***Unofficial GA-X58A-UD5/UD7* rev 2.0* Discussion Thread

@Ryouko, its a great board, I don't think they are going to drop it in price too much, what i would do is check if newegg has price assurance, if the price drops they refund you, also if you have a microcenter next to you, they will price match.
@mlee49, its just such a terrible review, i can't believe the quality of reviews these days, such as the one at hardwareheaven that says the asrock x5 extreme 6 is better than the ud9, which was the top of the x58 round up. So asrock makes the best boards. peroid, even up against the high binned IOH on the UD9(asus doesnt even bin their IOH).

Thank you, I think I'll get it and hope for a good i7 cpu and ddr3 memory on black friday. I keep thinking I can wait till sandybridge, but I think the opening prices for that will be too much for me to even think about buying, and the prices of the i7 stuff won't go any further down. (Until next black friday 2011 I'm assuming)

Unfortunately Newegg doesn't seem to have price assurance, but I hope that the price from $274.99 to $232.47 (including their rebate) is a good buy. Going to chance it!

Edit: Now that I did buy it I am feeling buyers remorse. Argh. And now have to wait painfully for a good cpu and memory price.

One question on this board though, can this board regulate the cpu fan if it has only three pins? I have a previous gigabyte board that could do this, but don't know if this type of thing is featured on the UD5 board.
