ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
A very good motherboard from Asus, after installing the hardware when I turned it on the CPU fan try to spin and i had to restart 2 to 3 times. Then it works fine. Due to this problem i had to replace the Cpu fan with Corsair Liquid CPU Cooler CWCH60 Now the system works fine.
I installed Intel Core i5 2500k, Corsair Vengeance Blue 4 GB,Seagate ST2000DM001 Barracuda 7200RPM 2 TB SATA 6 GB/s NCQ 64 MB ,Samsung SH-222BB/BEBE 22X SATA DVDRW ,Cooler Master Elite 430 ,Corsair Builder Series CX600
Corsair Liquid CPU Cooler CWCH60.
I have used this board for a a few builds now and it has been rock solid in every single one. I have had no problems for over a year now and no reported problems. No boards had to be rmad. If you need an 1155 slot board this is a very respectable choice. If you need wifi,bluetooth, and an on board audio card get the vprime but in my experience those things really are not needed by most users. The 5 year warranty is a nice piece of mind as well. I highly recommend this board.
Pros: Absolutely no problems with the install. Lots of little extras come with the board. Manual is good and addresses most issues. I was using an EVGA X58 motherboard before this and the new UEFI BIOS in the Sabertooth is so much easier to use!! Four Sata 6.0GB and four fan connectors are a plus as well. Seems to be good build quality. After several weeks of running conservatively o/c it's been rock solid!
Cons: None so far and I hope it stays that way!
Other Thoughts: Install the tiny little accessory fans first! Once everything else gets positioned, installing these is much more difficult! Paid $239.99 which is probably high but I'm very satisfied with the Sabertooth.
Fue exactamente lo que solicite. Funcionó de maravilla. Recomendada la compra ampliamente, es bastante rapida la tarjeta. Yo misma ensamble mi computadora y fue una excelente compra.
Other than the dust protector for the PCI-E and DRAM slots, I'm not sure how much real benefit the thermal armor adds, but it does create a nice clean aesthetic that other boards do not have. The board is very well laid out with good spacing and placement of drive connectors, power, fan connectors and headers. I also like that the board comes with two optional assist fans to help make sure that the board is well ventilated under the TUF Armor.
The inclusion of four USB 3.0 connectors on the back and a front panel header is fantastic. Also, one of the back panel 3.0 USB includes an option for Fast Charge, a software enabled option that provides additional charging capability for smartphones and tablets. Speaking of software, the included software suite is very robust and provides intuitive solutions for monitoring temperature and fan speeds and also provides simple tweaks to get more out of your processor and RAM without actual overclocking.
I did run into two minor issues with this motherboard. The screws for the optional fan covers were either machined oddly or screwed in wrong. For the lower optional fan, I was able to remove three screws without an issue, but the fourth screw gave me serious problems. Fearing damaging the screw or the assembly, I went through my entire collection of Phillips heads to finally find one that worked without forcing it. Also, the I/O shield has a "puffy" surface that faces towards the motherboard. This extra quarter inch of foam caused the mobo to not line up with the mounting spacers without putting pressure on the side of the board or the mounts themselves. Fortunately, the foam padding was only attached to the I/O shield with a very light adhesive and was easily removed. Just for reference on this issue, I put this board into a Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower w/ SuperSpeed USB 3.0 w/ Window w/ Black Interior ATX Case (RC-942-KKN1).
