never had any luck with asus motherboard.

Now I know some people disagree but MSI motherboard always worked for me.

I've had luck with my 2nd hand Sabertooth X58. It was a personal sale so it was known-good before shipping.

I have a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (Rev 1.0) and it runs and overclocks really well. Consider it an alternative (there's a Rev 2.0 with some minor improvements) if you're looking for a X58 mobo.
