Neither ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, or ASRock ship their z-series boards with Intel stock defaults. They all do dumb shit to the default settings, which for some can just cause high temps or slow downs, but for others can cause the machine to crash after 10 minutes, or immediately when you start calling AVX.
I had to deal with this firsthand. I thought I had a faulty motherboard from Gigabyte, but in the end it wound up being bad defaults. I wasted 3 days and had to become familiar with overclocking in order to fix their fucked defaults.
Intel needs to get put pressure on their partners to only ship boards with Intel's specifications as the default. They can instead include other profiles that have what the motherboard manufacturer wants.
