I made a purchase from Cyberpowerpc. I bought a Gigabyte X99 SLI and after reading reviews I heard that a bunch of these MOBOs have problems with the bios and end up dying. I'm not sure how big of a problem this is but I seem to hear it alot with this motherboard. I've heard good things about ASUS X99 motherboards being better. I need to know which motherboard will not die or have problems for me most likely, or which motherboard will get the most out of my build may be the better choice of words or if I should stick with what I have. Please forgive me for asking but I have no idea what all the letters and number stand for on all the MOBO names and i'm not sure which fits best with my build. Image PS should I get different case fans from the default ones?

my build was

CARE1: Ultra Enhanced Packaging Solution - Protect Your Dream System During Transit
CAS: CyberPowerPC X-Titan 100 MID-Tower Gaming Case w/ Side-Window Panel
CPU: Intel® Core™ Processor i7-6850K Six-Core 3.60GHz 15MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011-V3
CS_FAN: Default case fans
FAN: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler w/ PWM fan - Efficient Cooling Performance
HDD: 512GB SanDisk X400 SSD + 4TB SATA III Hard Drive Combo
MEMORY: 32GB (8GBx4) DDR4/2800MHz Quad Channel Memory [-94] (ADATA XPG Z1)
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE X99-SLI ATX w/ Intel GbE LAN, 4x Gen3 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 1x M.2 PCIe & SATA III, 10x SATA 6Gb/s
OS: Windows 7 Professional [+31] (64-bit Edition)
OVERCLOCK: Extreme OC (Extreme Overclock 15% or more)
POWERSUPPLY: 1,000 Watts - Corsair RMx RM1000X 80 PLUS Gold certified Fully Modular Ultra Quiet Power Supply
PRO_WIRING: Professional Wiring for All WIRING Inside The System Chassis - Minimize Cable Exposure, Maximize Airflow in Your System
VIDEO: GeForce® GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X (Pascal)[VR Ready] (Single Card)
And I was thinking of switching to one of these ASUS boards if they work better with my build, either

ASUS X99-A II ATX w/ RGB, USB 3.1 Type-C, Intel GbE LAN, 4x Gen3 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 1x M.2 PCIe & SATA III or U.2 port, (All Venom OC Certified) (None)

ASUS X99-A/U3.1 ATX W/ Intel GbE LAN, 4x Gen3 PCIe x16, 2x PCIe x1, 1x M.2 PCIe, 8x SATA 6Gb/s, (All Venom OC Certified)

ASUS X99-E ATX w/ USB 3.1 Type-C, Intel GbE LAN, 3x Gen3 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 1x M.2 PCIe & SATA III or U.2 port, (All Venom OC Certified)

Please let me know which one works best for me.

Hi, and thank you for posting here.
I would want to say that this is a nice build, but I don't understand why the 1kWatt power supply and the cheap low quality case.
I mean I have a 450w with a 970 & 4670k/hyper212 evo and works perfect, all in a fractal design r5.
I think first of all u should consider NOT buying that big power supply, you can easily find a 650W Plat from corsair or another builder and with the money that you have from that part you can use it to buy a new and better Case.

I trust Gigabyte and their products, and I belive it will not die on you as fast as you think it will do, but lets say you don't belive me and you still want an answer, You should pick ASUS X99-A II ATX w/ RGB , cause RGB and flashing lights #yolo ( all the 3 names u have there are kinda the same, but the first one has LED RGB lights )

Hope it helped, if you have any other questions, I will try my best to respond as quickly as I can, have a nice day ^_^
