Shit, if Asus is no good anymore, what brand is good nowadays?
MSI is still on the come up. Can't think of a bad component they've released in many years.
ASRock is always rock solid.
Gigabyte seems to be making a comeback.
NZXT just started expanding on making components, and has really feature stuff. One to watch, though higher-end.
It's funny, ASRock went from a company I'd never fucking heard of to one of the top names in the space. I used to be like "what's this no-name brand?" and now I'm like "Oh ASRock, I know them."
Unrelated, I miss the old Gigabyte Dual BIOS, where it had a backup BIOS in case the default got corrupted. Which mine did, a lot.
EDIT: NZXT? Wait, this NZXT? https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2021/NZXT-Recalls-H1-Computer-Cases-Due-to-Fire-Hazard I'd personally wait a while before jumping all in on them. Fire hazards in components is a pretty big fuckin deal.
This is on many higher end enthusiast/overclocking type motherboards, I’ve had it on multiple MSI and Gigabyte boards.
I have an MSI currently, and when I was searching I never encountered one with a dual-BIOS. I'll keep an eye out in the future, thanks.
