Name of the brand will put off most buyers - they're nowhere near as well known and trusted as others and god knows how long it'll last.

I have this board
It has some software issues
The cpu voltage table is so bad
i9-9900k stock voltage less than 1.3v around 1.26
But on this board it just hit 1.37v and always temps in games 60-70c
On other boards same cpu same cooler
Temps in games around 40-50
Also the memory training algorithm is so buggy

Also the rgb u can change colors from the bios only
They need to fix this as soon as possible
