Knock on wood, I've had good luck with the Aorus Master from Gigabyte. The only thing I'm missing support for (and not a dealbreaker) is S/PDIF for digital audio out on Linux. I had no install issues. It ran rock solid under several days of memtest86 and prime95, the latter on both Windows and Linux. My only "complaint" is that it cannot maintain full turbo indefinitely on even a beefy air cooling setup in a big case with massive airflow. I have 7x140mm fans in the case and on the cooler. The case maintains ambient temperature, except for the (short) stream of air from the CPU cooler to the rear exhaust. Under sustained synthetic load, the CPU will run at >4.4GHz all-core until the heat sink is saturated (usually ~10 minutes), and then slowly stabilize down to a 3.9GHz-4.1GHz range for all cores and stay there. An eventual project will be a water cooling loop with much radiator surface area.
