I have an i7-950 CPU on the way and am wondering whet to put it into. I'm thinking of an Asus P6X58D-E. Any thoughts- any issues with this board, any better boards to invest in at this time? This is my first LGA 1366 system.Any advice or comments would be much appreciated.Thanks, Bruce.

Here's a few that I recommend:Asus P6X58D-EAsus P6X58D PremiumAsus Sabertooth X58Gigabyte UD5All EVGA boardsAll Asus Gamers Republic Series

Thanks Chris. Bruce.

I have the X58A-UD3R and its very good.

Thanks Andy, I'll look at that too, I currently have a GB LGA775 board and am happy with it.Bruce.

UD3R isn't all that good. It lacks certain features that other boards, such as the asus, lack. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would go with the UD5...It's $70 more than the 3R but has a few more nifty features:Other than better chipset and component cooling, the different audio controller and the rear I/O panel headers...Advanced 12+2+2 power phase design with VRD 11.1 supportOnboard Debug LED display simplifies motherboard troubleshooting2 Gigabit Ethernet LAN with Teaming functionalityPower/reset/Clr CMOS onboard button for easily operation on the workbench

And it has 6 DIMM slots instead of 4.

Thanks Ryan and Chris. Appreciate the info.Bruce.

I did the same research when I made my "Q1 2011" post for the new system I'd like to get.Not saying the UD3R is a bad board ( a few hardware/overclock records have been won by it, but more from their UD5), but if I were getting a nice system I'd spend the extra cash to get the UD5... imho.
