The Sabertooth 990FX will come with four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory up-to DDR3-1866 MHz straight from the EFI BIOS. Socket AM3+ will support the Bulldozer based Zambezi FX Series Processors which launch later. This AM3+ motherboard will be powered by a 10-phase Digi+ VRM. But hey no tactical jacket anymore though. The TUF series (The Ultimate Force) Sabertooth 990FX is what we'll be placing under our microscope today, styled in the very same color as the earlier models with the ceramic design we see a lot of resemblances.

The changes for Z77 primarily can be found in native USB 3.0 support as well as an upgrade towards PCie gen 3 PCIe x16 slots. Good to know however is that Z77 also supports Sandy Bridge Socket 1155 based processors, that's right your favorite Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K will be perfect for these motherboards as well. These motherboards will have a slightly altered feature set and thus support them new upcoming apples from Intel. Z77 is of course the Intel chipset for the upcoming Ivy bridge based processors.

This article is a full review of what you may expect from the TUF series Sabertooth Z77, have peek after which we'll dive right into the photo shoot.

Z77 is of course the Intel chipset predominantly released for Ivy Bridge based processors. The Z87 enthusiast themed mainboard is intended for Intel's 22nm Haswell processors on Socket LGA1150. We review, test and benchmark the ASUS Sabertooth Z87 TUF series motherboard. Again cool and Quiet is enabled where the FAN RPM is set as low as possible. Peak temperatures remain decent as well, the X4 980 with its four cores stressed under Prime95 software. We are cooling the processors with an OCZ Vendetta heatpipe based cooler only and have cool and quiet activated. Processor temperatures while idle remain below 40 Degrees C based on air cooling for all three processors. The slightly higher wattage compared to reference products can be explained due to the use of extra chips on motherboards, like the USB 3.0 controllers, Hydra IC, PLX switch chip, extra SATA controllers, VIA HUB ands so on. And once we stress the CPU cores overall power consumption went up towards 203W

This is a complete PC with a high-end graphics card inserted (but GPU not stressed).īTW bear in mind that these tests are all very motherboard dependant and results can (and will) vary per PC setup. Our system idles merely at roughly 120 Watts depending on the OS energy saving setting. As you can see, once we stress all four CPU cores with Prime95 (stress test), our power consumption maxes out at just under 200 Watts. Have a look below to see how we measure and traumatize the processor. Today's setup uses the motherboard on which we seated a dedicated graphics card (GeForce GTX 580), you'll notice that the end-result overall for idle and peak wattage remains good. The Phenom II processor tested today still has that respectable TDP (peak wattage) of 125 Watts.
