well man its always a toss up with parts if you get a lemon or not....no one can guarantee that you will not get a defective board....the only way to tell is put it together and see how it works...if it doesnt send it back not too difficult. btw your link brings us to a page that is unavailable.

That's a very expensive board and the cpu for that board can be as well , what cpu are you putting in it.
The thing about feedback is that not everyone will leave feedback and the people who have a problem with the part are more likely to leave bad feedback then someone who had no problems.
The thing I look at when looking at the feedbacl is how many of the 4 star and 5 star reviews are compared to how many 1 star andd 2 star there are. I fyou add the 4 and 5 together and then add the 1 and 2 together and there are more of the 4 and 5 then I feel that the part has good reviews and is a good part since there were most likely a lot more 4 and 5 stars that didn't bother to leave feedback.
I have had experience with Asus boards and have purchased them when they had similar feedback scores and did not have any issues. The thing you want to do is get the thing put together as soon as possable so that you can verify everything is in working order because Newegg is exceptional when it comes to RMA within the 30 days , after that your dealing with Asus.
