There has been an explosion in Motherboards, RAM, SSDs, NVME, Fans, Cases, Keyboards, Mice and smartphone variety from a consumer standpoint.
I bought an Asus X470 motherboard and it worked great until I had to update the BIOS. It bricked the board. I got a replacement board and it worked great until guess what. I tried to update the BIOS. There are clear instructions on how to update the BIOS on AM4 and I followed them all. Needless to say that board was also RMA.d. They finally sent me a new one but I did not trust Asus anymore to use the board.
X470 launches and I get the Gigabyte Gaming 7. What a beautiful board. I think that it is the most feature rich (in terms of hardware) X470 board you can buy, however the board decided one day to give the 00 readout and would not boot in single, dual or selective, even though the board has BIOS switches.
I replace that board with the X470 As Rock Taichi (not the ultimate) and am loving it. The board is great but the wireless is meh. I actually replaced the wireless card on the Taichi with the one from the Gigabyte board
Currently AMD have A320, B350, X370,B450,X470 Intel have X299,Z370,B360 and probably a few more. How many companies sell SSDs; even the suppliers are selling SSDs on the consumer market. How many smartphones are made a day? How many different memory speeds are avaialble to the consumer in DDR4 2133 to 4600 from a myriad of different companies? How much demand has China put on global computer parts supply. I know that China is where a lot of the manufacturing of these goods has gone but there are still fabs in Taiwan, South Korea and other places. With the demand and supply glut that we have has anyone else noticed the quality of brands that you trusted has gone down. I have an Asus 990FX Sabretooth board and I can tell you that board survived a lightning storm and still works. The replacement board lasted for 6 years and lives in a computer I gave to one of my brothers. Is it that that they don't make them like they used to or am I just imagining it?
