Got my chip ordered (12900KF), now I need the Maximus Hero Wifi available in Australia (been using the Hero Wifi since since 8th gen) . I've waited quite a few years for Alder Lake. Still running my 9900K so it's time to upgrade everything.

I'm still rocking my i9-9900K and have no plans to upgrade soon. I have to hold out at least another year.

I don't know what "ma hardware" is, but I do know I don't and never did have hardware issues with any of their boards. I suspect this will be true when I decide to purchase the next one.

At any rate, and for clarity, this is not about Gigabyte vs. Asus (for me), and I wish no part of that so....
Hi,
For one I said "rma" return merchandise authorization not "ma" lol

Second you brought up gigabyte not I

Jay 2 cents has a nice take on gigabyte and their products over all reddit is full of "rma" reviews

Most recent was exploding psu think a few tubers have takes on this recent gigabyte issue.
So good thing you have no gigabyte issues yet

Asus doesn't have all that good of rma's search history either
