Hi Everyone,
I was doing some dumb thing doing BIOS flash and it brick my X370 Taichi motherboard. Kept getting code F9 and black screen. I am pretty sure it is done for. I am in for suggestion for a new motherboard, this time I want something with a dual BIOS or something that can have a fail safe for BIOS update. Price isn't much factor, currently Newegg got the Asus Prime X470 Pro around $140, but the CH7 $251. I would like to stay away from Asrock and Gigabyte both company gave me pretty bad experiences. I am open to suggestions. Thanks.
 
I went through a three Gigabyte x370 boards before I got the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X370.
It's rock solid and I've had no issues with it.

Kyle likes the X470 version.
 
I like the CH7. Been working flawlessly for me since I installed it. If price isn't a factor, seems like a solid board.
 
Thanks for the suggestion guys. Went ahead and got the CH7, but wondering why the CH7 only has 1 BIOS for a high end motherboard? Most of the Intel board they made got dual BIOS.

It has bios flashback if you screw something up. I've flashed the bios a couple times since purchase and haven't had any issues.
 
I just built a new Ryzen system with the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X470 and love it!. Everything is rock solid and the BIOS is great.
