I'm a kind of a default person too, I wish for boards that could UC (under clock) things a bit, for less heat and maybe slightly longer life. I have loved my ASUS boards a lot, but MSI are dreadful, specially disk storage are slow and needs tweaking to work. I have had issues with GPU, but the reason is the computer case, which I had used for quite many years, been loving it, but using PCIe based GPU cards been a pita, it's having the motherboard a bit too low on the port side, which makes the GPU card to not be properly installed, sure you can add a mm on the distances on the port side, but then you may have port a bit covered, so in worst case test things outside the computer case, just be careful to not electrocute yourself. > I can't get to BIOS, not until the green (boot) LED > lights up, there's no point in wearing out the Del key before that.
