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

[krane]

For me it's EVGA all the way. Not only for motherboards, but for video cards as well.

[watercooled]

Another question. many say they stick with asus as they never had a problem of asus.

In my case the first board I bought as a gigabyte, never had a problem, but still replaced it with an abit, which had no problems, but still I replaced it with a foxconn , which had no problems, but still I replaced it with an ASRock, which has had no problems.

It seems if I had the same thinking patterns on here I would have had only gigabyte boards all this time and would be posting a single word reply along the lines of 'gigabyte'.

I guess I just don't see the point in brand loyalty, in motherboards or anything else.

Agreed, again.

Always been ASUS for me...But I'm currently using AsRock Extreme 6, which was the result of a tough choice trust me. It took evidence of the lower return rates from AsRock coupled with the 3 year warranty to convince me.

[hiyayhi]

Any of the big three (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI), although I like ASUS the most

Yup +1

[fmq203]

Asus or Msi for me, but I recommend Gigabyte too, and Asrock when it's budget biuld

[EasterEEL]

Asus, must have purchased more than 10 over the years, one as far back as 1998 which is still going strong in a relatives PC. Hardly ever seen a problem. although currently I am using a Gigabyte G1.Sniper X58 and an X58-OC both of which over-clock like champions. I had to replace the Killer NIC in in the G1 as it is basically unstable for large file transfers. THe X58-Oc is the finest and most beautiful motherboard I have ever used gracefully adorned with Poscaps that amke it look so sleek.

Ehhh Intel. :|

[jonah]

Yep, I have to agree with Asus. I have used MSI as well but I think ASUS tend to be better laid out.

[cazadorkg]

Asus 4 sure

[hardflipman]

ah, the abit bp6! my first proper motherboard. that lasted me a good few years with a dual overclocked celeron 366 @ 550.

It was always Abit for me but since then it's been gigabyte. they seem to offer what I need from a motherboard at sensible prices. been generally reliable enough

[TheButler]

Asus for me too.

[McEwin]

I'd say ASUS, 10 years ago they were awesome!!

[Willzzz]

Asus

[NickPol]

Got a Gigabyte with bad caps back in '06 or so, and haven't bought another one since.

Two Asus systems have been running for a while now with now problems. So Asus for me.

[shaithis]

None of them.

Had bad experiences with every mobo manufacturer. Asus and Gigabyte have both been fairly solid in recent years but still, they could start shipping duff boards again anytime soon...

I've been using Gigabyte MBs for about 10 years now, never had a issues with them. Next in my list is Asus.
