I7-930, UD3R or P6T?

[strife025]

I've used both Asus and Gigabyte in the past, and narrowed it down to these boards for this gen.

Looking for advice on which to choose.

Gigabyte UD3R:

Asus P6T
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131359&cm_re=asus_p6t-_-13-131-359-_-Product

Both pretty much the same price. Or if anyone thinks a board around that price is better feel free to let me know?

Also on other question, the P6T deluxe shows it supports DDR3-1600(OC'd) but the P6T doesn't show 1600 as supported in the description.. neither does the UD3R.

The ram I was planning on getting was the Corsair 6GB triple channel 1600 ram. Will both of these boards still support this ram or do I need to drop the ram or get the more expensive mobo?

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum

If u don't want use Crossfire, go with the UD3R is a better mobo.
