Which would you get and why?
What is this Power Phase thing the UD3R is missing along with them other features?
Has the UD7 got anything else that the UD5 has not apart from "New Hybrid Silent-Pipe 2 design provides unequalled heat conductivity"?
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (£158.99)
??? power phase
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 (£219.98)
Advanced 12+2+2 power phase design with VRD 11.1 support
Onboard Debug LED display simplifies motherboard troubleshooting
2 Gigabit Ethernet LAN with Teaming functionality
Power/reset/Clr CMOS onboard button for easily operation on the workbench
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 (£268.99)
As Above +
New Hybrid Silent-Pipe 2 design provides unequalled heat conductivity
Do the differences justify the prices and what is this "Power Phase 24+2+2 VRD 11.1 Support thing? Will that be needed for the new 6 core chips?
Basically, am I alright in getting the cheapest one and still have future upgrade options the same as the top of the range one which is £110 more?
Any future proof differences between these boards?
P.S. Whilst searching for the answer, I saw the same question asked on another website. But unanswered. It helped me post the question here.
Thanks in advance.
