The motherboard is Ausus OEM by 4MBO. I would never buy this box again
from this vendor, for a lot of additional reasons.

I had some BIOS problems with the box. As it is OEM, the Ausus provided
BIOS updated do not fit. 4MBO gives out none and deny problems (They say
it works all fine with Windows, so what? Just one of the above mentioned
reasons)

I am sure the XX won't help too much.

BTW, on the smbus 0, there are some clients that the sensors package
does not regognize. Are you interested in more details?
