i cant even give this a 0/10 anon please try harder next time.

wow 1 guy reported he fucked his install 3 times on the same board? recall everything

there are 0 good pc parts for sale

>>725496345 (OP)
Nah it's just ASRock. I had a Z790 board from them fry one of the resistors/capacitors (literally went up in smoke) and die.

>>725496345 (OP)
>Assrock

I once got a Assrock board. Never again.

>>725496345 (OP)
It's hilarious there are no good mobo manufacturers. Every single one has major reasons to avoid them.

I was looking up a new mobo for my next build and all I keep seeing is Asrock motherboards killing different CPUs

>>725496345 (OP)
Anyone who still buys Mobo from this company derserves it at this point. No amount of bios updates is gonna fix the issue.

>>725497717
None of them are straight up killing CPUs like Assrock.

>>725497717
if you remove asrock and asus you're left with what, gigabyte MSI and EVGA?

>>725497717
>>725497854
>>725498398

Time to build your own motherboard. Its easy

>>725497717
MSI's been fine for me

>>725496345 (OP)
CONSOLE GAMING IS A SCAM
>buy console
>controllers drift by default

>>725497854
this. i have audio crackling on my msi board due to their shitty alc4080 audio chip obsession, but otherwise i like it.

killing cpus is a pretty big downside in comparison.

>>725496345 (OP)
damn
so how much $ is that now?
>>725496764
lmao this

>>725498398
EVGA is deader than dead. Their last mobo is Z790 and its last bios update is like two years ago

>725497717
B850 Gigabyte works good for me.

>he bought the cheapest asrock board instead of spending $20-30 more for a higher quality brand
you reap what you sow

>>725497717
I've always just grabbed ASUS mobos and haven't had any problems. I've only built a few computers so my experience is limited. The first PC I built I picked ASUS because it just seemed to be well rated and had some features I wanted. Since then I just went ASUS because "thats what I got last time and it worked fine." Not the best reasoning but that's where I'm at and haven't had problems. I don't mess with bios stuff too much but their interfaces and options seemed to be pretty good too so it SEEMS like it has some flexibility too.

>>725496345 (OP)
Don't buy ASRock.
They are cheap for a reason.

I'm never upgrading.

>>725498905
i truly don't know how evga hasn't officially closed up. they have no products left.

>>725499326
Then buy what ???

so did they forget to activate black friday this year? prices are still fucked

Surely nothing like this has ever happened with Intel and Nvidia, right?

>>725497717
Dude who hasn't bothered changing since early AM4. What the FUCK happened?

>>725499372
Literally any other brand?

>>725497735
>A reddit user claims
Slow news day huh?

>>725496345 (OP)
asrock moment
only their server stuff is any good

>>725499421
Black Friday died years ago

lel

>>725499421
Blame AIkikes for that

>>725499301
"thats what I got last time and it worked fine."
That is the best reasoning, given a company wants to keep your business by improving their products.

>>725499502
Everything sucks especially Gigabyte

I boughted a Dell i3 12100/8GB/512GB for $180
I boughted a 500 watt Dell power supply for $60
I boughted an 8GB DDR4 stick for $15
I boughted an RX6600 for $150

I don't understand what I did wrong? I'm playing new games and they're cool and pretty but apparently I messed up because I only spent $405.

>buy shit brand like asrock
>suffer
lol
get fucked fag

>>725499852
>boughted

It's "bought" you stupid fuck.
Ever heard of irregular verbs you brown retard?

>>725500078
Seetheded

>>725499767
What's wrong with it? My B850 is fine after using it for five months, granted that it's my first Gigabyte Mobo.

>>725500078
Why everyone is suddenly an english teacher in 4chan ?? Even as natives myself i got a D on english class.

>>725500078
The funny thing is his pic has a similar verb used correctly, and he didn't even notice.

>>725499852
>boughted
It's spelled buyed moron

>>725500178
I've got a Gigabyte z390 ive been using for over 10 years and it's still working just fine. It's not flashy and the BIOS is basic but it "just works"

>>725497717
Gigabyte has always worked fine for me.
Maybe their higher-end mobos are good which is what i buy, and their lower-end ones are junk

>>725499421
black friday is after thanksgiving

Oh thats why youre so anal about grammar

>>725499372
Every company has their own defective product. It's all about the matter of luck. Just RMA it if you got one.

