I never bought gigabyte anything ever and never had any problems like this.

Gigabyte are the only vendor that would come out and tell you proudly that "We don't support linux on our motherboards, please use windows" because they failed to implement a number of ACPI tables.
They are also the only vendor that i know of, that Nvidia has to actively ensure their video drivers work on because again, ACPI is not implemented properly.
Not to mention the average gigabyte motherboard FREEZES when you hit the power button during post/preboot rather than shut down.

But they ARE "Chy Neeesss"
Is this the new IT Golden Showers?!

All of these big companies have pulled off some dick moves. ALL.

They do, but by my calculations Gigabyte stands at the top by a large margin. They're the only mobo manufacturer on my "never buy if an alternative exists" list... which is quite the feat considering how few mobo makers there are.
The others aren't famous for bait and switching on all tiers of their products, they stand alone with that distinction.

Gigabyte refuses to RMA GP-P750GM / GP-P850GM PSUs; their PR statement is a complete lie.
interesting response from Gigabyte....... Reddit user

By my calculations it would be MSI, with their slimy scalping scandal. They are the only GPU manufacturer on my "never buy if an alternative exists" list. See what I did here? We all are little biased considering some manufacturers. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending Gigabyte. I hate them all. With burning passion... Well there are a few companies which surprised me in a good way (like EKWB and AMD), but I'm confident that there will be some who will call me a raging lunatic and that both of my mentioned companies suck.
Regarding Gigabyte I've had mixed experience. Their GPUs are the only ones that have not died on me. Asus, MSI - all dead. BUT Gigabyte support is a freaking joke. When the RTX 3000 series launched I asked Gigabyte if their 3080 Eagle will have reference PCB so I could mount water cooling. Answer from support: "That is classified information! Also you will lose your warranty!"
Neo Cyrus
Wrong, there are too many factors in that scalping scandal to blame the whole, meanwhile Gigabyte's bait and switch spans so many years I don't know how far back it goes, is ongoing, and must be from the top because anything otherwise would be impossible. Comparing the two examples a complete false equivalence. I don't give a single fuck about any of the companies, I have no reason to have any bias, I buy from those who are least likely to screw me over and Gigabyte is the major outlier despite all the mobo companies being sleazy.

Cuz you like to see PSU's self-destruct? Or you work for GN....
Every Gigabyte product I've ever bought has had power related issues.....4 motherboards, all with VRM failures..... Graphics card that required voltage increase to get stable....
If the only choices were a pre-built system or use a Gigabyte motherboard.....would you choose XBox, Playstation or Nintendo?
Well, MSI and Gigabyte do both suck..... They are both Anti-consumer. MSI tries to bride reviewers and Gigabyte just tells their customers to eff off and lies about things.... I've also had Asus tell me to eff off not once but twice....but I've also had Asus offer to make arrangements with Newegg for cross-shipping to replace a potentially faulty graphics card. So there is that.... ASRock support may not be perfect, but at least they've never told me to eff off.
ruukjis
Yeah, yeah... Just mark my incredibly wise words: that is today. Tomorrow someone else will fuck-up things so bad that everyone will screech: "Ohhh my Gaaaad they are the worst!".
But right now Gigabyte is stealing the show in major ways. Now the hacking scandal. This is gonna be good.

But that's what I was getting at, it's not just "today", it's not some temporary scandal, the thievery has been ongoing for so many years that I don't know how far back it goes. No other company in history has such a record, and to match that would literally take years, assuming Gigabyte ever stops.
As for now they're just busy horribly lying to try to make it Gamer's Nexus look bad instead of just admitting they were selling time bombs, and recalling them as they should.
ruukjis
Now you are exaggerating. If everything is sooo bad as you are describing do you know what happens? The free market kills those companies, they lose customers, they lose share value How is that Gigabyte is still alive if they have been doing this for years? Actually it's quite the opposite - their value is growing, their share value is all time high... well now it's dropping for obvious reasons, but it's still miles away from the previous years.
Neo Cyrus
How is that an exaggeration? Also where the hell have you been that you're actually questioning what I described as if it's some shocking news. Have you heard of Gigabyte in the last decade? Year after year they keep getting caught doing bait and switches and they just keep saying it's just revisions. You tell me how they're getting away with it. The best guess I have is that people are either apathetic, retarded, or both.
I don't give a shit regardless, you're exhausting. You don't believe common knowledge, don't care. Stop talking.

Calm down. Cause honestly I don't know anything about that, I know they had multiple collisions with Asus, I know about the big stock plummet after they laughed at China made products, I know about $5 Million self ownage. Nothing about shady business practice and customer scamming for years.
I could go and rave about MSI all day long and call you an apathetic retard because you have not followed their mishaps as closely as I have. However I DO know that I'm biased and have personal grudge against MSI and have dug up every little dirt about them to build my negative perspective.
So don't tell me you are above that. If what you say is so obvious, well then... you shouldn't have any problems bringing up some links to those big articles about Gigabyte screwing over their customers...
Neo Cyrus
1 - That wasn't targeted at you.
2 - I have a "grudge" against / I'm wary of nearly all of them because I know what they do.
3 - Above holding a grudge? No. But the fact that they all do scummy things, and I do look at purchase choices/recommendations to others without bias knowing that, means that it doesn't matter. There are so few choices, so purchase decisions about motherboards have to be done as objectively as possible, there's not much of a choice. And yes "anything but Gigabyte if an alternative exists" is objective considering the fear of getting something different and downgraded from what you expect is serious issue. And not wanting to fuel a company known to do that is a legitimate reason to avoid them even if you could get a sample that matches reviews.
I'd consider Gigabyte products once again if I somehow had a guarantee I wasn't going to get a downgraded item that's not the same thing I've looked up reviews on, and that they're not going to continue bait/switching. But of course that's not possible, and Gigabyte have always been hush about what they swap out, they give little to no info about "revisions" last I checked.
I even called them up to get information and they just straight up tell me they're not allowed to discuss what was changed in a revision of an item... guess why.
I looked up specific cases of their bait and switches intending dump a lot of links onto you. Like when they removed entire power phases from high end expensive motherboards and sold them as revisions without mentioning anything or listing out any information for anyone to know they're buying big downgrades. I found nothing. There isn't a peep about it even though it was even discussed here, where I first heard of it. You tell me why there are no search results. I already told you why I think it is.
Don't believe it? Don't, I don't care care, like I said, you're exhausting.
ruukjis
Ok, I did find something, but that's not much. That's more like a marketing issue.
[youtube=3IjWCOXSuKU]
I can't even find bad reviews. Try to understand my perspective - you look like a lone crusader. I've never bought Gigabyte mobos don't know about 'em. But I will still stick to their GPUs as I have not found any that would serve me better. And still will stay away from MSI GPUs
Try calling Asus with exactly the same question... and don't be surprised.
Yeah and I can't find the big issues with MSI Frozr on GTX 5XX series, but there was, I was one on the receiving end. So now what?
And you are annoying. If you don't want a discussion - don't. But if you do replay stop whining about exhaustion.
