ASUS X79 Sabretooth Motherboard Review

Motherboards/Intel S2011 by leeghoofd @ 2012-02-17

The ASUS Sabretooth lineup always has been part of a little controversy. Some had no idea why the TUF series ever had to be made. Claiming high Durability and Reliability. So the other ASUS boards were inferior then in build quality ? Wouldn't they survive the torture test that the Sabretooth series do ? I've had the Sandybridge P67 version for internal testing and must say that it was a joy to work with. Even when benching with LN2, the board remained hassle free. It was no surprise that with the launch of Sandy Bridge-E another Sabretooth would appear on the market. Today we are gonna have a look at the latest addition to the TUF series : The Sabretooth X79.

UEFI Screens Contd.

The first page of bios screens might have scared the faint hearted, but luckily the included algorythms are pretty versatile and most setings can be left on auto. However let's continue with the CPU tab. If you own the 3930K or 3960X boosting performance is easy. Just up the cpu multiplier, adjust Vcore and if needed adjust the loadline setting and you are good to go. With the ASUS boards you have to leave the Turbo feature on when overclocking. Most SB-E CPU's we have tested will do at least 4500mhz at 1.35Vcore.
