UD5 has better heatsinks.


/e It's just like ASRock the THREE board is the budget board, the 4 is the lowest decent board. Gigabyte doesn't have a four.

ah that makes sense

I also found this one: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-990FX-6Gbps-Motherboards-GA-990FX-Gaming/dp/B019C3S2CS/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1461870931&sr=1-3&keywords=AM3%2B+Motherboard&refinements=p_36%3A1253506011

but reading a review it says it has no PCI slots, what does that mean? I currently have a R9 270x (hello stone age) but may upgrade in the near future to a 300 series, but the 270 works fine for me

is that a problem? :S

No, but I'd still get the UD5

/e PCIe Gen2 x4

Hmmm, I do like the UD5 but it only supports up to 1600 for ram, whereas mine is 1866 :/

is there any good mobos under 200 or so that support that high of ram for AM3+?

sell ur cpu, buy i5/mobo/ddr4 ram
waste of money spending ~200 on a new mobo

270x will work with intel yes?

The UD5 supports 1866 RAM

/e Yeah, vid card doesn't care what CPU you have.



/ee Far as I know, all AM3+ motherboards, will take 1866Mhz RAM.

I dont play graphical intensive games, just like guild wars and league and such
