Gigabyte X58A-UD5 @ LanOC Reviews

After having used the UD3R I can honestly say I'm not a fan of the slot layout but the board did become my favorite for overclocking.  Of course the UD5 and UD7 should do much better.

With X58 motherboards ranging in price from just over $150 to a crazy $600, it can be daunting to find a nice mix of features and quality without breaking the bank. Gigabyte has a range of X58 boards separated with the UDx moniker. The UD stands for Ultra Durable and the 'x' indicating the number of special features, making it easy to spot the more expensive and features filled boards. Today we are taking a look at the X58A-UD5, a mid-range 1366 socket motherboard from Gigabyte. With a price point less than half of their UD9, it has the potential to be a perfect mix of value and performance. Let’s take a look.

For the money I'd prolly push for a UD7, though the UD9 would be to dr00l for.
