there's a lot of drama currently with how their bios update is the only fix to burning cpu's and it void's warranty so you lose warranty to fix their mistake. Based on that I won't be getting a ally even though really wanted to.

How is that even legal? Makes me glad I’m in the EU to be honest.

Asus states that despite their boilerplate warranty limitations for beta BIOS, they would honour the warranty in this particular case.

They've walked back on those claims and now claim that the warning was automatically added to any "beta" BIOS and doesn't actually apply.
