Maybe they want tp push X570, so more people buy those boards, but the majority ist using X370/470.
I bought 2 ASUS CH Boards (6+7 WIFI), because of the great Community and Support espescially Elmor/TheStilt etc and i had many many ASUS Products before including GPUs and other Boards. I am not happy at all, and i regret it, because you already wrote why. I am active on many many Forums, including some english speaking forums and many german and guess what, people are not happy at all with their ASUS Boards, whats driving me crazy is apart from the lack of communication and late BIOS updates is, that the Board is so slow in booting up (UEFI mode Windows Install). The components ASUS uses are very good, but guys come on, thats not everything, dont leave us behind and communicate at least, you can release the BIOS as the slowest among the other manufactures, but please talk to us. You want happy customers i guess, dont think because of only handful people here writing that many users are happy, i can assure you, they are not. Is it to difficult for a MEGA Company like ASUS to hire one person here who says, everything will be fine my little childrens, you only have to sleep a couple days more until the BIOS is coming 😄
