ASUS Sabertooth Z77 review - Product Showcase

The entire motherboard is covered by a plastic shield called TUF Thermal Armor. Included are two fans which you can choose to use to cool down essential components on the motherboard. Passive cooling however works perfectly fine. Regardless, one fan can be positioned at the rear IO. And if you look at the square cover in the middle, that's where you can place a second one. If you use them, always place them in a push pull configuration.

To the right you can see an 8-pin power connector for the CPU. The board has a 8+4+4 power phase design. As for memory, it is a dual channel memory architecture. The board itself supports a maximum of 4 DIMM up-to 32GB of DDR3-1866/1600/1333/1066MHz. XMP profiles are supported of course.

When we flip the board around we see the 24-pin ATX power connector to the left,  in the middle a USB 3.0 port connector and then the plethora of SATA ports. Let's zoom in at that, next page please.

ASUS Sabertooth 990FX review
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. But hey no tactical jacket anymore though. This AM3+ motherboard will be powered by a 10-phase Digi+ VRM. Socket AM3+ will support the Bulldozer based Zambezi FX Series Processors which launch later. The Sabertooth 990FX will come with four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory up-to DDR3-1866 MHz straight from the EFI BIOS. What you'll also notice is that the TUF (The Ultimate Series) has four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 PCIe graphics card slots based on what you use the slots for of course. Interesting fact is that this motherboard series now is SLI compatible.
