so this board EVGA x79 dark is ready for haswell-e with this diciture right?

Nope for Haswell-E is a new Chipset needed the X99.

there is one haswell for x79?

 
ok but for gaming and overclock is a good solution

I definitely vote for the Dark.  The RIVE Black is also a great board, with us you get great customer service, from what I hear there is a nifty BIOS guide for the Dark but in general it is a solid board, and I have seen nothing to complain about, plus there is an aftermarket waterblock set that works pretty well too.  
Board sets up easy, works great with my 4930k, got a LOT of hardware on it, and it just works, plain and simple.

Definitely the Dark.....biggest reason is that ASUS warranty/tech support is absolute trash.

ok thanxs for the hints i go for the dark ;)

 
It looks way better too!

Great choice Balthazar73... I'm sure you will be happy with the board, and EVGA is a top notch company.
 
@dustingg:  That looks very sexy...
 

Thanks man!
 
I'll adding more pics to my photo bucket once I get some better day light in that room.

Well, I cannot speak for other peoples experiences, but I have no complaints with my Dark.  4930k, lots of drives, XMP picked up my 32gb kit, its been on 24/7 for a few weeks, ran some benches and stress tests, plain and simple, it just works.
Only **SLIGHT** oddity I saw, was with my camera (Nikon DSLR), I could not read the memory card from the USB port on my Razer BlackWidow, but it worked fine on the USB port on the mobo.  I ONLY associate this with this build as it worked 2 months ago on my X58.  But no problems with my 770's, or my X-Fi or anything else.
 
Is the board 100% perfect, of course not, nothing is, but I have zero buyers remorse for this board, it works great.  Nothing against the RIVE either, it's an excellent product, but with the Dark, you have our support.

Go on Newegg and read the reviews of the RIVE. Those will give you an idea as to what ASUS tech support is like. I literally lol'd at some of them so hard. 

^^^^^
Newegg sometimes has promo codes. I bought my EVGA X79 Dark with a $15 off Promo code back in August last year. That's not as good as 10%, but it was a good deal for me at the time since the X79 Dark was just released. I paid full price for my RIVBE though...

Classy post. No doubt EVGA has great support... and a very helpful community here. I also feel the same way for both boards. Both are excellent products. I spent a lot more for my RIVBE... but I have no regrets with my switch from the X79 Dark to the RIVBE. It's been rock solid with my OC... and has the preferred features I want in a motherboard. My preferences are minor and doesn't take anything away from the X79 Dark. You can't go wrong with either.

Also had a riot reading some of the Asus reviews on Newegg.  This review for the Asus X79 Deluxe scores pretty high!  
  
"Cons: No such thing as ASUS support. Do not be fooled by the many "manufacturer" responses to complaints and problems you see here. Support does not exist. ASUS does not even have a record of the BIOS that is on the board let alone information if you can update it. The ONLY information and ability to support Win 8.1 x64 is on the box.  The Intel Rapid storage technology configuration bios setup is not accessible but does exist. Which is why the Marevell SATA ports are not configurable.  Other Thoughts: With the 0506 10/23/2013 bios version delivered on the board it was even difficult to get Win7 installed on the box. With or without secure boot.  Search the web and you will see if you do find support they will only rma with a refurbed product. No troubleshooting or verifiability available on any ASUS product.  There is no information in the manual. A few disclaimers and a picture of the bios. That is it. the support information included is invalid and leads to nowhere.  You have been warned."
 
No surprise you can find a pile of Asus MB between the Cuisinart 2 slice toasters and Nature's Sleep Memory foam mattresses at TigerDirect.  The ultimate ROG bundle, a toaster, a mattress and an RIVE MB.

Pretty funny going by Newegg reviews considering evga had there's wiped for the first two years of their x79's, lol. Seriously.

Heard this one before and have yet to see proof..

Its hot in here I said its hot in here your RIVE product must be in the atmosphere.  Enthusiast know EVGA make way cooler products! Burr the X79 Dark is cold in here there must be some LN2 in the atmosphere oooeeoo ice ice.

I usually shop at the Toronto GTA locations.  They have great prices on CPU, or SSD but most of the enthusiast parts I am shopping for they don't carry.

Ah, yeah. I work at the only retail location that has access to their online warehouse. So we can pull 98% of the enthusiast parts off the website, into our retail environment. It's epic. I love my job.  But yes, we do have mattresses and houseware items. LOL.
