They are both the same when it comes to 'best' Neither will be a disappointment to you. Get the cheapest.

Leandros Koutsouris · Aug 12, 2014

That's what everybody says ,give me an option .the asrock killer is 10€ more cheaper than the sabertooth .
Just tell me what would you pick man ,I can't decide what to take !

I said - 'Get the cheapest'.

Man I know that asus makes better mobos ,but this time asrock made this awesome fatal1ty killer mobo which is really good.i will keep that in my mind but need some more ideas too

legend001523 · Aug 12, 2014

then why don't you just get the fatality then, I've suggested you the asus but you don't listen... So what's the point in creating this thread?

Leandros Koutsouris · Aug 12, 2014

legend001523 :

Need some more people to tell me their opinions

danielchew · Aug 12, 2014

Ok let it just go like tgis the asus mobo has good components for OC and it is durable but the asrock is for oc also but slightly down from the asus and it doesnt have the protection from dust.. So i would say go for the sabertooth

danielchew · Aug 12, 2014

Or save your money and get this mobo https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/

Leandros Koutsouris · Aug 12, 2014

danielchew :

Hmmm I don't care about the dust ,I have some tricks about that and dust won't get in my case and mobo ,about OC ,I'm planing to over clock maybe about 4.6 or 5 not sure yet ,what I really like on the fatality is the Ping killer ,the ssd M.2is a new standard for ssds that does 10gb instead of 6gb like sata3.and I like how it looks .so you mean that sabertooth would give me better performance on my pc ?

danielchew · Aug 12, 2014

Well the sabertooth is not much for all these features but it is good for overclocking because of its thermal armour. but it depends on you wether your cooling is good enough you can use the fatality.. Thus if you want gaming performance go for the asrock and OC for the Asus

danielchew · Aug 12, 2014

Ps the asus is very stable for overclocking but make sure the cooling comes first

Leandros Koutsouris · Aug 12, 2014

danielchew :

I don't want o oc tha much ,what watercooling ?im having good fans on my case and a cpu liquid (corsair hydro series h100i)
So what should I go for ?

danielchew · Aug 12, 2014

Well this is a though choice go for the fatality if you want gaming performance and asus for durabilty..it depends on you

Leandros Koutsouris · Aug 12, 2014

danielchew :

Have you ever tried any of those 2 motherboards ?

Richi Forge VFX · Aug 23, 2014

Leandros! Im from Spain too.. and I think I understand why you doubt so much .. is clear all the answers! IS UP to you to choose! depending on your needs.. I think no one reading this has the 2 mobos! .. how you think someone could have both and tell exactly how one or the other works?! .. they already gave you best opinion! judge your self tio!

I would go for sabertooth if you want it for profesional reason, like video editing or vfx. even is 10euros more...
. go for the killer for gaming.. that one we have use and works perfect for gaming.. and features are cool .. just be sure to have some good fans in the case too.. not only for the cpu..

The Sabertooth is much better than the Killer , no contest.

I own 2 of them.

Sabertooth is the best overclocking board on the market and most durable.
