Yah like Lsdmeasap said, UD7 runs 16x/16x fine. The NF200 doubles the bw of the native 8 lane 5GT/s bus. Also the UD7 is one of a very few boards that has it’s own PCI-E bus for USB3 and SATA6G so these devices do not pull any bw from your PCI-E slots. However, if you dont care about NF200 then you def dont need to spend the extra $ on a UD7

Nice review Lsdmeasap, I like the HD benching bit. cheers
