bit-tech published a review of Gigabyte's GA-EX58-UD4P and DS4 mobos
Using both the boards has been an overall positive experience, although I have to say quite frustrating when we were overclocking. Gigabyte has tweaked both with a good software set that works and some nifty features, but they both just need a few loose ends tidying in places like the BIOS.Gigabyte's GA-EX58-UD4P and DS4 mobos Review
The GA-EX58-DS4 is £15 cheaper than the UD4P, but at £185 it isn't //cheap and for that money we'd upsell ourselves to the other board which has better SATA placement, eSATA options, better cooling, a better box bundle, an extra ounce of copper (if you care, we don't) and the option for Nvidia SLI as well. //If Nvidia released a relatively inexpensive ATI killer in six months, you'd be gutted that you didn't fork out //that bit more for the option of both (for the first time) on an already expensive board.
We're inclined to forgive the lukewarm overclocking of the GA-EX58-UD4P because for its price it's a great value Core i7 board for a splash of overclocking (95 percent of the glass is full), well rounded features and stable operation with six DIMMs installed. Basically, no one else sells a board as well featured for this price, so if you don't want to pay completely through the nose for a high performance upgrade, the GA-EX58-UD4P is one to get.
