I'd recommend Asus M7 Ranger, great VRMs, heatsinks, power phases, amazing price. Feature ladden too, like the other two. Plus its ROG (nothing extra-ordinary here though)!

I would have to dislike you a lot to recommend asus

look around here at msi and the bios issues with them then look at all the asrock and giga issues and see who got what in what your looking for in a board

I was unable to comprehend that, but, I'd go for M7 Ranger then GB G5 then MSI MPower. MSI has been dealing with some QC issues lately, not sure if they're still around, but Asus and GB hold a place above it in my list.

Not sure if you have a bad experience with Asus, but IMO, it's MoBos are top-notch in quality and great for OCing. Quality heatsinks on most OCing MoBos (with Intel atleast), and some useful BIOS features.

don't get me wrong I used asus for years as well as giga but asus is just living off there old reputation I got friends that were asus only folks and now don't fool with them

its all personal preference on what you feel is right for you and you don't know for sure until you buy it and try it yourself .. I just know what been giving the headaches around here and what has not and this is just not my own stuff I get to see and deal with

^Simply enough, you had your opinion, we respect that. Our recommendation doesn't make Asus the best of all, but bad experiences doesn't make it low quality either.

bad experiences doesn't make it low quality either. ????????? one board with a issue is a bad experience but several is a different story and when theres 3x as many threads coming in like here at toms compaired to the other brands of the same type board where aer you at then ??bad experiences

its so funny that I can just read the threads title and determine what brand board it is just by that cause its the same issues I see here with them

but hay just take in all you can on what you what and do as you feel is best for you .. and it will work as you expect or it wount

good luck

Asus is a good brand or not is out of the scope of this thread, I recommended what I felt like the best. You're free to recommend yours as long as you don't disregard others. Saying 'GB will be my choice over Asus' is fine but saying 'GB will be my choice over Asus as its low quality' certainly will trigger an unwanted debate, one in which I'm unwilling to participate, let's just end it here, about the quality of Asus boards.
