Been using Gigabyte boards for the last 4 years or so, well only on my second board now and apart from some BIOS issues that seem to have been resolved with a flash to the latest version haven't really had any issues with Gigabyte.
 
Generally an Asus fan but I've had the pleasure of building a machine with an ASRock board for my bro just recently...what a pleasure! Only hassles were getting it to pick up the 3TB drive. Will definitely consider one for my next build in a few months time!

ASUS, then Gigabyte... Burned myself with MSI and Asrock before, still haven't recovered :)

I actually bought an MSI GPU this year, which is a big step for me :) Better not let me down!

Please elaborate what happened... Might need to rethink about using Asrock for Haswell build :cry:
 
I used to be a Gigabyte man, but their prices got a bit high, moved to Asus and it been mostly smooth sailing. The only exception would be the ASUS Rampage II GENE, soooooo unreliable. Oh, Intel make solid boards, just a bit boring
 
Definitely go with gigabyte. . No problems thus far z77m-D3H. .I will not trust an intel motherboard. . In my experience during a surge they first in line to get fried
 
I'm a big MSI fan! Used their mobos and GPUs throughout the years. AsRock will follow for their value for money, and then Gigabyte and Asus.
 
Had great support with MSI mobos, till AsRock come to the party with the Intel 77 Family. Since then no issue and enjoy overclocking the hell out of my CPU..
 
Asus.

I wouldn't consider myself particularly brand-loyal, but Asus has great support, they have excellent manufacturing quality (the good stuff) and they've proven themselves to be a very reliable brand.

I'm also fond of Gigabyte and, from a marketing perspective, EVGA.

Personally, I would never buy ASRock or MSI. ASRock because it always makes me think of a poor man's Asus (that's the perspective, at least) and MSI because there isn't a worse manufacturer/brand in existence--rubbish support, rubbish manufacturer.
 
Asus.

Had a P5E3 Deluxe for 4 years without a single issue. Now have the Sabertooth Z77 (5 year warranty ) which didn't like my old VGA card, but since I installed the 670, I haven't had a single hassle. And it looks AAWWESSOOMMEE!

ASRock close second though. Really good looking boards with excellent build quality.
 
I have for most my life been using Gigabyte boards, but dahm . Asus takes the cake. They make the most solid hardware in my opinion. I have been reading up a lot about Asrock and they seem quite promising too :)
 
I recently built a new pc and decided to go for the Intel Extreme board Dz77Ga-70k.
I think it offers a lot of value for money but I still prefer my Gigabyte boards!
 
Had to vote Gigabyte cause they're the only boards I've really used.

Looking to upgrade in the next month or two and have been eying out the ASRock boards. Still trying to make up my mind, will probably go ASRock just to try out another brand.
