ASUS Z97 A here, I've been using it for about 4 months now. Bought it just for the faint gold colour on the heatsinks so it would match my PSU's yellow coloured text & GPU's yellow/orange fan shroud design.
Don't think I would buy it again, pretty expensive here and I would like to try other colour schemes too.
Idk why did I buy blue coloured RAM, regret doing that now =X
