I have spent hours on Newegg looking at reviews for a new Z77 mobo and need help.
Historically I have been an ASUS fan. In '07 I got a P5K premium which I had for 4 years.
In '09 I built a computer for a buddy with an ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo that hasn't had issues.
I decided to upgrade last May and first went to look at ASUS, but from the reviews the ASUS QC had seemed to go to complete crap and I got an ASRock P67 Extreme 4 which has been just as awesome as my venerable P5K.
Now looking at reviews, everyone is having issues. Whether it be ASUS, ASRock, or MSI.
When shopping I always pay attention to the negative reviews the most and for each manufacturer about 20% are 1 egg reviews that say the same stuff: DOA, multiple DOAs (one poor dude got 5 DOAs in a row of an ASRock Tom's Hardware Approved board I really liked), terrible customer service, 'I was an xxxx customer for years, never again!'.
As a side note a lot of people are having trouble with USB 3.
Have I gotten incredibly lucky so far or has mobo manufacturing in general gotten so bad it's a close your eyes and point choice?
Help Please!!
