Pros: Its a 2080 ti so you know the specs

Cons: Card crashes at about 60c

Bad Egg

ASRock Z97 OC Formula LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Tons of features and it's water resistant.

Cons: After some 15 years of building my own pc (my fifth one now) this is the first time I have ever had issue with any hardware I purchased. I must have been the luckiest person in the world to have never had to return or replace any hardware. This motherboard broke that long streak with constant annoying issues. The biggest one, and the reason why I returned the board for a refund is it would boot continuously over and over again if the power was turned off on the power supply. Eventually it would randomly post and start up. As long as I shut the computer down via Windows it would boot back up normally. But if I killed the power, good luck if it would come back on. The final straw was a few days ago when I turned the power supply off to install a new SSD. It never turned on again. I know this could have been one bad egg but it has already left a bad taste in my mouth. This was going to be my first Asrock. It will likely be my last.
