The GIGABYTE UD5 was perhaps my all-round favourite motherboard based on the X58 chipset. It offered the best of both worlds. It could serve as an excellent, everyday mainstream motherboard yet it was also a very accomplished overclocker. It looked great, had plenty of accessories, supported SLI and Crossfire and best of all had a competitive price point. Sure, there may have been better motherboards but those cost quite a lot more, much the same as GIGABYTE's UD7 and UD9 flagship motherboards. The UD5 then has always represented value for money but sacrificed little in terms of performance.
