sabertooth z77-how is its thermal armor n dust defender any good? and did u oc yerself or there r options in built within it?

 

[monsta]

The thermal armour and dust defender work well, the board keeps cool and the fans are hardly audible. I overclocked it myself , but it was simple. The bios has lots of features, takes a little time to get used to. I have no complaints , went with the Sabertooth due to it being a solid board.

I have a Sabertooth X79 so the Sabertooth series is good especially for non-block OC'ing, and the warranty is 5 years, etc.

However, unless you state your need(s), use, components, etc this is all a guessing game.

For a great gaming MOBO I'd look at the Maximus V Formula/ThunderFX or Maximus V Formula the audio is superior and as I've stated before:

For the additional $40 over say over a Sabertooth Z77 (5 yr warranty) you're buying the sound, Bluetooth, WiFi and color scheme, but losing 2 years of warranty (3 yr warranty).

+1 out of the three your asking about i wouldn't personally buy none of those For a great gaming MOBO I'd look at the Maximus V Formula/ThunderFX or Maximus V Formula the audio is superior as well.

I am in the same boat I am looking for a decent motherboard in the price range of $250 tp $300 I have purchased cooler master haf x with blue led. I am considering gigabyte GA -Z77X-UP5 TH .

 

[HardwareTwitch]

hmm asus sabertooth z77 i guess cuz formula is good but with it i need all that water cooling equipments as i m not planning to get all that stuff...(budget )

for little oc and heat control i think sabertooth z77 is best bet, even with stock cooling system u can have some amt of oc i guess with no harm to hardware

 

[jaquith]

The ASUS Maximus V Formula doesn't require water cooling, the black capped barbs are there just in case you want to add it to a loop. The Pro primarily is audio, but there's also Bluetooth and WiFi (I don't recommend WiFi to be used for a Desktop PC).

 

[bigcyco1]

Just get the v-pro if your not going to run three or four gpu's TH just made it look bad with it's review trust me the v-pro is better than asrock 6 it's a joke anybody believes otherwise

 

[jaquith]

My issue with ASRock is you have to look at the 'fine print' to see where they cut corners.

+1 somebody on this forum that knows what their talking about when it comes to motherboards i am shocked :lol:

 

[monsta]

^+1

Asrock is the Diet Coke of Asus....

 

[bigcyco1]

The thing that cracks me up but kinda pisses me off not to much it's more a good laugh but i don't like that places that are suppose to be professional recommend mobos like Asrock extreme 4 yet they don't tell people most the boards die after a few months or things stop working this motherboard slips outside of typical ATX specifications. It’s 3cm thinner than a standard ATX motherboard and as a result may lack secure mounting on the far side since this isn’t a common size, which also means you should be very careful when plugging in the 24-pin ATX motherboard power – as the motherboard may flex. Yet it still get's TH recommended WTF!Lol!I really hope this forum get's back to being more professional and reliable.

People like it cos it cheap

Yeah i know but they should be told the reasoning why it's cheap :lol: it's wrong to recommend people to spend money on garbage imo

 

[monsta]

totally agree.

 

[Guest]

people dont understand or learn the features of motherboards, there is no reason to get a premium board if you dont NEED one. the $120-$160 range is best for most people unless you are doing triple-quad sli/xfire or extreme OCing or you actually need the plentiful amount of ports.

 

[bigcyco1]

totally agree.

I am glad somebody does :lol: thanks!
