TBH, I'm not sure how much good these anecdotes do. I had bad experiences with all major brands; a high quality & expensive ASUS motherboard was the worst, even though top ASUS is considered the safest choice in circles I tend to spend time in — if you have the money (it caught fire in the middle of light code editing for no reason I could establish after five years of excellent work).

Anyway, I now stick with ASRock. This will now attract anecdotes from users who have run into problems with them, and will describe at length how crappy their products are. Works with literally any brand, so I try not to mention any unless prodded.
