Hi there,

Just wondering if the UD5 is more roomy for mounting more than 2 gpus than the Gaming 5 is. Also, other than Wifi (which I don't need) and the post code LED, are there other benefits that would make the UD5 preferable?

From photos online, the UD5 appears to be almost identical in layout to the Gaming 5, including the proximity of the bottom PCI-E slot to the other small motherboard connectors...

Thanks very much!

Well both motherboards has about the same expansion slots layout, so card spacing will be the same.
Other than the differences you mentioned, the UD5 has one extra network port, which is pretty handy.

A more thorough comparison can be found here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/comparison/list.aspx?c...
Also note that the UD5 is E-ATX, the Gaming 5 is ATX.

I'd go for the UD5 between those two.
