These are the ones I was looking at:
Rampage IV Gene X79 SLi X79 FTE X79 CLASSIFIED ECS X79R X79 UP4 X79 ASROCK FATAL1TY X79 EXTREME 6 MSI X79 GD45
 
I'm fighting with UP4 right now and so far it's a big no. Board refuses any higher memory settings than 1866 with G.Skill/Samsung based memory ( 2133 RipjawsZ kit ). There is also no BIOS update for couple of months ( last official from July last year ). It's reading wrong XMP and it's sometimes freezing when I change too many options in BIOS and want to reboot. Except that , all is fine ;)
