   everything about this new motherboard i got has been working perfectly, the ram is stable unlike in the old one and i don't think my computer makes the weird clicking sounds on startup anymore.

   but i'm still annoyed that there's a large always-on red LED indicator light on an RGB board which means the colours will always clash, and the software is so bad that i can't figure out how to properly configure my fans (not enough fan headers in the right places either :/)

      the fans are loud. always. when i'm trying to sleep, when i'm trying to just relax in my room. it's not a pleasant sound to always hear, because they keep spinning up and down all the time and are never constant.

      i sleep with a fan on, AND star trek engine ambiance playing on youtube. and the fans from my computer still annoy me sometimes

         i'd be halfway tempted to swap back to the old motherboard, especially considering i forgot about the OC button because it's never mentioned anywhere, and that might be what i needed to toggle to get the ram working properly.

         but i'm not 100% that that'll fix the problems nor do i really want to reinstall windows again to install drivers that may or may not compromise stability as well

            i wish people would stop trying to make all their garbage software proprietary and instead just open up SDKs to everyone willing to build FOSS so i can get one single program that'll work with any tech and have the same features as long as the hardware supports them

            and y'know, have support for things that aren't windows

               one day it'd be nice to get a fan controller or something that has its own software allowing me to set up my fans how i want while being OS-agnostic
