Which i7 X58 motherboard?
Ok. My i7 920 and 6GB Dominators are coming maybe next week. Now which X58 motherboards would you guys recommend? My first choice though is P6TD Deluxe but I cannot find reviews for this mobo.
Please help me pick one.
Thanks.
EDIT: BTW, my budget is <$300

The UD5P is a great board. I think all UD boards from Gigabyte are amazing. Except the color scheme of the board.

Same here!
Given the bizarre lack of reviews on the P6TD I'm not sure what to think about it... in all likelihood it is just like a P6T Deluxe V2 with Stack Cool 3 instead of 2+ and no floppy connector, so it should be a great motherboard, but practically no reviews anywhere... what gives?
Just because of that I'm tempted to go with the Gigabyte myself even though I've been an Asus guy for over 10 years, plus it's 10 bucks cheaper where I shop, and I like Gigabyte's dual BIOS feature.

Yeah. P6TD deluxe has almost the same features with P6T deluxe v2. What I really like with this mobo is the 16+2 power phase design. I might go with this since from my experience using ASUS motherboards is the user friendly bios for OC'ing.
