Well, when you go to a support forum it's likely that you're going to see a lot of problems and, because EVGA has such a following of fanboys, everyone and their mother who has no idea what they're doing buys their products.

EVGA makes great GPUs, but I would probably not recommend their motherboards at this point in time.

I would have probably looked at Asus (again) or MSI boards (I've been wanting to try out MSI boards since I keep hearing good things about them). Honestly, I don't see myself buying another EVGA board in the future, but I have no problem sticking with this one for now because of the awesome warranty I get on it and it's actually working for me for the most part; although, down the road I may change boards and try to get rid of this Dark for cheap. /shrug

The Asus RIVE Black looks unbelievably sexy, but it's not out yet and there's no release date that I know of (or MSRP). I think EVGA rushed out the Dark so they could be everyone else to the 'refresh' of the LGA2011 market with the release of IVB-E.
