ASUS SABERTOOTH P67 Reviews

April 22 2011 review by hardwareheaven

The performance this mobo is great, matching or exceeding mainboards the reviewers have tested previously and in each one of their tests it performed flawlessly and there were no stability issues. The manual overclock achieved was superb. The OC Tuner software works well for novice users, so they also have the ability to maximise the performance of their system.

Features such as EZ-Flash for quick, easy BIOS updates via USB are great. AI Probe is one of the most complete software solutions available for a mainboard around thes days. A 5-year warranty is more than you would get in most cases.

The Sabertooth P67 is really a great mainboard. Installation is very simple. The reviewer had no trouble with any aspect of the setup. The TUF thermal armor doesn't get in the way of components like the video cards. Long an intensive usage is what the Sabertooth is made for, with its ESD guards, Anti-Surge protection and TUF components.

This mainboard was not compared to another board.

Quality, stability and durability that was first priority when the ASUS engineers designed this mobo, extreme overclocking came second in place, for overclocking the new P67 Maximus seems to be a better board. There are no onboard reset and power buttons, next to that there are no voltage measuring points like on some high-end boards, and there's not even a clear CMOS button.

Overclocking:

An Intel Core i5 2500K was OCed @ 4.7GHz

The design of this mobo is outstanding, with its new thermal armor, TUF components and lots of other features. Overclocking was limited by the 5500MHz barrier, allthough a 61% overclock isn't bad. Compared to a much cheaper motherboards on the market, it's of course a real winner.
