Ask Slashdot: Which Motherboard Manufacturer Provides the Best Support?

Posted by msmash on from the closer-look dept.

New submitter Hrrrg writes: A number of years ago, I built a computer with an Asus LGA 1150 Z87-Pro motherboard. Since the discovery of the Spectre and Meltdown CPU flaws, I was hoping for a BIOS update to address them. However, it seems that there will be no BIOS update forthcoming for this 5 year old motherboard. I would prefer not to repeat my mistake with future builds. Can you recommend another manufacturer that is doing better?

    Their support is so great, it's almost like they're watching what you're doing.

    ... 5 year old motherboard ...

    Good luck. In the land of consumer electronics, things that old need to be carbon dated.
