decline into the garbage bin. They used to be at or at least near the top, well liked and often bought. Then they started having huge problem after problem, seemingly without stop. What a dog shit company.

>>105804221
>>105808538
The hell happend? I had an asus mobo since 2015 until this year when I switched to amd socket. Worked fine but it was my first pc so I don't really have a good reference to other mobos.

>>105804204 (OP)
I have had 2 ASRock boards die and 1 SuperMicro board diem Admittedly they were all 5+ years old at the time of death but still. All my other brands still going strong even a 15 year old Asus.
Probably just luck of the draw but who knows.

memebr goodly featured motherboards? i member

>>105804357
Asrock the most terrible brand. I've had 2 of them before and they both had a bios stuck problem.

>>105808297
That's one good thing about MSi stuff but they literally got no support and they basically tell customers to F off if they need warranty.

>>105808624
atx asscock boards suck, they don't have many pcb layers, their itx on the other hand are really fine

This. If you are looking for reliability and durability there's nowhere to run, maybe enterprise-tier and server motherboards, otherwise MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, AsRock, they are all trash. The Taiwanese jews have become too greedy and skimping so much in quality and durability since the start of this decade, that no-name chink brand motherboards are becoming more tempting. At least the chink mobos are pretty cheap, and if you have any problems just throw it in the trash and order a new one.
I only wish the chinks would start making more premium motherboards with higher end features, VRMs and chipsets for higher end CPUs.
It's a fucking shame. Most Gigabyte, MSI and Asus mobos from the 2000s and early 2010s will last forever if you take good care of them. Have a few from that era still chugging along fine

This all sounds hypocritical af coming from me though, since I have just purchased an used Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero from AliExpress (from a reputable vendor specialized in selling used mobos), to replace my dead Gigabyte Z490 Vision G. How fucked am I?

>>105804204 (OP)
I had a gigabyte motherboard with my FX8350 and it failed and recently my Gigabyte Z690UD DDR4 died. I won't buy another one thats 2 that have failed on me. I have a chinese no name xeon board running my server and its been on for over 10 years with 0 issues. I might have just got super unlucky but thats it for me and Gigabyte

>>105804568
Down Draft Cooler + good case ventilation will solve your problems.

>>105804204 (OP)
i just buy used workstations and used quadro/pro cards. until somebody makes a good porn game that i can't play on a $400 setup i won't spend more than $400 on a setup.

I got a gigabyte mobo I never had any problem

why won't elitegroup or supermicro make consumer boards?

>spend some money on getting laid (dating) instead of fucking porn
lol no. no woman can make me laugh half as hard as i can make myself laugh. no woman can make me think twice as hard as i can make myself think. and no woman can make me cum half as hard as i can make myself cum. women are worthless unless you want kids, which i don't.

>>105811054
I placed a fan right on top of them as a temporary solution for now. Works fine during normal use and gaming.
The motherboard has screw holes by the vrms so i was planning get a cheap aluminum heatsink from aliexpress and modify it to fit the motherboard.

>>105804204 (OP)
No. All of them such in one way or another. Forget about brand shaming, it's meaningless. One gigabyte model could be superior to all other mobos in one year. What would be a wrong choice is picking a Chinese board. Those suck and are always the wrong choice.

>>105808624
So they're rock, it's as rock. You can't do shit with it anymore but you can pretend it's a rock. Use the rock as a paperweight.

ASSCOCK

>>105804204 (OP)
maybe
Every single one i had was wonky in some way but at the same time it can take a beating, never seen a dead gigabyte in my life, even the one with a 12V socket that looked burnt.
They will however do shit like glitch out on the hardware level and refuse to boot unless unplugged for a few seconds. One wouldn't POST the first time out of the box until I plugged a speaker into the relevant pins to check. Current one has weird thermal issues requiring me to undervolt heavily or it'll lock up until a CMOS clear on a hot day.
As others said, everything made after 2015 is trash regardless of brand. We need another capacitor plague tier incident to whip the industry into shape again, that's what gave us the godtier 2010 round of mobos.

>>105816449
and just as a bonus, a gigabyte GPU card I had once had the exact same issue where I had to let it sit on a shelf for a couple weeks for it to unglitch and actually boot

>>105816318
If it makes you feel any better, it's not like you had a better option. Like me and other anons ITT are saying, all of them are shit.
