As PC Pitstop began collating the user satisfaction feedback for desktop systems, it became evident that there was a significant number of custom built Desktop systems. Based on system information we were able to segregate these custom built systems into a separate satisfaction report. From this we were able to tabulate what motherboards were in the most loved systems. It is interesting to note that 4 out of the top 10 best loved motherboards are AMD boards.
Another thing I find extremely surprising is that there were no Asus boards in the listing. Asus has long been a favorite of custom system builders but has, of late, been producing some of the most expensive motherboards available.
It’s possible that this survey is pointing to the very essence of why people build custom systems, to get the most system for the least bucks. I can’t help but wonder what this listing would have looked like 3 years ago, less AMD, more Asus? Review your own system and have it added to our results. Run the OverDrive scan, check the boxes, and add comments.
