Recommended Trustworthy Motherboard?

[_TSND_]

First off, I would normally not ask a question such as this but I am just so fed up looking for motherboards. I want an ATX, LGA1151,Z170 motherboard with at least 3 headers for case fans. I have looked at mobos such as: MAXIMUS VIII HERO, ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING,MSI Gaming Z170A KRAIT GAMING, MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M5 ect. Each time I do, I look at the reviews and there are many reports of bios not working, DOA boards, boards dying after one use, or some other problem. All I want is a motherboard the is reliable. I don't want to order it just to encounter many problems. I initially wanted a $100-$120 motherboard but after seeing all the negative reviews, I will pay more (see Maximus VIII Hero) as long as it actually works.
Maybe I am just paranoid and I am letting the select few negative reviews per mobo get to me(If you think I am, please let me know), but I just really need someone else's thoughts. Thanks in advance to anyone who actually does respond to this.

GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 would be a very good choice and has 3 system fan headers.

That's because most people that review are usually ones that have issues , I own 2 HERO boards and they are incredible.

I have the X99 version of this board and it's held up really nicely so far. There's always hangups with some boards, but the quality is there and Gigabyte has been good to me with support in the past so even if something goes wrong at least you know you're not left to hang.

Do note though, that a majority of motherboards don't throttle 3-pin fans off the sysfans on the board. So you'll be running those fans at full speed 100% of the time. Easiest fix is to get a pwm hub(shown below) and run all your headers to that and connect that to your CPUFAN pins. That way you can control all your fans off of that header and they can ramp respectively. If not, it has 3 sysfan slots.

First of all, when you read all the reviews remember that people who buy these boards and have no problems, might, maybe 1 in 10, go on the site and give a positive review. But I guarantee you every single person who has any problem at all, even if the problem was something they in fact caused, is going to write a negative review (likely half of the negative reviews made I wager are the end users fault).
That being said, ASUS and GIGABYTE are both very reputable companies who have been building quality products for a long time. They do not turn out junk. MSI in my opinion has been a little off from time to time, but I believe they turn out solid products today. There is always a chance to get a board with something wrong, especially if you are buying recently released products. But I would buy either of these makers and not worry about it. I mean, if you are not going to buy from these people, who really does that leave you with? These are the major players in the field today.
