Motherboard suggestion for i7-2700k

Hi guys, just got my hands on an i7-2700k processor. I'm looking for a high end motherboard. Which one would you recommend for a hassle free setup? Price is not a concern. Thanks

Any Gigabyte 7 series board will do. Asus/MSI/ASRock all require BIOS patch or kernel patch.

Just double check the audio & network to make sure it is compatible - usually Realtek

Thanks much! I found out that my ASUS Z77 Saberooth is compatible and I tried installing 10.10 with great success except for one weird bug. I tried searching for an answer but I couldn't find one. When I power on the rig(cold boot), the screen goes blank after the apple logo. If I restart, the system boots into the login screen with no issues. This issue appears only during cold boot and I tried all the bootflags but the issue still persists. Any ideas as to how to six this?
