All the consumer brands are pozzed. My last build (i7-14700K) used an MSI board. Their secureboot is still broken. The BIOS setup is complete mess, and all the settings are reset after a BIOS update. I have to unplug and replug my USB keyboard after a poweroff, or it doesn't work. But I insisted on a board without RGB lights, and that limited the selection. Computers are over.
- ribcage 1y agoThere really needs to be an open source project for a PC motherboard.
- matheusmoreira 1y agoJust a few days ago people were talking about this on the kicad discord. A chinese team made an open hardware x86_64 motherboard and published it not too long ago. Then they were essentially wiped off the face of the planet. That was the day I learned you literally cannot develop a computer motherboard without Intel's permission. Turns out Intel is no different than the likes of Nintendo.
- Arnavion 1y agoYes, if you want to go that route, you'll be better off going with RISC-V.
- jeffparsons 1y agoI absolutely want to go with RISC-V longer-term, but it seems we're still a few years away from RISC-V boards being a pragmatic choice for the average workstation, unless I've missed some recent development.
- mrheosuper 1y agoI doubt that. Chinese "tinker" has been making countless "x99" motherboard that reuse consumer chipset like h81 or b85. I don't think Intel approve that
