When I checked rates a year ago or so, they were over 10% while ASUS was under 2%. Appears they must have had some problems as they have always been solid.
From 2012 to 2014, I went through FOUR Asus boards, two of which were DOA.

I have rackmounted server cases for my studio builds. Do you have any idea how much of a PITA putting together a PC in those constraints (let alone, installing six hard drives) it is, only to find out the board doesn't work?

I'm not the only one, either. All of the PC companies that were building high end music and video editing workstations stopped using Asus as well.

I'm glad you've had good luck but there's no way I'm recommending an Asus board to anyone.
