Are there any clear winners in terms of 'unlimited weight class' x299 motherboards? I'll spend whatever I need to in order to get good reliability and features.
Baseline:
Reliability
Max number of slots/channels for adding multiple GPU boards
Lots of I/O: Sata ports, USB, etc.
I used Asus for many years, but went to Gigabyte for a system that I built a few years ago, thinking that their tech support would be good and boards more reliable. It didn't work out exactly like that though. After a long phone hold recently, I got some naive misinformation from Gigabyte's tech about features on their x299 boards. And my current Gigabyte does not always boot, for some reason. Are Asrock and MSI in the running? I've never used either.
