Does ASUS actually make shit motherboards or is this a meme

every single mobo company makes shit mobos

>PEED

Asrock is better

For z390? Yes, go gigabyte.

So who makes the best motherboards then

dunno but i got a rog strix x470-f for $130 and it works perfectly so seems good to me

Been running ASUS only for mobo 10+ years now, not a single issue ever.

My Asus motherboard has been fine for 2.5 years now, though I don't OC anything so im not really pushing it. The Gigabyte motherboard it replaced lasted less than 6 months.
Saying that the ASUS 2080 I bought only lasted 8 months.

This is anecdotal but I've owned ASUS laptops twice. Returned the first one after 24hours because the CPU would overheat repeatedly. Returned it and got another. MOBO died just outside of the warranty period.

if you ask Jow Forums literally every motherboard is shit except for b450 tomahawk which is "ok"

Asus for motherboards, EVGA for GPUs.

MSI is a good second choice for both, but imo Asus and EVGA is still better.

Lower end mobos used to be pretty shit, but maybe that has changed since then. At least I hope so, because out 6 my PCs, 4 run on Asus mobos

Asus for motherboards and gpus. Usually a bit more expensive but always the better, cooler, quieter components.

Their engineers know what the hell they're doing for sure, and their top of the line boards are absolutely good shit. The problem is that they've turned artificial segmentation into an art form with the features they cut off of boards as they get cheaper. That said, their midrange boards,while good, will probably also be a bit more expensive than competitor boards/will have less features (See: USB flashback), but their mature BIOS more than makes up for it imo.

I can forgive the rest, but that CMOS battery is the dumbest thing I've seen in months.

ROG products are edgy in general, gaming lights everywhere, just ridiculous ricing up and bloatware features nobody needs.
Mine is a regular ASUS but it's the X99-DeluxeII so it's on the edge of being ROG edge-tier bullshit, it has lights on the heat pumps, PCI clips and around the edges, a bunch of bloatware that not only don't I need but I had to disable half of it to get SteamVR working because it fucks with the USB port detection somehow. Mobile charging stuff, it tries to detect when a port is used to charge something and ramp up voltage for it but it breaks regular port detection somehow that meant shit wouldn't work in it.
Also, this mobo means that I have to unplug my mouse when I boot to windows or it hangs.

I got this mobo because it had a bunch of stuff I wanted, dual lan cards, a bunch of USB, builtin wifi, some other stuff that let me build a really good super redundant PC for work that could connect through different lans or use wifi off my phone so I could work no matter what, also huge amounts of ram and shit. It has flaws though, I literally have to unplug my mouse when I boot to windows or it fucks up.

Intel doesn't have this problem.... because their chipsets don't support PCI-E 4.0

I can't hear my chipset fan on my C8H. Highest its gone was 3400rpm and still couldn't hear it over anything.
my shipset is often at 72c but still it doesn't spin up beyond that peak

this
fanboying over mobo companies is stupid, just read actual reviews for each segment / motherboard / chipset before making a decision.
ALL mobo manufacturers deliberately gimp good motherboards for no other reason than to fill a price point. They also go the other way around, pricing the shit out of inferior products just because they can.

imagine not having PCIE4

I wonder if I'll use it over the next six years. Hopefully Nvidia 3000 series uses it

Literally a meme.
They still host all of their bios updates for boards over 10 years old.

They also have huge ram whitelists and their VRMs are better than MSI's.

Enable in bios.

ASUS is actually cool because their AIO power headers can function as a PWM fan or LED controller.

It's prob setup as a extra fan by default for brainlets who don't use a AIO or rad pump.

>even the fucking battery is pozzed

>Asus makes shit everything
I bet you're a MSI fan.

Asus used to make unquestionably the best motherboards on the market up until the past couple of years. By far the best UEFI, by far the best component choice, by far the best feature sets. They've gone downhill in recent times though, cutting corners everywhere to bring costs down whilst still charging more than everybody else. They still have the best UEFI on the market, but Gigabyte have overtaken them and sped off into the distance when it comes to build quality and features.

Only the most retarded of fucking brand whores would consider Asus graphics cards the best around.

For what it's worth I built a my current system on the Asus prime X470 pro last July and it's been pretty nice so far. And Only recently after 5 years I replaced my Asus 290x not because it died but for better efficiency.

Are you sure? Asus always makes the best, at least for nvidia cards. They're always cooler and quieter with high clocks.

What do you consider the best, without being a brand whore, of course.

Their workstation parts back in 2011 were pretty good, I remember the Rampage IV being top of the line.
Pic related still works perfectly with an i7 3820 at 4.7ghz

Asrock

ASUS ROG cards are never the best you brainlet. Usually EVGA or Gigabyte take that spot.

You seem emotionally invested in EVGA or Gigabyte, yet you haven't stated a single reason why you think they are better.

Pic related is ok too. Very versatile, has everything but the kitchen sink: Classic PCI, COM, LPT go together with socket LGA1151v2 and Z370 chipset.

