Hello

Long story short I bricked my stock alienware area 51 motherboard tinkering with the BIOS because the thing is just horrible and wont read sensors/fan speeds etc right. Anyways, I'm wondering which motherboard would be best for me to change to? I want to make sure it fits my case as well. I have found the following motherboards that support X58 chipset, any recommendations would be appreciated.

-Asus P6T7 WS SuperComputer Motherboard LGA 1366 DDR3 24GB max. i7 X58

-ASUS RAMPAGE III EXTREME LGA1366 Socket 1366 MotherBoard X58

-GIGABYTE G1.Assassin LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard

-ASUS P6T DELUXE Motherboard Intel Intel X58 ICH10R LGA 1366 DDR3

-GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R V2.0 Motherboard Intel X58 Express LGA 1366/Socket B DDR3

Just found an issue, it seems the PLED/PWSW connectors are attached together so I will have no way of installing a different motherboard unless there is someway to split them up, the connector is just one piece.
