what really is the differ between EX58-UD5 and EX58-EXTREME?
other then the huge cooling heatsink and water block...

to me it really is the same board...
but i never had a UD5 i only had a UD4P and i loved it
how big of a jump between UD4P and Extreme? OC proformance wise

I had the Extreme
Great board up to 222Bclk

Great looking and the clock for clkock eff. is exceptional ... just that DAM Brick wall :argh:

I had it maxxed 4.662 rock solid on water so I think you like it ....

I wish I still had mine for my 24/7 gamer ....

You will love this board other than if you want to use the NB cooler it is 3/8" and not the standard 1/2" .... why I do not know .....

Best of luck and I think you have enough storage .......... LOL :thumbsup:

Let em know if you run into any road blocks I have several templates for this baord

i am so excited!
4662 that is awesome!
i was talking to my best friend about that water block how all my stuff is all 1/2 and that's 3/8 lol
but i don't think i will water the system or not yet.. because my cooler is really pimped out, but if i do all i need is a nice block for the chip and i am on the go!
i have the mcp655 pump and the 360mm Rad
i am so on the go right now! it's not even funny!
my girlfriend is in China, and i am out of school for the summer, and i need to find something that's can keep my hands off other things lol:laughing:

GONNA GET SOME HW POINTS MAN!
i am hoping before end of this summer i can hit somewhere solid 850ish in HWbot

i am working on getting this system to 13TB + 1TB OS :D
