I think the 4K 144Hz ASUS monitor might be the issue I was having. I use it every day, all day, but it doesn't play nice with my computers during POST. Once POST passes everything is normal. It's like the BIOS freaks out connected to it for some reason. MUCH WORSE on the Encore than the white Apex. Never happens with my dual 1440P Predator screens or on HDMI.

 

Hmmm. Same behavious on most tested bios versions? Bugged firmware is common. As well check if there is an firmware update for that Asus monitor. It's Asus as you know.

They've never been consistently good. Very hit or miss. It's no secret that I haven't liked the ASUS brand for a long time and they haven't changed my mind so far. It's not their products that suck as much as their process and approach to things, and poor QC. I am not planning any upgrades anytime soon, but when that day comes, if possible, my next purchase will be a different brand unless the different brand doesn't offer anything desirable. So, my next motherboard will most likely be from Gigabyte, ASRock or MSI. I can't say that I like any of them to be honest. They all have have issues to some degree. EVGA was the only brand that I can say that I actually liked and we see how that turned out. Being the best takes a back seat to popularity, and being popular doesn't require being good or great. Until 2-DIMM motherboards become the norm, the acceptable options that can be counted will be few and far between.

Has everyone seen the Gigabyte Tachyon Z890? Definitely looks like the Dark motherboards. 

It’s a spare chip, so owner said I could play with it for a while. 

 

I'd like to say with 100% certainty I'm NOT getting 15th gen.....but I can not. 🙂

 

As it is getting closer, I'm starting to get that "itch" especially being a new architecture.

 

Hopefully reviews show it being close enough (or slower even) than 14th gen to scratch this itch adequately. 🙂

 

Problem is the 4090 is clearly NOT the problem in WoW.....
