I'm not an owner, saying that first.

I personally think the Thermal Armor is just a gimmick. Yes it looks good and it most likely helps with temps (a tiny bit, it doesn't need the help unless you refuse to use case fans). I do like the dust protection idea, though I have a 10mm brush just for cleaning my PC lol..

Yes it OCs fine and really anything Z77 is good for gaming. Save some money, throw it at the video card. :d

Only buy it for looks, there is nothing magical about it that will let you hit 5.5GHz on a summer day.

i already have a gpu i have 2 ASUS GTX680-DC2-4GD5 GeForce GTX 680 4GB 256-bit and i love the thermal armor look and i do use case fans and im not werryed about money and jw can i fit 2 ASUS GTX680-DC2-4GD5 GeForce GTX 680 4GB 256-bit on the sabertooth plus a asus rog sound card

I would say yes you can fit the 2 graphics cards, and save your money on the sound card (unless you already have it) the default sound on the Sabertooth will be amazing enough, but like i said if you have a ROG sound card then no problem using it.

I would wait for the 3rd Gen sabertooth board as it will be more future-proof than the gen 2 board.

Yaay - someone else who agrees with me that the Sabertooth armor is a gimmick. It isn't like you are disadvantaged for not having it at all.

Something else about the board, the fans that go onto it are quite noisy and rather high pitched - irritating to most.

Good choice :) yes its an amazing board and you should have no problems making it into a high end gaming machine.

If you are already fixed on purchasing this board, then why bother asking for opinions?

I did not say it was crap. Merely that personally I find the armor to be a gimmick as very few other boards have it yet they all overclock and perform perfectly fine. I also highlighted that when I have used them (friend of mine has one), there is a noticeable noise from the fans that come with the board.
