bigball1 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 As someone that was looking at both of these boards about a month ago. I went with the M5A99X EVO as the gigabyte boards i was reading where having raid problems. Im running two raid configs and l didnt want any trouble setting them up or dropping off drives. So that made my life easy after reading that. Been working great so far, 2 bios updates. Only thing l dont like is the boot time for the board, not OS boot. Takes about 15-20sec just before it starts to load windows, other then that A1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjj226_Angel Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I personally would go with the Asus board since I am an asus fan, but for the situation the UD3 would probably be the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCRO Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Gigabyte all day. I prefer them ever since my EP45-UD3P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedosul Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Not sure about your intentions as far as overclocking go, but a lot of people have reported problems due to excessive VDroop (and lack of LLC) on the Gigabytes 990FX boards, later revisions support/have LLC to help some, but they gave the stiff to the early buyers. This saddens me because I have had nothing but good luck with all Gigabyte products, but this has pushed me back from upgrading.
