There is no point in history where that was true. GIGABYTE heavily marketed dual BIOS ROMs as a thing, but it wasn't the only company to offer it and the need for it was definitely overstated. Plus, at the time you are probably referring to, GIGABYTE hardware was dragged down by its abysmal firmware.Gigabyte when I started in pc building was basically the only game in town for dual bios motherboards and boards with solid hardware. I guess it's the ebb and flow of hardware.
I should have said I recall. Lol. Gigabyte had good hardware but not great bios. Then again at the time bios updates were much slower. Thete was no vendor application to manage hardware at least on what I could buy some 25 years ago.There is no point in history where that was true.

I have a Gigabyte Z390 and a B550 board that are both - well, good. Hardware and BIOS are solid. But Z690...I should have said I recall. Lol. Gigabyte had good hardware but not great bios.

That was a clear fluke. A high-profile one to be sure, but not one that you'd expect to happen, and also not one that you'd expect to happen again.What is up with the Z690's having problems? The ASUS Rog Hero z690 had an issue a few months ago as well where their MOSFITS were burning out.
I've had very little problems with my Z690's besides a possible memory/board issue with a Aorus Z690 Master. Now I have used an Aorus Z690 Elite DDR4 board and now an MSI Edge Z690 board and both have been rock solid boards with memory and slight overclocking, though the Aorus board felt cheap even though it wasn't a budget board. I may give DDR5 another try at some point, but it will probably be with Rocket Lake if I do.What is up with the Z690's having problems?
