Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Motherboard Review

• PC Perspective:
  
  

  "The UD5P is really a tremendous product in many ways. The layout is very good, the build quality is excellent, the performance is right where it should be, and the overclocking features have made this a favorite of many enthusiasts. This is also the basis for a lot of the extreme overclocking with LN2 and now Helium, and the results from these boards have been outstanding (I believe it holds the world record still for the highest Phenom II overclock).
  
  The one big thing that really still sticks out for me with this board is the 10 SATA ports. When looking at competing products like the Asus M4A79T, which only feature 5 internal SATA connectors and the single eSATA, it is amazing how much more flexibility that gives a user. For myself, I have 2 x Hard Drives and 2 x Optical drives in my main machine, but if I wanted to venture into RAID territory or add another pair of drives, I would be out of luck with the Asus board without some re-wiring from outside of the case."

  "While everyone is pushing for Intel with their enthusiast level platforms, AMD still has a very good place for a more budget conscious CPU with a good kick and it’s good to see that good quality boards are still coming out consistently for them. GIGABYTE has always been a good AMD partner and the 790FXT is another one of their long running high quality boards.
  
  The features of the board are extremely impressive, as is the performance. Overclocking on AMD needs a bit more tweaking, but we are seeing things getting better with their upcoming CPUs.
  
  In all, this board is a great choice for the price."
