Id recommend the asus boards for the fanxpert+ function, i use the p9x79 deluxe, if you dont care for deluxe id go with pro, i just wanted the wifi module and other do-dads
In before PCunicorn goes off on one about how ASUS boards are rubbish!
But I would agree. I love my ASUS board and I've never had a problem with them either.

Oh no, I actually like Asus's higher end offerings like the P8Z77 V and P9X79, and support might be okay if you are just a little lucky, honestly I have never gone through asus support or RMAs so I can't tell you what it's like, but I have heard much worse things about it then Gigabyte just from 2 searches at OCN. I like the P8Z77 V because its better then the UD5H in terms of features, and the P9X79 I have heard some really great things about. Just don't get a saber tooth, those are serious ripoffs. Also, I don't think asus boards are rubbish at all, just the support is gennerally a fair bit worse then Gigabyte.

I have had mixed results with Asus boards. We sold them where I used to work as our high-end boards. For the most part they were fine but had issues with our Corsair RAM (at least when running at 1600MHz). In general, I would stick with Gigabyte. My current board has been rock-solid and my previous gigabyte board was very stable for a good 5 years (developed a NIC issue...suspecting a surge or even wiring issue in our house)

I am fairly problem free with my board, though 2 pin headers for fans are not controlling fans via voltage, going to have to RMA for that, but they told me to contact a local repair facility, and see if i can work something out.
