Why do EVGA take so long to fix bios issues after launch?

From my experience EVGA boards are on par with ASUS in terms of quality and features for the price...and I almost always prefer them when building Intel systems. It's always amused me though how they don't just take forever to jump on a new chipset, but they almost always seem to ruin the launch with poor bios. This isn't uncommon of course but most manufacturers fix the issues relatively fast, while they often take months to get the boards to their true potential. Once they have everything right though...damn they are fucking great.

 

Still, it amuses me how they are generally as good as anyone with graphics cards (when they aren't blowing up), and put so much effort into making boards of the highest quality...yet pull an old school AMD when it comes to important fixes.

I prefer ASUS, but EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte all the same, buying on price.

EVGA X99: still can't handle overclocking unless you manually lower the CPU cache ratios to < 35.  I told them about it years ago with a ticket and nothing was done.  I had this happen on 2 boards, the X99 Classified and X99 micro2, with known-good CPU's and such.  Never bought another EVGA board.

 

Meanwhile the X99 Rampage V Extreme could do 42x cache ratio and overclocking out the gate with no issue.
