Any of the ASUS Z87 boards that offer more than 2 native Intel USB 3.0 ports?

Have had some stability issues with the third party USB 3.0 controller/ports on my Asus P8P67 board and wonder whether any of the Z87 boards offer more than 2 native Intel USB 3.0 ports?

Seems most of them have only 2 native Intel ports on the back while the others are third party.

Any thoughts? Should one worry? Are the newer third party controllers more stable?

Cheers,
Philip

The Asmedia controller is not good.

Z87 offers 6 native USB3 ports. It would be weird for Asus not to use those first.

But else buy another brand, Asus got terrible RMA rep.

The Maximus VI Hero has 4 USB 3.0 ports on the rear IO panel and 2 more available through a connector on the motherboard. The bracket to use it if your case does not have the provision for it does not come with the board though.
