Having just upgraded from my (2009) ASUS M3N-HT/HDMI MB to this ASUS Sabertooth Tuf MB, it is everything I new it would be. I started out using Abit MDs then went on to try ASUS and never looked back. U know what they say if it aint broke don't fix it. :-)

Sabertooth is a motherboard that any overclocker or gamer should base their build around. Incredibly powerful and sturdy, Sabertooth brings a badass look along with its name to dominate the motherboard market. Supporting all the latest cpus, having tons of space for any and all attachments.

Sturdy; Looks badass! Great features with no shortage of overclock power

There are none

For higher amd processors like the fx 9590 you will face problems till updating bios and change some bios setting. if any one facing same problems contact me by the reply option

I built an AMD FX PC about 3 years ago for audio recording and editing and it ran great. About 18 months ago I expectantly had a need to do video editing and rendering with my PC. I figured I have a decent CPU and GPU so I would be ok.

upgraded to the Sabertooth as my old motherboard was having a few off days (although from the time i ordered the new one until the time it showed up do you think my old board played up once LOL) anyway easy to setup and install board and very easy to use UEFI Bios makes it a breeze, only problem i...

I paired this mobo with an AMD fx 8 core processor and maxed out the Ram @ 32 gig. Although it doesn't support DDR4 or PCIE 3.0, for the price, quality, and shipping speed. There are very few out there that can beat it.

We are using a new addition to our scoring system to provide additional feedback beyond a flat score. Please note that the final score isn't an aggregate average of the new rating system.

Good overclocking potential; Good thermal capabilities; High-class components; Good SATA III connectivity; Good board design and slot layout; LED Error displays; UEFI BIOS

Low USB 3.0 connectivity on rear I/O; No included USB 3.0 ports

The ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AMD AM3+ motherboard is a solid board that provides a variety of high end features, including a very simple and well done overclocking interface. This board is said to be TUF, which stands for The Ultimate Force.

USB 3.0 front panel connector; SATA 6Gb/s; Support "Bulldozer" CPU; 6 on-board fan connectors; Multi-GPU for Quad SLI or Crossfire; UEFI Bios; Military grade components; Easy overclocking; 5 year warranty

Higher priced 990FX motherboard

We've had quite a large focus on Intel lately with the shakeup of B3 revision boards and the recent launch of the Z68 chipset. Now gives a time where we can take a look at something new from AMD. Yes you heard right, AMD have launched something new; the 990FX chipset.

Stable overclocks; Similar performance to the Crosshair IV Formula; UEFI BIOS; Native USB 3.0 header support; AM3+ support; Increased DDR3 memory support; SLI support; Quad GPU support; Unique cooling technology

Colour scheme won't be to everyone's taste; No massive benefit between 890FX

We've been keen on Asus' Sabertooth line of motherboards for a while. They typically offer great performance and a healthy set of features, and represent good value for money too.
