Hopefully the end result of all of this is that reviewers and possibly even motherboard manufacturers will concentrate on things that count, such as board quality, accurate voltages set in the bios etc, instead of the current "gamer" more RGB, more volts = more fps nonsense.
A shame there are no viable no nonsense boards available from any manufacturer, high spec, high quality components, with a nice green no bs pcb. Ohh and proper documentation would be nice. I haven't seen a manual for a bios that actually explains what each setting actually does for years. Nor any real change log for when a new bios is issued.
There is no excuse that a board provides different voltages to what is actually set in in the bios. Currently a lot of the boards supply way over spec voltages to multiple components to either enhance performance or compatibility/stability with ram etc. Even my Asus z690 Intel board with a 13900k using bios defaults massively overvolts the system causing extreme heat & power consumption making it unusable. (not to the extent here - however I have not tried) . The first thing I did was undervolt it. Whilst it's obvious a lot of us here do like a bit over overclocking etc. Having it at default raise things beyond spec to edge out over the competition is a issue here. The push for a couple of fps to try and and validate the cost of a £700+ motherboard is a problem.
