no linux rgb support, suck with lgbt colours now
Blake Young
Why do you think MSI is bad?
Elijah Robinson
Biostar. MSI make great motherboards.
All of my RGB hardware is supported by OpenRGB on Linux. Which I use to turn it all off, naturally.

Not OP, I just posted this a couple days ago in a different thread but -
Only two times in my life I've gotten a component DOA has both been from MSI. Once a motherboard with a dead north bridge out of the box, and again a few years later with a 1660S graphics card.
MSI, never again.

>buy GAYMEN motherboard from MSI

Carter Watson
Why is OP the worst?
David Turner
>OP never bought a Gigabyte mobo
Andrew Ramirez
PNY do not buy
Daniel Garcia
I'm more for Gigabyte. I don't know if they changed much since z390 but the BIOS is crap. Other than that don't buy brands, buy products. There isn't a single hardware manufacturer who didn't release a shitty or mediocre product.
Alexander Carter
my thoughts exactly. How is the BIOS so crap ?
Nathaniel Howard
Why's that? I've only had gigabyte motherboard and all lasted me 7+ years. I only ever sold them cause the cpu's got too old
Lincoln Lewis
Just disable it
Joshua Gomez
How
What's the replacement logo
Brayden Morales
old gigabyte ≠ nu-gigabyte
their new shit is all garbage
only their top end products are ok
Nolan Wright
it's funny, the only time i have ever had issues with motherboards was with ASROCK instead of msi. two motherboards that just die after 4-5 years of standard as fuck use and just stop working one day for literally zero reason.
msi never did this to me.

kek who ever sees their splash screen? you press the power butt, fetch a cup of coffee from the kitchen and when you’re back your desktop has long been waiting for you
Noah Anderson
I'm sure to an extent it's just "luck of the draw". I've had good experiences with Asus and Gigabyte, though I've heard MANY times over the years that Asus has some of the worst customer service out of any mobo manufacturer - luckily I've just never had to use their support.
Thomas Taylor
I've been putting together computers for close to 10 years and the only time I've ever gotten a DOA product was with Asus. I've used every brand at this point.
Landon King
i mean even beyond luck of the draw for things like reliability, msi's bios is just plain good right now, and their utility software in the form of msi center (formerly dragon center) is now 100% light weight on system resources in comparison to the shit asus is forcing on users, allowing for installable modules so you only download what you want/need. i went through 3 different manufacturers before i found one that didn't have forced system bloat that actually functioned properly.
Oliver Cox
Gigabyte gigashite
Their gpus and everything else is horrid
James Price
I agree their software has always been decent, like Afterburner, I just didn't have as much luck with quality control on their hardware side of things.
