The Asus SABERTOOTH P67 we are going to take a look at today comes with the exciting new ASUS EFI BIOS which is streamlined to make tweaking your setup that bit easier but the significant feature that will be on most peoples mind when you mention Sabertooth P67 is the Thermal Armour that this board arrives with. This plastic shroud has dual purpose behind it, to protect the components and to aid cooling efficiency, or so ASUS claim. The design of the Sabertooth P67 is sure to make it stand out from amongst the other boards on the market, no-one else has come up with a design like it. Today we will be revealing whether this 'Thermal Vest' really does deliver what it claims.
Sandy Bridge is now upon us and Intel has already had overwhelming success with this new platform since its release just last week. Consumers can finally get their hands on the new processors and new motherboards.
Arriving a little later than the plethora of Sandy Bridge boards now available to the consumer is the ASUS Sabertooth P67. The Sabertooth is taken from ASUS' new TUF (The Ultimate Force) series which is specifically designed for the professional that is looking for a robust and fearless design. It may have some cut-down features that you would typically find on a RoG motherboard but it still has a rich feature-set that is going to attract a lot of attention. The design is like no other, and its going to divide people into the 'love it, or hate it' camps... the term used so often today "its like marmite you either love it or hate it" springs to mind.
