My favourite Mobo is the Rampage IV Black Edition, you?

My favourite x79 motherboard is the ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition and for X99 I would say the ASUS Rampage V Extreme (though I've not used the V),
what do you think of these boards and what is your fav Mobo?

I have had two ROG mobos, I've had a Crosshair IV and still have a Crosshair V with an FX8350 in it. Both of these mobos looked great but IMHO for most users there is no real advantage over getting a ROG mobo over a standard Z97 or P97 board from the Asus range. I think less than 20% of users will use more than 20% of the features of one of these more expensive boards and for most of us, or at least me anyway, find it hard to get their CPUs past more than a moderate overclock. The best I managed was about 4.7ghz on my 3770k using a Sabretooth mobo but I most likely would have got an identical result on a Z77 mobo at half the price.

One of the things I love about these boards is not so much their over-clocking abilities, but their features, such as the OC Panel, 802.11ac WiFi and great onboard audio. Although I don't know much about the Crosshairs or how they compare to the Rampages.


P.S. Interestingly another thing that impressed me with this mobo is that it is advertised as having support for up to 64GB of DDR3 RAM, however they have just released a free bios update (801 beta) that allows the board to use up-to 128GB now
