- Sir_Substance 9y agoWho is my vendor if I assembled my computer myself?
- lwhalen 9y agoThe company who built your motherboard
- Sir_Substance 9y agoI'll take your word for it I guess, but I don't see the logic. Why would my motherboard manufacturer be involved in this process? edit: maximum downvotes for a legitimate question, thanks all
- nevir 9y agoIt's a chip that your motherboard manufacturer hardwired in (e.g. part of the chipset). Firmware updates need to go through the efi/bios they set up
- artimaeis 9y agoThe motherboard manufacturer integrated the chipset into their board. They worked with Intel, or Intel's spec/API directly. They are responsible for your machine's interaction with the CPU. The same is true of all the devices directly integrated into your motherboard. Broadcom/Intel wireless chipset, Ethernet, audio, etc.
