Asus P6TD Deluxe vs Asus P6X58D Premium vs Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7

I need a new mobo as I sprung a leak and damaged my current P6T Deluxe V2 when installing my new gtx 480.

I have left my mobo to dry over night and it can now get into the bios but its all very slow to respond, so I guess the leak has done it no good.

I want to buy a replacement mobo today and I am torn between these three mobos. I have always bought Asus mobos and really like my current P6T Deluxe so I am leaning towards the Asus mobos but I have heard good things about the UD7, but it is the most expensive out of the three.

I have just been doing a bit of reading and the P6X58D gets allot of praise. So far its at the top of my list.

I've got a P6TD Deluxe and it's been excellent, but the P6X58D has some newer features and gets lots of good comments so would be my number one choice at present.

Well, firstly, depending your requirements I'd suggest the P6X58D-E of those 3.

The UD7 was also reviewed at Bit-Tech.

Cheers for the posts. I have dried out my mobo and it seems to be ok now.

If it dies the Asus P6X58D is at the top of my list. Cheers for the links -VK-.

I've been so tempted to try water cooling but then I see the odd post where leaks have happened (and not been lucky with drying out) and the temptation subsides - one day perhaps
