I did a small upgrade to my rig this week,I switched out the z97 Sabertooth to the Maximus Formula 7 board, plus I added 32 gigs 2133 mhz Corsair Dominator ram.The Dominators were so big I had to swap my tubing around to get them in.I also added some red braided cables for my video cards and 24 pin connector.The one thing that I don't like about this board is the usb 3.0 motherboard header is very poorly placed it should be facing out like the sata connector not straight up makes it tough to  make cables look clean. I am more and more convinced that people who design these boards are not computer builders themselves.

    VERY Clean! I really like it! How is that RAIDR working out for you? Any issues? I have considered one of these for my X79 RIVBE.
