Mother or the all motherboards.
Actually I'm not Asus fan at all. I have lost 4 Asus motherboards and one video card. The Asus support is just terrible and I don't want to deal with them ever again. However, this was only one X79-motherboard available when my old tricky P9X79WS-E died. So I really didn't have any other options than buy a R4BE. And I'm glad I did. The quality of components are just great! It has even 802.11ac WiFi! However when I removed all the cooling sinks (replaced by waterblocks) I noticed the thermal pads for VRMs were wrongly placed. They were kinked badly and also the "thermal paste" on top of SB was like limestone. No idea what kind of stuff they put there but I hope they stop using it. I suggest everyone to check these out if you buy this motherboard.
