I know it's been a dead thread, but wanted share.
I had a similar issues when I was using this hac(i7 4790, z87x ud7 TH, 32gb ram, few SSD and few HDD).
but ever since I re install(format everything) and upgraded to Catalina, it was unstable like hell..
dropped connection every few minute, very slow.
so I followed few tips I got from here, such as moved pci-e slot but was same. and I found the solution by
disable onboard LAN (there are 2 menu that I had to disable onboard LAN). now it works fine, still not super fast but I guess my desktop is far from where the router is, so I can live with that.
hope this helps!
