>Gigabyte
Sure.

>gigashit
Why am I not surprised? Their B350 motherboards are by far the worst of the bunch.

>>62228667
>Gigabyte
Uh. That's expected.

My B350 gayming 3 was DOA too

gigabyte and asus are a joke

>>62228667
Gigabyte's UEFI implementation has always been utter shit. It's years behind all the other board manufacturers' efforts. Even Biostar's is better.

>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

>>62228833
also the same thing happened with a MSI board, but the voltage was "just" 1.4v and it was on a beta bios

>>62228859
Which board?

>>62228667
>Wccftech
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

>>62228667
>Gigabyte
They should sell them in Home Depot along with other fire starters.

>buying anything but Asrock

>>62229212
Isn't Asrock shit though?
I really don't know what motherboard manufacturer to go for anymore.

>intel pays motherboard manufacturers to mess up with AMD processors

Interesting how these mobo manufacturers can handle the higher TDP intel processors just fine

>>62228904
>BIOS Version 1.3

oh cmon, 1.5 is already there, nobody is updating to that version

>>62229255
Definitely asrock for amd
If you go intel get asus

>>62229446
Why is this? What does Asrock do better? How are the VRMs?

>>62229212
This.

>>62229442
but it did happen, so it's not like only gigabyte or asus does this shit

>>62228667

>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

>>62228667
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

>>62229819
Use IOMMU = soft when booting into linux
Should fix the iommu errors
HP laptops also have that problem

>>62230115
Nice damage control, gigashit shill

>>62228833
How is asus bad though? Their ROG stuff are fine

>>62230137
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

>not knowing asrock is fucking owned by asus

>>62230451
You clearly have no idea how subdivisons works.

ASUS doesn't write Asrock's firmware, nor vice-versa

>>62230465
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.

>>62230451

>>62230465
Asus broke from Pegatron. Asrock is under Pegatron. Asus hires ECS to assemble the boards.

>>62230489
>Asus hires ECS to assemble the boards
Well that certainly explains a great deal.

Gigabyes lead developer is called Bernie Hausdown

WOW! it's nothing

>>62228833
>asus a joke
what a cuck anon, asus makes good stuff

>>62229819
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.

>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?

>>62234767
I think there's probably a lot of Linux users in this thread. Gigabyte had/has a reputation for being Linux unfriendly.

>>62234767
Asus are the only ones that kept their status while Gigabyte is literally the motherboard made for terrorist bombers.

>>62228667
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.

>>62228667
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.

>>62228667
>somehow it's gigabyte's fault

Why doesn't that happens on Intel side then? You fucking shilling Indian retards

>>62228667
>gigabyte mbos

asrock,asus even fucking msi are above

>>62228833
>gigabyte and asus are a joke
The sad state of being an amdcuck.

>>62230451
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.

>>62230318
AMD ASUS Line was bad.
Still ASUS is bad because literally no warranty.
