I’ve had good luck recently with Gigabyte. I know it’s circumstantial but my hope is that they are recovering.
Anecdotal like the rest of the posts here, but I recently built a new rig for gaming/lab testing and used a Gigabyte board for the first time in a decade after seeing good reviews and a solid sale price.
About 3 weeks after setting everything up it just crapped out. Would reboot seconds after you pressed power. Checked and verified absolutely every other part, no luck. Tried to contact support, got the runaround for a few days until I was directed to a site to submit an RMA request.
That was a month ago, zero movement still. About 4 days into it I bought an identical part of Amazon and "traded" em. I'm usually pretty ethical about that kind of thing but this was ridiculous and I needed the PC working ASAP.
Who's decent anymore? I always used to go with MSI.
They seem to be, but it's been for a short time. Let's see if they keep it going.
