Mobo Ideas please

Hi,

I had settled on Gigabyte EX58 UD3 or UD5 MOBo for an I7 but then reading the forums..looks like they have some issues with rebooting.

I am looking for a mobo similar price 200 mark ...any recomendations would be greatly received.

Have not decided on Xfire or SLI or GPU yet

Regards

Yea i started looking at the Asus ( there is a 200 quid model and a 170 model)....and it looked decent enough...as per usual I start looking at this and then see the rumours regarding usb3.0 coming out soon...

EVGA looks good ( will look for some reviews as well) ...

Lukext...if Asus had the UK RMA centre and you were buying the a board again would you still go for the GB?

There is reports that asus are setting up something similar thou but people are still complaing that RMAs are taking ages.

Yep seen this confirmed and that RMA's are now running at average of 3 days...

I am liking the Asus board (SLI or xfire) + SSD

Brilliant , cheers for your replies ....was looking at the bundle deal on OC for the 920 + ud5 ...and very tempted but there are some bits that I want to change (like the Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) 1866MHz Dominator Memory ) and the fan ..

yea agree the rep can say one thing ..and generally the forums will tell the truth..
