GA-X58-USB3 or UD3R!!! NEED HELP ASAP!!!

[trevtastick]

Done a couple quick searches... USB3 is on sale, and I'm considering ordering it over UD3R.

Do we have 100% comparability with the USB3 board, or should I just suck it up and spend the extra $40 for the UD3R?

My main concern is SLEEP! Audio is being worked out AFAIK (USB3) board.

See viewtopic.php?f=22&t=9427 .

In short, the Realteck ALC892 Audio might give you problems.

Yeah, thats a thread I came across. I'm more concerned about sleep (as I need it to function).

Anyone know if sleep works, and any other functions that may not work correctly?

how much $$$ difference btw the USB3 and UD3R? is it worth your time troubleshooting the USB3 if there are more wins reported with the UD3R?

My USB3 hacintosh doesn't want to wakeup if I put it to sleep.
Instructions for UD3R are well documented. Not the same for USB3. The later is still being worked on. But the information is out there, just not put together and finalized. Sleep issue is the only one I came across until now but will have see how it fares.

Thanks for the reply. I see you got my PM

I'm going with the UD3R as it is very well documented. I will just have to save a little extra and purchase it on my next run to MicroCenter. Will most likely pick up another 4GB set so I have 12GB Triple Channel as well.

Now... to find a compatible DVD Burner that won't keep it from sleeping...