>>725500210
>why everyone is
>as natives
Doubt.

AMD a shit. I switched from intel 12th gen to a 9800x3d and ive been having issues with compiling shaders. Shit always slows my pc down to a crawl and i dont fucking know why. Intel didn't have this issue

>>725500768
there's a difference between being lazy about punctuation, and getting basic sentence structure wrong, which even the most 2 digit IQ hillbilly wouldn't do.
stop LARPing as an EFL you dumb spic/pajeet.

>>725500891
maybe the game utilizes the 8 cores effectively to do the task?

>>725500210
>suddenly
It used to be much more heavily enforced, newfag

>>725501025
not specific to that game. happens to any game that does compiling at first start

>>725496345 (OP)
>assrock
They always have been the shit budget option for gambling with issues like the old gigabyte boards in 2010s

>>725500998
I dont care about grammar on shitposting website in the almost midonight. Cope and Seehthe

>>725501137
could be the intel cpu allocates estrogen cores for less intensive tasks like using chrome while p cores do the compiling

amd has no estrogen cores

>>725500768
Aren't native English speakers ashamed, when they cannot even speak their own language correctly?

>>725500210
it doesnt matter; irregardlessly you understanded what he had meant

>>725501198
you're incapable of typing out an EFL-tier sentence

My asrock x670 Pro hasn't killed my 9800X3D yet, I'm glad I decided I didn't need to waste money on an x870 taichi when I was building this system. I've seemingly dodged this issue.

>>725496345 (OP)
I always bought cheap-ish Gigabyte mobos because I never bought into CPU and memory hype and they all work fine with midrange components. Even my A320 board from like 2017 that I now use on a second PC still works fine to this day.

>>725500891
A higher core count CPU might be better at multitasking while doing something intensive like shader compilation. I don't personally notice this issue on my system, but I'm also not really doing anything during shader comps beyond watching a video on my other monitor.

>>725501274
stoyay modooooo lol. Its bindendional :)

>>725501410
>called out and now pretending to be retarded
classic

>>725501336
I've actually never had any Mobos fail on me despite every single motherboard brand having <4 stars reviews of people swearing that the board is defective and every brands forums being flooded with posts about how awful the board is. The reality is when people have an issue they're going to post about it, more so than the other way around. I'm not saying people should mindless consume, but I stopped worrying about which board might be the most reliable and just pick the one with the features I need and just send it.

>>725501465
Thanks for the (You), dumbass

>tfw vindicated in all of your part-picking
>...except for your GPU

>>725496345 (OP)

You dont need 9700X3d and 9800X3d.
Even for AI stuff

>>725497717
I've used gigabyte and MSI for every build in the last 17 years and never had issues except my bios being in Spanish despite being set to English on my current one.

>>725496345 (OP)
Since when ASROCK become shit ? I own their Mobos since 2005

>>725499421
That's just the prices in Donnie's America. Get used to it.

once am5 came around

>>725496345 (OP)
I had good experience last time I bought AssRock, but it was 13 years ago.
I still have the 2500k and that board somewhere.

>>725499421
someone figured out you can do matrix multiplication on a GPU, and that you can do a bunch of that multiplication to make a program write coherent sentences using statistics.
this means that anything with a chip in it will never be cheap again.

>>725501972
>lol kevin was always based

>>725499301
My ASUS experience going to AMD was fucked. It came with broken network drivers and some weird hard drive issues so I had to go through a lot of bullshit to get it all working.

you know taking things literally all the time is a sign of autism.

>>725502345
most of the complaints around asus is that besides being overpriced, if you have any issues their customer support is absolute ass

>>725503117
literally?

>>725499367
Once they run out of power supplies I'm sure they will close up once and for all.

>>725503145
I haven't had to deal with it yet, I got it all working fine on my own. Everything Asus I have has otherwise been great, though.

>>725503428
what even happened? they were the most beloved company in the space and they just decided to slowly die? why?
they could have charged 30% above everyone else and people still would have happily paid.

>>725503546
They got fed up with the gaynigger ass corpo environment of enshittification. The goyvidia 40xx being final nail in the coffin causing
EVGA to go "yeah fuck this we're done"
