Hello,
Currently I'm building an i7 build. I got most of my parts already and was wondering which motherboard would be best for overclock the i7-930 to 4Ghz atleast (Heatsink: Noctua nh-UD14). So i narrowed it down to 2 motherboards Asus P6X58D-E vs Gigabyte X58A-UD3R. I've read plenty of reviews saying these 2 boards are quite close in comparison in terms of pricing and features they bring. Any of you guys have first experience with these boards in terms of overclocking, reliability, stability etc. Also, I heard the Gigabyte X58A-UD3R makes this buzzing noise around the CPU and wasn't sure if that happens to all their boards.
If you guys are wondering I'll be using G.Skill 6GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24 Ram if that matters.
Thanks!
