Posted August 30, 2015 I think this is the ugliest Sabertooth board Ive ever seen, Asus just lost a potential Z170 sale from me I thought the X99 was kinda meh, but this one is too ugly IMO. The Z97 Sabertooth lineup was the best out of them all if you ask me This is the best looking TUF board to me. When I make a post, unless I am the original poster or ask for a reply, don't bother replying or quoting me because I don't read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2015 Heck my Z68 is gonna last through my Master's degree at this rate. My friend's X58 rig is still going strong (just needs a GPU upgrade instead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 3, 2016 Does the cooling feature provide a significant difference? Is the dust-protecting feature also doing its job? That's one of the features that made me consider this board for my build. As for the people who says that this doesn't look good, can you provide us links for mobo's that are aesthetically pleasing to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mainly there to ensure that the motherboards components last as long as possible-not something that is as easy to guarantee with the MKII, My Z97 Sabertooth MKII has for example dead onboard audio some how (its not much of a loss when soundcards are better and will outlast most motherboards).

Posted September 3, 2016 I'm just glad they didn't make another Cabela's edition motherboard. For those of you outside the states, Cabela's puts camoflauge on everything because reasons.

Posted September 3, 2016 Asus TUF series motherboard are super cool and have loads of awesome features, especially in terms of controlling thermals remotely or physically. I wanted to get a Kaby Lake motherboard from Asus TUF series, but a white camo one like the Z170 "S" , around Christmas time. Also, i like this motherboard design... looks like its covered in a Ceramite plate lmao! Groomlake Authority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke).
