ASUS HAS ANNOUNCED its second board in the TUF series, the Sabertooth X58 which according to the press release is an extra reliable board that can handle heavy duty tasks. We won't read too much into that, but the previous TUF board, the Sabertooth 55i had some interesting features that have been rolled over to the Sabertooth X58.

One of the most – and at the same time least – notable features of this board is the CeraM!X coated heasinks. They stand out because they look unusual rather than the ceramic coating being something you can spot just by looking at the board. The coating is meant to increase the thermal dissipation area of the heatsinks, although we're not sure how much of a difference it really makes, especially as Asus has still fitted a heatpipe to the heatsinks.
