Asus Rampage Extreme has the reputation, for many years, for being the extreme overclocker's board. Evga broke into that realm with the 680 if you remember, then gained ground with our beloved Classified 759. Seems like everyone had a classy, but then R&D team left Evga, so everyone went back to Asus. I've had a number of Asus boards in between.
Only a few extreme folks use the Dark, but not because Asus is better. There were some BIOS issues with the Dark to begin with, which didn't do anything for evga's rep. They are pretty much ironed out now. And truthfully, those were issues that a guy like you or I could care less about.
The RIVE is hit or miss. A high % of the boards are RMA'd. If you get a good sample, you're happy. Otherwise.... The Black Edition is too expensive and everyone already has a RIVE. Sham and Andre left Asus. Vince bleeds Evga, so we'll get good support there.
I already know the Dark is just as good as the Asus counterpart. The data and users on my team already verified. And TBH the mobo isn't going to be all that important in the hierarchy of critical components. It ain't gonna make a bad chip, good, or a good chip better.
