The USB onboard controller on my ASUS Crosshair VI seems to have busted on me. That being said, it would seem I’m now in the market for a new MB.

I haven’t been keeping up with the industry and my MB crash is a bit unexpected, so I’m coming into this a bit blind. Looking for advice or feedback from your own experiences.

I have the following components:

  • 2 x 16 gb 288 pin 3600 DDR4 SDRAM G.Skill Trident Z Neo
  • EVGA FTW3 RTX 3080Ti
  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core/16thread
  • Seasonic - PRIME TX-1000 80+ Titanium PSU

Looking for suggestions. Not sure if it’d be better to get a new CPU and MB or continue with the current setup with a new MB. I’m also vibing with MBs that have very little to no RGB, I’m a bit RBG’d out.

Appreciate any help or advice

(Edit: added PSU)

    It does, I’ve reflashed the bios a few times and rolled back to 4 different versions. No luck.

      Ah stink.

      I’d try for just getting a new MB. At least at first. You might even get away with an mATX or ITX board and save a few $.

      If you do decide to rebuild a new machine, then at least you’ll have a functioning machine to re-purpose.
