I'm having issues with my Gigabyte board, the UD2, not an Asus
...I suspect it's the Ripjaw at fault, not the board though, but I can't say anything for certain yet, it really 'could' be either or even both ...although I highly doubt that.
I'm thinking of trying
this board it's the top of ASRock's new range and they seem to be taking the enthusiast market head on now, it's a £135 board that's built and specified like a £175 from what I can see and read to date. I am suspect, I always am when it comes to things that are cheaper than you would expect, but I might bite the bullit and try it anyway, I really like the look, the specs and the price.
If you just want something that works right now, perhaps the MSI would be best though, if you fancy trying something else, the ASRock 'looks' nice
