Hi all,
After a bit of advice on motherboard options to swap out my X370-f Strix board. Long story short I have had system crashes which after a long period of fact finding seem to be down to incompatibility between Asus boards and Corsair iCue as well as an odd CPU temperature reading anomaly which may or may not be related, see the links below for full details of my troubles.

This however leaves me with the option of either changing all my Corsair parts (H150i, K70 mk2, M65 pro & Void USB headset) which to get like for like quality will run me about £500 or get rid of the Asus Mobo (need to do a little more research to be 100% that this will solve the issue but want to look at my options).
Now if I go with changing out the motherboard it will likely be for an X570 board from either Gigabyte or MSI unless I can get firm confirmation that the X570 Asus board does not have this issue. I know I've read that the Gigabyte bios is not the nicest to use and have heard good things about MSI but have no experience at all with them. If my budget was between £200-250 what ATX board would you personally recommend?
Other specs for reference:-
Ryzen 2700x (not overclocked)
Aorus 1080ti
2x8GB 8pack Team Group RAM 3200mhz (clocked to 3200mhz)
RM850X PSU
H150i Pro AIO
1 x M.2
2 x SSD
2 x HHD
3 ML120 case fans (+ the 3 that run through the H150i)
Many thanks for your input, let me know if you need any more info.
