I helped a friend spec and build their first machine and they got an Aorus (that's so weird to spell) board but it's literally just branding. The board is fine but has nothing fancy, and it's not crazy expensive but it's sure not cheap either. We have flashed new bios on it twice and the instructions are well over 15 years old and very wrong. It's a word document and like 4 steps, and they can't even be bothered to do that much? What set are they leaving on autopilot? (oh, owners, update your bios as there is a recent exploit in the bios due to lack of ssl/tls.... as in, there is none when checking for updates which can lead to you installing a malicious bios...)
Just... questionable.
