+Technically no, but I am not sure how what options there will be on the
+motherboard. I've been trying to read up on it, but though you should be
+able to only disable SecureBoot, it seems it sometimes also disables
+more.
+
+My current motherboard is from Gigabyte. Probably will buy from this
+company again as I don't have any issues with it. PSU wise it is another
+story though :P (but don't think I need to replace the PSU)

+I quite like SecureBoot. This way you can avoid attacks on the boot
