    FLASH THE BIOS BEFORE INSTALLING OS!

    I might change my rating later, as I just got the thing up and running with Windows 11 Pro. Spent a few hours troubleshooting why the OS install was taking so long. Then after I exhausted what little I know about building PCs, I went into the BIOS to see what version it was. Then I went to the motherboard's website only to discover the BIOS version was quite old. So I flashed the BIOS, and wouldn't you know it? The OS install went smooth! I should have just flashed the BIOS right from the start. Lesson learned. As of right now, so far, so good... On another note, the board is a bit pricey. Time will tell if it was worth it.

    This one is great I bought 4 from microcenter and not one of them worked. Bought one from Best Buy, works just perfectly. Must be something true about Mucrocenter getting a stick and selling as new! Watch out

    While the motherboard itself is extremely good looking al for an all black build, I got one that wasn’t working. Not only that but when I went into get a new one, Best Buy gave me a used one that I had to return again. The motherboard itself is great, just my experience with Best Buy wasn’t the best.

    Bought this item as excelllent condition ,returned item . Dumbest thing ive ever done. Built my whole pc turned it on and what do you know,a black screen . With error codes popping off on the board. I did everything i could to trouble shoot . Came to the conclusion something is faulty on board . Best buy really needs to stop selling returned items ,or start thoroughly checking items out . Its been over 15 days so i cant even return this junk for a refund. It was a gamble i took and i sure did lose...

    Repair Queue Transparency Needed – Misleading Stat

    |
    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The main problem with Best Buy’s repair status system is that it’s misleading and frustrating. I was quoted 2–3 days for my PC repair, yet it’s been over 5 days and the portal has shown “IN REPAIR” the entire time. When I called, I was told no one has even started working on it. That means my PC has just been sitting there, untouched, while the system falsely claims it’s “IN REPAIR.” This is completely wrong. “IN REPAIR” should only mean a technician is actively working on the device. If it’s simply waiting in line, the status should say “WAITING TO BE REPAIRED.” How can something be “IN REPAIR” for days if no one has looked at it? Best Buy needs to fix this system by adding a status that shows when a device is in the queue and only mark “IN REPAIR” once work has begun. Customers deserve transparency, not misleading updates that make it look like progress is being made when nothing has happened. Show the actual queue and when service truly starts.

    Not Happy

    This product was defective. I wasted time troubleshooting all for nothing and geek squad has no idea how to help troubleshoot and kept repeating himself over and over again. I ended up calling the manufacturer for help and they have sent me an RMA. Estimated time is 10 days to be repaired after they receive the motherboard. I have a trip out of the county next week and this will be a setback as i need this computer up and running ASAP. Called bestbuy and they said i'm out of the return window after selling me a piece of garbage. Not a happy customer.
