10 Must Buy Best AMD and Intel Gaming RGB Motherboards 2019
FWIW.
Long story short, a while back I had purchased a Asus maximus extreme 775 socket board, was ddr2 was told the board was the god tier for asus back then, Got it and went home opened it mounted it into system lifted lid to install cpu and the pins had been smashed down I stopped put it back in the box took it back to the pc store they had told me I damaged it wasn't even gone 2 hours from the store and they refused to fix it told me to contact ASUS and so I did they told me to go to the store and speak with the manager.
I did this he told me to contact ASUS and at this point I was getting irritated! I called asus right there on the spot and let him talk to the CSR and they made him look up the board to verify it was new and it had previously been returned. He refused to change it out and Asus did nothing to assist and did not offer replacement I was out almost 300 bucks and it forever soured my taste with Asus.
Fast forward a few years later I decided to try them again so I had bought an Asus z170 Pro board, Didn't last a year and had to buy new memory at that time as mine wouldn't boot with all dimms filled only 2. ( Guess it wasn't supported ) It was on the supported list however.. Had to replace the board... *takes deep breath* So Then I bought this monitor ASUS 27" IPS MG279Q <-- I Got it home all excited to have a greatly reviewed monitor to game on and have fun and the black light bleed on the thing was so bad I could hardly stand it. I run with a black or dark background a lot and it isn't fun to basically see a ray of white sunshine from 3 angles on your monitor.. Returned it.. Now I will say for Asus that I have this Asus 1900 Router and it works great 95% of the time.
Ok long update but here we go, I have been through multipul PSU, GPU and CPUs I have tested the following.
evga 850g3/g2/ocz 850w.
Intel CPUs: 9700k/9600k/9900k/8400/8600k/8700/8700k
LPX kits all in DC ranging from 2400mhz to 3200mhz. XMP and manual tune.
MB: gigabyte h370 hd3/msi z270 m5/msi pro gaming carbon/ and current one to which name I cant recall atm.
GPU: 1050 TI ssc, 1080ti ftw3/ 2080ti ftw3/ and now 2070 ultra etc etc
Drivers ranging from 399.24 to latest.
All motherboards have latest bios.
Storage: only thing that didnt change in all of this, however the reported health is good by samsung tool and a few others but they are Samsung 970 Pro and evo 1tb. NVME.
So now to the point. The freezing happens when launching some 3d applications like in the video above, not all like before. But blizzard is a major player in this happening, also gigabytes software bundle and MSI dragon center as well. I personally give up and am Just going to run with what I have. I have really put some work in on this and have come up with nothing but frustration and emtyphandedness
