i am interested in which one is better for my build, i am having an FX-8350 and wondering which one to buy...GA-990fx-ud5 vs asus sabertooth 990fx ??? interested in sli or crossfire later on. i know i can go with ud3 that is cheaper but i dont mind the 20 Euro.

so i 've heard tha Gigabyte boards are the best but i have owned an Asus and it was good too.There is no real difference in the hardware BUT utilities,overclocking and software difference? ..so..help me pls:)

Asus:
Has one more 8x slot instead of another 4x slot on the gigabyte one
Has two more usb 2.0 ports than the gigabyte
5 year warranty compared to 3 years on the gigabyte one.

Gigabyte:
Has two more sata 6gb/s ports compared to two 3gb/s ports on the Asus
Has two 6gb/s esata ports compared to two 3gb/s ports on the Asus

The two motherboards are very similar. I think I would go with the Asus motherboard because on Newegg 17% of people gave the gigabyte motherboard 0 eggs, and 13% of people gave the Asus motherboard 0 eggs.

I agree, I think Gigabyte's best board is the UD3, which is what I have, but I would probably buy the Sabertooth, since many people have had great overclocking experiences with them, and ASUS is one of the best mobo brands.
