Worst and Best brands?

[robertnewton]

As far as motherboards go, I personally like ASUS and i've heard good things about Intel (naturally) and Gigabyte. I don't like MSI. Although prices are good, i've had lots of trouble with them so i do not buy them anymore.

Opinions? Best and Worst motherboard manufacturers? and what about for RAM?

Never had an intel, cause of high price. But MSI has given me a god forbidden amount of problems. I love Gigabyte, and its been awhile since I tried asus.

I've had multiple MSi boards over the years..never had a problem. I know 2 other guys who each ran MSI boards back in the Athlon XP days, for like 4 years. They still worked fine when I sold the boards for them on Ebay. I've also had half a dozen MSI graphics cards through the years with no problems.

I guess its all luck. I want to like MSI lol, low prices and cool features. But GG I quit.

Foxconn. They are by far terrible.

I have nothing bad to say about my Gigabyte mobo at all. Really glad I went with them for my current build, I'll probably get another Gigabyte when it's time to upgrade.

msi is a bad board. it cant create a low temperature environment for your cpu. if you buy msi , you'll have high temperature problem.


you gotta install extreme cooling systems to keep its temperature low. too expensive. i regret i buy msi. i should have just chose gigabyte.
