    Re: Features - QOTW: Which motherboard manufacturer do you trust most?

    i know that Asus generally make great boards however, poor customer support.

    EVGA - never buying their buggy motherboards ever again. Currently using Z77 and it still has bug after almost a year being released. In saying the hardware is great and so is their support, that is why i am sticking with their gpus.

    Gigabyte on my old Athlon 64 hasnt missed a beat and still runs today.

    Gigabyte. Simply for build quality and durability. Over many years of system building - they've always been a cut above the rest. At least, in my perception. I also used to be partial to Abit but now they're gone. QQ

    ASUS are my king of kings. Currently on a Gigabyte though, and had no problems. Used MSI in the past as well, and found have found them to be solid.

    The best support is support I never need.

    I used to swear by Abit, but since they pulled out, I'm not loyal to any mobo brand.

    Was always Abit (still clinging on now, albeit with a modded BIOS) but should be getting an Asus board some time next week so I look forward to seeing how it fares.

    Gigabyte and Asus, But as they have Value, Quality and features all rolled up in one box, I have to put MSI at the top.
