I love it
Pros: It is just great! Lots of space, grat number of fans, and easy to work with. I looks great, and air flow, air flow air flow.
Cons: The fan pins for the front pannel control will not fit the AeroCool Shark 120mm Black Edition 120mm Case Fan, i had to hook them to the MoBo. Case is some what taller than most mid towers, but not really a problem if you have room for it.
Overall Review: This was a great buy for me i love it.
Sad
Pros: The UEFI Bios is really great and works well.
Cons: The system does not stay cool. I had this in the Corsair Carbide Series 500R, alot of air flow and open space. The boad still have high temp. The MoBo, after two monts of use start to rest set on its on. After about three times it started to give the the BSOD with error code 124. I sent it back to asus and the returned it in about two weeks. Now it will not even go into the bios. I have no idea what to do know. I sent to MoBo to be fixed and it came back in a worse state. This is a big let down. I was really happy with this build until this took place.
Overall Review: This is the second Asus board i have picked up from Newegg, the other one was in 2009. It is the one i am on now sending this. I have built two other computer with older asus boards no problems. This is the first time one has given me problems. Also i have the R2.0 and it also does not work. So i just think that the Sabertooth line is not ready for real world play.. Lets get the QC back to what it was.
Wow
Pros: This moves air like no other. It is fast at low settings and faster at high settings. I love it and i love the rubber pins that come with it. Great buy.
Cons: .....
Dont do it!!!
Pros: ......... UEFI Bios is really cool...... thats it.
Cons: I got this one and it was DOA. I thought it migt be something with the other products that i have alont with it but no. I took it to a PC shop here in town, they told me that it was the SouthBridge not working with my ssd ( OCZ Vertex 4). Did all the up dates to the bios and the ssd, still no luck. I but my ole HDD into the comeputer and i got the same BSOD with the 124 code. So i will waste more cash to try and get it fixed. I get BSOD all the time and Windows will never boot. This MoBo was a replacement for the first Sabertooth that will do nothing now.
Overall Review: This product looks great on paper. I have with it: CPU: FX 8150 RAM:G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR SSD:OCZ Vertex 4 PSU:COUGAR COUGAR-GX1050 1050W Video Card:XFX HD-697A-CNDC Radeon HD 6970 I was going to do a RMA with new egg but i dont not have to box it came in so i cant. Will contact Asus for help. But now it have two MoBos that dont do jack, Lost cash. Sad.com!
Still going strong
Pros: The sound is amazing. I have owned them since 2010, the highs and lows come invery well. When connected to an optical out the channel distiction is is very clear. I use them to play C.O.D. and BF3, they alway give me the upper hand when it come to finding enemys. Headset also has a very high confort level.
Cons: Only problem I have had so far is the power connctor. it stop working on me after 4 weeks. Being that i have all types of old power cables i was able to find two that fit. I did not look in to a replacement do to that.
