Good point Dinos22 but its difficult when it seems so very easy for many of us to replicate this "issue" and have been for some time now? However I have no idea how they or any other vendor handles this kind of research (I always assumed they have a handful of people actually using the motherboards they sell, and using them outside of stock settings? Once again however, the handful of us having "issues" probably represent a fairly small percentage of overall users (and although I assumed they had a handful of people testing I don't think they can test thousands of motherboards to replicate "issues" only a small percentage of us are having)? Hopefully that makes some sense, lol! With that all said Dinos22 do you actually know how this kind of research happens at a place like Asus given your relationship with them? Do they actually setup a handful of motherboards and just try as many different settings and configurations as possible to try finding as many "issues" as possible and then prioritize the problems? Just curious as I haven't really thought about this stuff until reading your post.
