X58-UD5 or Rampage III Extreme

Hi,

I have X58-UD5 and Rampage III Extreme. But Rampage III Extreme has some problems on it and I sent it to technical service. They will charge me 110$ if I accept. But X58-UD5 is working now. I will use it with Intel 990X. Should I pay 110$ and use Rampage III Extreme or should I use X58-UD5? I will OC it to 4.5 GHZ. Also I will use OCZ GOLD 1600 CL8 with it and Nvidia 690.

Get the R3E back and use it as a conversation piece on the coffee table -- $110, are they nuts? The UD5 will do just fine.

Keep the 990x on the UD5 and don't pay the $110 for the R3E. You're getting the same OC anyway so why not save some money.

One of X58-UD5 user told that: "I really didnt like my old UD5. Vdroop was intense. It had a bit of a finicky bios.. I hate those boot loops :/"

Additional Comment:

What do you think about it?

While I think the UD5 and the X58-Extreme from Gigabyte are capable boards for X58. I think the two boards that really separated themselves were the Classy and the R3E
