what are people here's preferences when it comes to motherboard brands? specifically for like am4
Ki've had a good experience with gigabyte and some eh experiences with asus but just want to hear from the real experts
VMy experience with Gigabyte has been awful
Jskip asus
VNever buying them again
VIf all of their products are like this I sincerely they go out of business.
NI have an asrock mobo but in Intel flavour, it’s been solid so far
Kthat's what i thought. i've had like 3-4 boards with issues all asus
Jasus used to be so good, my am5 experience was a disaster
Knot just me personally but also friends
Kwhat happened?
JI got an MSI and it's been awesome
VMy UEFI settings has extreme graphical issues
Kweird
VMy RAM can't go above 3000mhz without extreme instability
VTheir GPU software is HORIFFIC
VGigabyte is a HUGE pass
Hif you are planning to do vfio, i have had good luck with asus and asrock (especially asrock as they tend to provide the ACS override patch on a firmware level so no need for the kernel patch)
Kwell
Ki was wanting to get something cheap off ebay used or whatever for testing parts
Kso i don't need anything fancy
Him a crazy vfio guy, i will be biased towards the vfio usecase 
Pthey say their license is gpl3 tho
Kis that like the gpu passthrough thing for vms?
Hyep
Hwhenever i test bazzite stuff, it is all in a VM with a full gpu
DMy experience has been solid with MSI and Asrock
Although my asrock b450m got rma because the audio port is dying

Hasrock tends to have good cost to features though
Ki see
Ki'll have to check out asrock
Ki want something i can get used on the cheap but still relatively reliable
Hi would say asrock then (although there will most likely be more asus or msi boards out there, at least that is the case here when it comes to used market)
Hmy experiences with msi mobos has not been good though
DMsi memory try it feature is awesome if you want to overclock your ram
Kare there any good sites in the states besides ebay
Kfor used mbs
Hmy friend has had 2 msi boards, on both boards there was a manufacturing issue with the 24pin plug so it would make the cable barely plugged in no matter what.
a feather could loosen it and shut off your pc, or better yet cause a fire and they refused to aknowledge it

SNew TF2 update fixed it
Koh wow
Kthanks alastor
Hbecause of that (and me having to be the tech support that had to deal with that for my friend) msi is off my motherboard list
WMy last two Asrock motherboards have worked great
SMy current mobo is ASRock they're great
Kis that funny octopath guy
Kand okay, thanks, i'll try out asrock
