    Well I guess everyone has a bad manufacturer. Mine is asus. After getting a couple of their motherboards that were faulty, one after the other I don't buy from them anymore.
    hahaha yeah see i've bought nothing but asus motherboards for like 10 years and never had a problem.. lololol
    ASUS was the go-to brand for years, and then in the early 2000's their quality went straight down the tubes.  The best thing that ever happened to ASUS was that GIGABYTE bought them.  Now they are labeling their best parts with the ASUS brand, and I am back to being an ASUS motherboard fanboy, and drooling over their ROG products.
    Gigabyte bought Asus?  What are you talking about?

    I think he is confusing the joint-venture that happened in 2006:

    Hmm more like a merger than an acquisition... Whatever they want to call it, ASUS's quality improved a lot after the joint-venture thingy.


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    That was ... 10 years ago... and it wasn't so much that Gigabyte bought them, as vice versa - since everything that came from that joint venture was branded Gigabyte... Asus kept their line independant.

    that might be when gigabyte quality got better.. i remember owning a gigabyte motherboard and video card around the time nvidia had it's 6800 0or 6500 or something series... and they were both horrible products

    gigabyte is still one of my wont touch brands though

    On a side note, why do people use the name Black Diamond as if its a good thing? A black diamond gets its color because its structure is more graphite than diamond.
