Asus board look like a good clocker board! I avoid Gigabyte myself for some reason: poor cold boot issues, no GPU on board support, poor USB3.0 not recognising on bootup
Z68 BLOWOUT! VERY LIMITED DEALS!

TBH all four boards are very good Z68 boards and have all have their advantages/disadvantages.
Personally I would be going for the UD5.

I just hope they still don't have the Realtek sound issues any more. Will all of these boards will fit in my Lian Li midi tower case?
Bought my z68ap-d3 last week. Wish it was on offer thenlook in the motherboard section for a list of issues ontop of the possibility of it arriving with bent/missing pins(which according to the rma guy is a lie created by the buyers to get their money back/replacement board, and can only have been caused by mistreatment on the buyers part).
tho I'm sure the bent pin issue can happen with the other brands(I read in my googling that the bent in issue is a common one with the skt1155 boards) as well but the responce will be the same.
LOL - GET OVER IT DUDE!
Feature and specs wise the ASRock Extreme 4 Gen 3 is unbeatable for its price. For overclocking the built in profiles are easy enough to use - just don't expect to get 'extreme' overclocking levels like 5Ghz on a 2700k though! (You won't get that on any of the other boards here either - need to spend £300+ to get them sort of clocks).
Theres many a happy ASRock user - don't let one guys whining about poor service / results put you off lol
I'm gonna go with an MSI board I think, one of the MSI Z68A-GD55-G3. They're pretty similar by all accounts and on offer until next week rather than just tonight.
Having noticed that everyone is amazed by the UD5...would I be better off with that than the MSI GD55?

have you looked at the extre4 gen3 thread in the motherboard section? there's quite a few people complaining about issues with the board.
oh and another example of the bent/missing pin example http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18335812
and try googling, there's many a unhappy bent/missing pin customer.
oh and you think its fine for cs people to call customers liars?
