Hi. I have a box with the Asus' ROG Strix X299-E Gaming, and there is a number of issues that piled up over the last few months:
- The box had its share of issues with the system getting stuck in the 00 state and restart loops; that started with an ill-plugged power cable, and was stopped by stopping any OC'ing.
- Then Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issues started; that could be purely Linux
- USB issues: flash drives can't be read or written to, both on Linux and Windows. When I plug them into the other box, the system either sees them just fine, or asks to repair them.
- USB issues: keyboard and mouse randomly die, and need replugging
- About latest: Speaker issues: When the box boots up, I've started hearing a strong bass wave as the sound powers up; that didn't happen once since I started using this mobo
- The latest: the H115i radiator fans keep spinning also when the box is powered down; I've tried refreshing the cooler's firmware and also mobo's BIOS; also keeping it unplugged from the power for a while (ofc, they stop spinning when everything is off power); they still keep spinning when the box is powered down
