Alright guys, I'm looking to step up from my M5a97 to a nice powerful board. One that I can get this 8140 up to maybe 4.6-4.9 with. I've been wondering between the Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3 & the UD5. The difference I see is better aesthetics to my eye on the UD5, more pci-e slots that I won't use and a little better of a heatsink, it appears to actually cover the fets where as the UD3 does not. My question is is it worth it to get the UD5 if I'm not going for outstanding clocks like 5.5Ghz and what not? The UD3 will be suitable for my needs right?
Any advice or information would be great! :thup:
