Fancy!

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Glad they changed the Deluxe boards back to mostly black but that board still looks ugly.

Is that seriously camo on the sabertooth board? Lol. Fortunately I won't be going into war so I'll probably pass on that.

I dont like that cammo but I do usually like the features of the TUF series boards. Do you think that Sabertooth Z87 will be overkill for a 20th anniversary Pentium.

(P.S. please say no ;) )

Might as well ask here, but are the new Intel chips going to work just fine on the Z87s or do I need to jump to a Z97?

Still that overused red and black.

As long as people keep buying them, ASUS will keep making them... Sadly...

Pretty sure the upcoming refresh will.  After that, Z97 only.

Is that a black and silver board!!?? No red? No gold? If so, it's perfect!

 

That's the only one I think has potential too.  Hopefully we see more from the plain Z97 line.

Holy mother of balls and all that is righteous I hope that Z97 Deluxe has a PLX PEX chip.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I don't ever recalled a 'ranger' skew of boards, plus it looks like a hero with the exception of the chokes.
