Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[burningrave101]

Is there any reason at all to go with the EX58 Extreme over the UD5 if your not watercooling the NB? The Extreme model doesn't overclock any better or offer any extra perks outside of the NB cooler does it?

Also, what does the NB cooler look like on the Gigabyte Extreme if you don't use the huge addon that goes in the first expansion slot? Do you just use the watercooling block on there and it serves the purpose even without watercooling it? Every review I've looked at either has the big expansion slot heatsink installed in the picture or it just has the waterblock.
