P55M-GD45 or wait for UD4?

I have a Gigabyte P55M-UD4 on order but its currently backordered. There is no estimate on time, so it could be 1 week or 2 months for all I know before they even send it my way.

I was suggested 2 motherboards instead that are currently in stock: MSI P55M-GD45 or Gigabyte H57M-USB3.

Both seem ok, but for my setup (in sig), I just don't know if these boards would solid enough to make a reliable platform for some OC.

Should I wait for the backordered UD4, or get one of the replacements?

Hey D...I'd love to see a pic of your rig (I like mATX builds).

Thanks, the gene is $220 in canada

I'm missing the mobo to complete my rig (in sig), but I can take a picture of the parts...

eVGA also pricey up there?
The H57M-USB3 is a great board...good OCing

(you should fill out the location field in your profile so we know where you're from )

Would you say its a solid board to OC my i7? / no foxconn socket?

The whole Foxconn thing got blown way out of proportion...don't worry about that

Yes, it's a solid board

I'll see if my vendor can order EVGA, the high-end mAXT offering looks nice..

So should I order some heatsinks for the H57M-USB3's mosfets? It seems to have 6+1 phases or 7 phases?
