I have to agree with my experience being biased but again I can only say what I've had happen with my board. If you've had good luck with yours I would expect you to suggest it, which in it's own way is a form of bias but for, not against Biostar and that's not unreasonable.

Another noteable along these lines was the Korbin or as it was called a "Kobain" board since those always seemed to die an early death.
You don't see any of these around anymore period.
I can't help what happened here with mine or what's been said in the past, I just know a Biostar over the course of history is not known for being top grade and although they have made improvements over time, they still have a long way to go but it's not like they aren't trying - Can't say that.
I know guys that won't touch anything MSI, even their GPU's simply due to past experience with MSI stuff and I won't blame them if they never do inspite of my experiences with MSI GPU's, all of which have been good so far.
. The chip survived though.
