The fact is, there's no motherboard on the market that doesn't have defective units.

Random customer reviews aren't generally to be taken very seriously.
All three are good boards. I'd select one based on needed features/ports and budget.
Regarding the bad reviews, I guess that a happy customer rarely posts his opinion on a purchased product, in comparison with one experiencing issues.
The number of reviews is also not relevant.
Take into account also that some of the bad reviews might be the result of "customer induced damage" or use of components that are not compatible with the board.
 


so which one would you go for ? we already have 1 vote for number one

considering i am going with a PCI ssd and i want the board not to get hot very much easily
