What motherboard do YOU use, and why?

[Eldonko]

Still running X79 RIVE & 3960X in my personal machine quite simply because it is the best board I've ever owned.

Foxconn... everyone who owns an asus or gigabyte board owns one.

Sabertooth X79, because it gives me 5 years peace of mind, and drones depend on it.

I have good luck with Gigabyte, they have good RMA service.

Well Foxconn is who manufacturers the PCIe slots dimm slots the pcbs almost.the whole thing. Its like PSU companies using OEM Seasonics.

I got an ASUS P9X79 WS for my new (and, so far, only) build with an i7-3930 CPU (the CPU is probably overkill). Besides receiving decent reviews, I went with this board because I needed more PCI-e lanes than the Z77 boards had. Right now I'm using 25 lanes: 16x for the GPU, 8x for the HBA card (LSI 9211-8i), and 1X for the card reader combo (card reader plus three front panel USB 3.0 ports). I'm eventually going to add one or two TV tuners (I've been adding goodies one at a time to make any possible troubleshooting easier). A sound card or a USB 3.0 card are remote possibilities in the future.

Gotta love that x79 board...I want something like that, for mining and 3d benching

All it takes is money. I'm going to be eating mustard sandwiches (without the bread) for a long time.

Yeah...saving atm, paying off debts and such.

I currently use an Intel D945GCCR to be on topic lol
Runs a 7950 + 6950 (once I get a pci-e riser)

I had an ASUS mobo whose internet chip fried, had to RMA it. Then when I went intel I got an openbox gigabyte for a discount, history unknown. I guess its not even covered...eeeeekkkk
