I would avoid ASUS. Seems to the worst right now.
<davidlt[m]>
Oh, and make sure your motherboard has ability to flash BIOS without a CPU.
<thefossguy>
I would go with AsRock Taichi for the x670 platform
<thefossguy>
They have improved a lot + “unofficial” ECC support
<thefossguy>
I’m a sucker for ECC
<davidlt[m]>
I was thinking about X670E Steel Legend IIRC
<davidlt[m]>
And it's quite cheap too.
<thefossguy>
<davidlt[m]> "There was the whole thing that..." <- That has been addressed. The notice was the default notice for all beta BIOSes and this is a special case. They forgot to change it lol
<davidlt[m]>
They did it, but took a long time.
<rwmjones>
the system builder I'm using are only offering asus motherboards (for AM5)
<thefossguy>
Steel Legend is good too, haven’t seen it’s reviews from that many people
<davidlt[m]>
After multiple videos from major YouTubers, etc. dropping ASUS.
<thefossguy>
rwmjones: As in a third party assembler?
<davidlt[m]>
There is also X670E PG Lightning
<davidlt[m]>
Both of these also support Thunderbolt 4 via additional card.
<davidlt[m]>
But no video under TB4.
<davidlt[m]>
They do have AGESA 1.0.0.7 which provides support for 24 and 48 GB DIMMs too.
<davidlt[m]>
And BIOS Flash Back support.
<rwmjones>
thefossguy: not sure what you mean, but yes they will assemble it
<davidlt[m]>
But there should be AGESA 1.0.0.9 late this month that solves CPU blowing up issues.
<thefossguy>
rwmjones: That's exactly what I meant. i.e. a third party assembles it for you and ships the PC to your address.
<thefossguy>
In that case, I wouldn't worry about the Asus issue since I would be covered by the assembler's warranty for this
<rwmjones>
that one, yes
<thefossguy>
And you can easily point this as a known issue if it were to happen
<thefossguy>
Though, hopefully, it doesn't happen. Downtime is expensive
<davidlt[m]>
It's not likely to happen fast on non-3D parts.
<rwmjones>
yeah they're local & I've used them many times and they often raise compatibility issues or potential problems when building things, so I don't think it's going to be a problem
<davidlt[m]>
It would be years before CPU degrades.

Almost done with KF5 5.106.0 update
<davidlt[m]>
There is a new stable kernel 6.3.4.
<davidlt[m]>
I like my brain doing random things. I just hit super key, then type xeon, and hit enter.
<davidlt[m]>
It opened a Firefox window with Xeon Phi pictures :D
<davidlt[m]>
And yet I have no idea why I wrote "xeon".

It do be like that

I’ve ended up on apple.com looking at the perfect iPad to buy. Just to realise later, “Why do I need one?”

I have created Fedora 38 images, but still haven't tested all of them.
