Sabertooth. Been out for a while through a lot of different chipsets for both Intel and AMD CPUs.

I figured it's been out a while judging from reviews but that thing looks fricking intense.

SG_Geaux has one

I have one for 1155 Z77 and another one for AM3+ that will be here next week. I have to change the sockets out on them both.

I appreciate their sleekness, but I never really cared for the sabertooth series. I prefer the aesthetics of a bare PCB, with nice looking heatsinks to match the rest of the color scheme. And those boards are textbook example of "diminishing return" for anyone who buys them for looks.


Says the guy who's spent the last few hours choosing memory based on its heatsinks.

Yep. Really nice board. Cleanest looking build I have ever built. I'll see if I can find the pic I took.

It's a good board, but there are better cheaper options that look just as good.

Edit: I dont understand why Asus still went with a Brown PCB under that black armor stuff. Brown PCB is when visible

Yeah, plenty of black PCB options that look way better.

Do you know anything about the noise of that thing? I'm looking for ways to quiet my rig. I am going to remove my extra fan on the side of my case for starters. I currently have the CM 212 cooler on my CPU with LINK this fan mounted on it.

I'm also thinking about replacing all the fans in my rig with these fans. I'm thinking they are pretty quiet.

I have read that it's supposed to be the best air cooler on the market and SG said his set up is whisper quite.

What case do you have though because the Macho is huge?

I have no idea on if it would fit in there or not. Just telling what I have read. Maybe SG will come back and help you out more.