I just wish I could find a board like that for socket AM4.

Imagine caring for the looks of something that you put in a black box.

Gigabyte. Their software is shit though.
They're just fine. You need a clean power supply though. And I recommend buying off the QVL.

>ANUS
ew

>not having a dual glass or side panel
Gay.

Z170A. 4 years going. P decent.

It makes me feel young again. Like time traveling back to the turn of the millennium.

Before upgrading to 3700x (on a msi b450) I used Asus P5Q deluxe for 11 years and never had a complaint. Currently their high end and upper mid tier boards are very good but generally their lineup is somewhat overpriced and suffering from the fad of prioritizing gaymen trash over functionality.

I've personally never had a single issue with Asus products, especially motherboards. I've had more than I can count with Gigabyte though. I currently have an Asus Maximus XI Hero Z390 for my 9900k.

I'm not sure where this love of Gigabyte comes from. During the 2000s they were one of the top board makers. I've been using their boards since the PIII era and never had an issue with any of them. This changed when they switched their high end boards from the Ultra Durable branding to Aorus. The first generations of Aorus boards were overpriced garbage. It wasn't until Z390 that they got their act together again and started making good boards.

>Implying I give a shit
That's where you're wrong kiddo. But seriously are they even self aware anymore with a design that literally has EDGE carved into it in glowing fucking letter?

Asus used to be good until these ROG thots took over production

Other user is right though, ASUS UEFI is god tier shit compared to the piss tier others.

This. I bought Asus for my current build simply because of the BIOS. It literally just werks. Just gotta hope you never have to deal with their RMA but that's why you buy on Amazon I guess.

Hey, ASUS is giving its fans what they want.

Never undestood the point of writing completely random "gayming" shit in different fucking languages.

Who asked for this? Don't get me wrong I have such a board myself disabled RGB and am more than happy with it because no one ever sees it anyways but what the fuck?

Their software support is fucking garbage and their website is a fucking mess
Though intel is partly to blame for the new platform every 14 months culture

I don't like rgb non functional heatsinks with out surface area. but asus highend section never cheaped out like other brands fuck u Gigabyte.
so cheap board are always cheap but asus top products have and will always be good.

I'm using this motherboard and the quality of the board is very good but Asus's software is garbage. I wanted MSI's Z390 MEG but it cost $120 more (because the Asus board was part of a bundle). Overall the board is very good its running my 9700k at 5ghz @1.29v but I uninstalled all the Asus shitware.

Every company has a stumbling product occasionally. Their boards are, on average, pretty goddamn good. That's where the love comes from.

ASUS is biggest
Too much marketing lately
Competition is often better choice with lowest prices and same vrm and features

Here's a good question
Who makes the most RELIABLE motherboards?
Everyone talks about features for price, VRMs ,etc but no one talks about failure rate, what changes between revisions, quality of soldering, shit you might want to know if you want a motherboard to last

DFI

there's no real answer to this question

>And Only recently after 5 years I replaced my Asus 290x not because it died but for better efficiency.
I think a card dying after 5 years is absolutely terrible. I'd probably never purchase that brand again

Got a Zenith Extreme, works a charm. No complaints.

>They still host all of their bios updates for boards over 10 years old.
This is a underrated feature, several times in the last year i have had to get drivers for old hardware from suspect third party sites because the manufacturers support site didn't have it listed or just listed dead links.
Seems like a lot of 2000-2010 drivers have been lost to the internet black hole while no one bothered to save it because it wasn't "retro" yet.

intel made the best motherboards

My niqqa. Pic related just celebrated it's 10th year of service, in my main rig. Upgraded to a hexcore Xeon and overclocked it to 4.2GHz. I'm waiting for Ryzen 4000.

Every motherboard I've bought going back to 2004 has been Asus and at this point I'm too superstitious to buy any other brand since I've never had an issue with any of them.

It didn't die, he swapped it for one with better efficiency.

>MSI Z390 MEG
>EVGA 2080ti

The patrician choice.

>tfw when just bought a B450 Strix and it should come in tomorrow

Well, better hope this one doesn't die, I've pretty much always had ASUS stuff, the only problem I ever had with that brand was my old laptop that would randomly shut down because it was overheating, changed the thermal paste on the CPU, cleaning the fans and it's been working like a charm ever since.

asus shit is gud

It's not like that
X makes the best motherboards all range every range ever
You ceck what you need on your mobo ando go for good vrm if you OC or want to uopgrade cpu in the future

No. They probably make the best mobos but are overpriced. This causes them to look bad when you segment by price. MSI and Gigabyte recently have been making very good mobos recently, the only place ASUS holds an advantage is with BIOS.

idk. I'm Welsh so therefore my motherboard has dragons on it

My only ASUS Z97 motherboard died after 6 months. Been using Assrock ever since and it's great. Asus only makes excellent hackable routers and that's it.

This man knows. I only buy Asrock mobos because they never fail me

what is itched, do you mean etched?
