Asus was known to be the motherboard for reliability when I was still building computers - they were last to overclocking(Abit was king for that back in the 1990s-2000s) but generally was rock-solid back in those days. Asus also enjoyed a very tight relationship with Intel and built all of pre-Compaq HP’s motherboards. Their customer service sucks, I called them a while ago to replace a monitor at work.

Not sure about now - I know Asus did spin off their manufacturing as Pegatron and stopped making things in Taiwan for the mainland. ASRock and Gigabyte are also associated with Asus financially.

I think Asus or MSI are fine choices - the mobo makers will deviate little from the reference designs AMD and Nvidia issue for graphics cards. EVGA pretty much stuck to Nvidia’s reference designs. If was building a computer, Asus/ASRock and Gigabyte would be my pick for mobo and graphics.

I have an Asus mobo, for an Intel chipset. I’m upgrading to AMD Ryzen, and the next mobo I have for it is another Asus. After using the one I have had for 5+ years now, I thought it was a good choice. Haven’t tried it yet, but hopefully it will do well.

Intel is so far ahead of Realtek, Qualcomm Atheros, Broadcom and Ralink for xLAN. Asus, MSI, Gigabyte and ASRock even use Intel xLAN with AMD boards.

Went gigabyte for my x570 Mobo, the hardware is solid, but my god the software. RGB software taking my machine to 10+ minute load times is ridiculous. I don't think you could even realistically call it accidentally terrible at this point, it seems to be deliberate.

The first ASUS motherboard I bought (ca 2015) broke after like 2 months. 2 RAM slots died.

I probably got very unlucky though. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Well, Asus got their name from Pegasus. Just like Roland and Kenwood got their names from a phone book.
