Hi
My asus rampage has just stoped working. I have
tried new psu and no luck so I need a new motherboard
that supports a 4930k, but there seems to no new x79 boards about and I can't find a x99 that supports it.
Last one of those I tried need a BIOS update before it would take an ivybridge-e, but it's possible to do that via the USB flash disk BIOS update mechanism.
It's actually a very good board.
You're between a rock and a hard place at the moment as decently priced X79 motherboards are generally hard to come by. You don't have enough posts to have had access to the Members Market (last couple Formula's in there have gone for~ £80) and the last Rampage I saw on the bay was going for well over £200! I did manage to pick up a Rampage Extreme a few months ago from the bay for £130 so you could get lucky.
Unless you can get yours repaired (check to see if you're outside the 3 year warranty) or find one going relatively cheaply then you may be forced to sell the 4930 and move to X99. Best of luck!
