The GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 is GIGABYTE's top tier ATX motherboard in their AMD Line up. Today we are going to put it through its paces and see how well it does with our AMD Phenom II X6 1055T. We are also going to throw it under some water cooling and see how far we can overclock this board! How will it do? Read on to find out!

"Throughout the testing today we compared the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 to the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula. Despite my board preferences the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 fell ever so slightly behind the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula. Although, there is one area that the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 fell behind in that is a good place to be lower: the price. Currently you can find the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 for as little as $179.99 while the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula is sitting at a heftier price of $224.85. The question that arises is, is the extra $45.00 worth the ever so slight performance increase?"
