Hey guys...welp it's that time. The SOC Force was easily the worst motherboard I've ever owned. Looked nice when the LEDs were working(they do sometimes now). But the bios,usb and Ram recognition issues are giving me serious headaches. It's time to look for a replacement.

Cross Gigabyte off the list. I'm definitely not purchasing a board from them for this chipset.

I need plenty of slots as I may SLI Titan X's at some point. Plus I have an Intel 750 SSD taking up space. Good overclocking ability would be nice. That was the plan with the SOC Force but the Bios is basically unusable

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions. Much better than the reviews on Newegg especially for motherboards. .

Yeah they normally do. But for this chipset they certainly dont. The Champion like the Force is a garbage motherboard. The Bios is unusable.

I was thinking about the Rampage or the ASRock X99 WS-E. Asus has served me well in the past. The one time I decide to change and it comes back to bite me lol
