I hope I win because I have the worst luck in the world atm.
My first gigabyte z68 board had the boot loop problem and kept turning itself off. I tried everything, changing ram and PSU which cost a fortune.
My second board, an asus z68 board worked perfectly for a few weeks, then the sound stopped working. It wouldn't recognise i'd plugged speakers in.
Changed back to my gigabyte board for a while as a bios update seemed to fix it, so i was happy for a while... until i pressed the reset button and it never worked again. Stuck in a constant boot loop, will have to sort out an RMA.
Third board, msi z68 G3 bought from the rainforest place. They sent me the B3 version instead of the G3 version which I could live with. So I installed it, it was dead. Pressed the power button a few times, finally it came on... and would not post.
Fourth board is another MSI coming today. Please work.
