Where the 5 bit comes in I am not sure but looking at the board's specification it becomes clear that the UD'5' is a higher specified board than both the UD3 and DS4 stable mates. In fact, it appears to be very much akin to the range topping Extreme model save for the extravagant cooling on the chipset, yet costs some £30 less than Gigabytes flagship model. This may well appeal to those who want the best possible performance yet don't wish to have excessive trimmings, least of all pay for them. That said though, as this is an i7compatible motherboard, it has a price tag to match, weighing in at a little under £220, it isn't the exactly the bargain basement we had hoped for but it is the cheapest of the trio we have on test today.
