No working link is there. When I put the cursor over the word "email", all it brings up is a Blackberry advertisement. Perhaps write out the URL?

Looks like the boards are really close in performance. I normally use all of the brands in the article except evga for Intel motherboards in my builds. I've noticed at my local computer shop that Asus motherboards are usually a fair bit more expensive than competitors and usually have "features" which either don't work too well, I don't need or mess up the reliability of the board (due to software issues mostly), so I tend not to use them all that much anymore unless they are on sale.

Really? I thought Asus boards were rated the best. Is there a new leader?

Asus boards are pretty good (especially from customer service point of view), but the board quality isn't much better than Gigabyte or MSI if it is better and customer service doesn't matter to me much since I handle the warranty through my local computer store. I've also been reading that Asus is spinning off their motherboard manufacturing and may offsource to ECS which would be very bad if they do; was reading this on SemiAccurate, but more often than not they are accurate so I tend to follow their reporting.
