Carrying the name of the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, Socket AM3 + motherboards made by Asus is promising performance above the average for the enthusiast hardware. Actually what is on the mainboard as to embed bold Asus Sabertooth name?
What Sabertooth will actually deliver performance that is able to 'pounce'? Let's peek, what the heck is making this mainboard worth carrying the name of the ancient tiger.
All hardware enthusiast would want a computer has the best performance. In order to provide the best performance for users of processor made by AMD, Asus was trying to make a mainboard with military standards.
Even further, mainboard has also been made to implement cooling technology that is claimed to have a standard ceramic outer space.
1. Incompatible RAM Solutions
Although today has been rarely encountered incompatibility issues on the use of the RAM on the mainboard, but it was still a frightening specter for most computer users.
It must be annoying when users must return to the store where purchased pieces of RAM due to compatibility issues.
Do not want the user experience, the Asus pinning a feature called MemOK!. Features a button shaped to eliminate the possibility of incompatibility of the pieces of RAM used.
If a user inadvertently when using a piece of memory that are not compatible, it will automatically LED lights located near the RAM slots on the Sabertooth will flash and the computer certainly would not want to boot.
To overcome these problems, users only need to press the MemOK! Then hold it until the LED flashes rapidly after that by themselves going to tuning the system RAM incompatible pieces through several tests that will take about 30 seconds.
2. Powered Chipset
This is part of what makes this mainboard deemed worth carrying the name of the Sabertooth. That is a chipset that fall within the high-end. It said high-end due to the radiant 990FX chipset is capable of providing best in class performance.
In addition, for users who want to run SLI or CrossFire configuration on Sabertooth, 990FX chipset has been able to deal with the use of up to 4 pieces of graphics cards that work together or which are referred to quad crossfire or quad SLI.
So, let just run crossfire or SLI setup, configuration quad-crossfire or quad-SLI was able to swallow all at once.
3. Military Standard Components
For the hardware enthusiast who likes to crack the computer in a variety of conditions, this mainboard seems to be able to address these challenges. Asus has pinned military grade components in order to provide reliable when operated in a variety of conditions.
Starting capacitors, MOSFET to the existing alloy chokes on Sabertooth equipped with a standard of quality that has been the military.
With the use of military grade components, Asus claims the components embedded in the mainboard is capable of handling up to 40A current passing through it.
4. Cooling Space Standards
It's one thing that makes me curious, what is the actual space grade components which he pinned Asus?
Apparently is a cooling components, which by Asus made using ceramic-coating manufacturing technique. Cooling components with a 'confident' named Ceram! X by Asus does have material that looks unusual. Because Asus designed it using ceramic materials replace metal compounds are usually more commonly used.
With the use of technology Ceram! X, Asus ensuring effective heat dissipation area will increase by 50 percent better. So with the heat release process itself would be more optimal.
5. Once inside the BIOS Enough Press
Surely all computer users from simply end-user to tech-freak must have pressed the delete key repeatedly to enter the BIOS. Its frustrating when, after repeatedly pressed instead of going into the BIOS menu instead keep up the boot to the OS because when pressing the timing is not right.
It is definitely going to make a 'bete' some users. To avoid this, Asus has pinned a button called Direct Key.
Direct key is a button that will instantly bring users into the BIOS menu without having to be bothered by pressing the delete key repeatedly.
Interestingly, the Direct Key it can also serve as the on-off, so it would be easier, especially for users who have a hobby of his favorite computer crack.
