I need to build a new pc soon. Mine is currently 10 years old and it’s showing its age. I just don’t know what motherboard manufacturer to go with! I’m currently using an asus mobo that has been great and solid for a decade, but… I want to support a good company.
Agree. I’ve had one MSI motherboard and it didn’t last long. I’ve had two ASUS motherboards and neither ever had any problems. Ofc I wouldn’t buy another now that this story came out though
As far as I know they’re all bad in one way or another. Gigabyte allegedly has decent support, but from my anecdotal evidence you’re also more likely to need it. I’ve always bought Asus mobos and never had an issue with them. But I know it will not be a fun experience when it eventually happens.
I stick to their high or middle end products though, imo their budget stuff is unreliable af (and the high end is bloated with useless features to inflate prices. But sometimes you can get a good deal on them).
Honestly you would have better success buying from somewhere that offers own warranty not just manufacturers warranty, somewhere like Amazon, but you have to make sure it is sold by Amazon

Had no problems with MSI
Under no circumstances should one go with MSI.
I’d take a gamble with asus than the shit msi put us through.
