I am looking for high end gaming motherboard, anything other than ASUS , I've had ASUS rampage iv extreme and i've had nothing but troubles with this board, finally it died after 11 months of usage. I recently bought ASUS Rampage IV Black and it was already died on arrival.

Any suggestion what to go for? Here is my specs are:

i7-3930K
4x4GB Corsair DDR3
2x 512GB Crucial SSD
2x GTX TITAN SuperClocked 6GB GDDR5
 
I can only give limited feedback based on my configuration.

I have the MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) that I received from the Intel Retail Edge program in exchange for chips. i7-3930K, 4x4GB Corsair DDR3 1600, 1x Samsung 128GB 830, 1x Samsung 256GB 830, 1x Samsung 1TB F3, MSI Lightning GTX680, Asus Xonar DGX, Prolimatech Megahalem with a push/pull Scythe GT 1,850s. This board isn't high end like you describe but it has been solid as rock since the day I flipped the switch. The UEFI interface is alright, a little jumpy with the mouse interface and non intuitive in some places but once it is dialed in, it doesn't budge. Non surprisingly it pegs the limits of the ssd's and I haven't found any other fault of the board yet.
