what do you want to do with it? MSI has a set of features almost purely geared toward gaming. while the sabertooth has a more balanced set of features, and that controversial thermal armor that half the community thinks is useless (I have yet to see definitive testing/reviews showing that it actually does anything; tho the sheer fact that it doesn't INCREASE temperatures is pretty amazing)

There is a thorough review I read a few days ago about the thermal armor and it basically does lower temps by a miniscule amount if set up correctly (like 1-2 degrees). Plus it does act like a dust cover, but it's debatable if that is all worth the $20-30 they charge extra for that. You pay more for the look than the actual practicality of it. Personally I think the msi board still looks better for $40 less.

I think I've read a similar review a while back, and yeah, I'm love the look of the MSI board. heck, I'm going for an ultimate gaming rig (both asthetics and performance), and I'm almost considering the MSi board over ROG XD
