AMT8 in Catalina

[Tony Scharf]

I have the same feelings about ASUS.   I had a machine based on them that was riddled with odd problems until I eventually bit the bullet and replaced the mother board (can’t remember what I replaced it with)…and suddenly all the weird went away…

That whole experience really ruined my on DIY PC’s.  I just can’t be bothered when I actually have work to do.

  That was definitely an issue with my Supermicro C7X58 with LGA1366
socket. Of the four USB ports I kinda blew up while installing the ATX
backplate, one of them turned out to be still working, years later,
while one of the unaffected ports stopped working. It was a power issue,
although I suppose sticking the little metal lips of the backplate into
the ports didn't help.

I ended up buying a 4xUSB PCI (!) card to make up for the lost ports and
the increasing number of USB devices.

Oh, and I'll never buy another Asus in my life, not after three
mainboard and a graphics card all developed problems of some sort, or
simply stopped working. Other people seem happy with them, though.
