Interesting.

Yet this looks like a Qube issue.

But at this point I don't even see the point of returning it. I'm pretty sure every Ryzen Mobo with 1.0.0.6 is acting like a pile of garbage when OC'd. So I guess we just have to wait for ASRock engineers to fix the crap stain of a garbage baby mistake called the Intel X299 Chipset and CPU's lol.

Seriously the way Intel is pushing the mobo manufacturers around to put out a completely overpriced scam of a chipset is appalling. They must be living in lala land because nobody (except the fanboys, they are like the apple cult) is going to want to buy it, the scam is exposed, cats out of the bag. Leave it to Intel to rush a chipset out just to disrupt the market and force manufacturers to divert their attention away from fixing AM4 issues and rub dirt on AMD for stability issues. Which the conspiracy side of me believes that was their plan all along, which would make X299's purpose in life make more sense being that its sole purpose is to just give Intel a upper hand and slow AMD's releases down or disrupt them to give them a bad name.

Intel could of waited for a solid platform to be developed (as they planned), but no. Gotta compete with muh Threadripper and muh $2,000 Skylake X CPU and force the lower end of the market into limited PCI-E lanes, no I-GPU for Quick Sync, etc "just because deal with it". /endintelrant

I don't blame ASRock for this mess, they are trying to do their best in dealing with two upcoming releases from AMD and Intel all while trying to fix the AM4 platform and get it ready for the upcoming APU's. That's a lot of work.

heh. For kicks I went to the local Frys this past Sunday and bought a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming K5. Conclusion; Same as you. Not different with the situation of X370 boards across brands.

Yeah! And maybe, where people agree, that - liking each other or not - life is so much easier when we all agree to not hurt each other and maybe not even lie, cheat and steal..

I have always been a gigabyte-person and gave ASRock a chance this time. I like the customer service and these forums. I think it's a good company, maybe even trustworthy, for a company. And I honestly agree with you. I guess as long as there are competitors in the market, no sane company would show is their inside decision making... No matter how customer friendly they are ascending to be
