Best Motherboard I used to date

25 March 2012

5 star board, should be 10 stars!

I have recently built 2 systems for my home office, one based on Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 rev. 1.2 and the other on ASUS Sabretooth - both have similar builds (AMD FX 6-core CPU, 8GB RAM) so can give an unbiased comparison.

ASUS system was much easier to set up and runs more stable now and much faster. I did not need to upgrade BIOS to use Bulldozer CPUs, and Corsair Vengeance Memory (2x4gb) 1866mhz is working at full speed (1866 without overclocking) on ASUS - but only at 1333mhz on Gigabyte without overclocking, and "overclocking" it just to 1600 would crash the system every time.

I totally liked ASUS UEFI BIOS which is not just easier to work with, but gives much better control over all settings. Overclocking is a breeze too - in fact I overclocked my system without even knowing I did! I just pressed "performance" settings on the first screen, and FX6200 went from 3800 to 4400Ghz without a squeak. Temperatures still are well under 30C with CPU fan @ 700-900RPM! I even get warnings every now and then that it "fails" as it goes under 600RPM! Why it should go for more when CPU is at 27C?

As I set my system with Samsung SSD drive and USB3 external storage, data transfer rates were very important for me, and ASUS Sabretooth tops the charts here, which I can confirm.

I honestly can not think of anything I would like to improve here.

I am neither Gigabyte nor ASUS fan as I used both makes in the past, with mixed results, but judging on my recent experience I would recommend Sabretooth for anyone as it is 1) faster 2) easier to set up/tune/overclock and 3) more stable.

Recived the sabertooth today nice solid bord chucked my fx 8120 in it and worked straight out of the box even on the old bios 0705 now updated to 0901 for those that went out and bought a cheap am3 cpu just to flash the bios there was no need even if it did not support cpu with old bios all you need do is download the lates bios from asus and put bios file onto a usb pen drive and simply boot the pc and enter the bios go to tools and select easy flash this will detect your usb pen and the bios file just hit flash and all done.. board is extreamly well made with great feachers and bios for easy tweaking and ovrerclocking. plenty of cha fan pin headers : 5 year warranty is good to know to sllso got a cool transfere sticker that says TUF INSSIDE that i applied to the clear widow on the nzxt phantom 410; i reccomend this bord

Military Spec 'Tuf' Fast Motherboard!

11 June 2012

Verified Purchase

Here is how you tweak the Ram settings to make it work with ram other than the default standard 1333 speed

Remember - your processor has to be a more modern FX/Vision one that supports as standard 1866 RAM speed
(Phenoms and older are 1333 Ram speed or you are overclocking your processor which is why the motherboard defaults, annoyingly, to this older standard)

I bought 2 sticks GSkill TridentX 2400 cas9 8GB each (on spec not on Asus approved memory list) and they work great. By applying the following I boosted thruput by nearly extra 600MB/s according to benchmarking prog!

Look in your Sabertooth 990FX bios and find the button containing a setting called "D.O.C.P." in "advanced" UEFI bios menu.
> "Ai Tweaker"
> "Ai overclock " button > Set it to 'DOCP'

Immediately below a few previously 'hidden' ram settings are now 'revealed'!
> Click on newly revealed 'OC Profile' button
>scroll down the list of Ram Settings and at the bottom you should find
> Profile#0 (with your matching ram Cas settings)
>check they are correct & select this 'profile' and 'load' button (by clicking on the Profile #0 line)

> Save Bios > restart 'puta!

You are finished - no other manual tweaks of any other ram or voltage settings are required! (So remember to load bios defaults before applying the above - if you fiddled previously)

Now find out how to save a new 'O/c profile' in the bios (Manual) which I call "1866 default" in case it kicks you back to 1333 board standard default setting at some point! (weird to do this since you are NOT overclocking but that's ASUS)

My 2x8GB GSkill TridentX 2400 run fast and furious devouring video HD edits at over 7000MB/s
16330 MB System RAM (Score: 213)
- RAM Speed: 7268 MB/s
(This is nearly a 600MB/s improvement over 1333 ram setting - so worth applying)

Hope this helps you!

Very stable - no glitches with correct bios/mem settings
I now enjoy using the UEFI style bios after a month or so getting used to it.

I never Overclock my PC's for max data precision
'Puta is used for HD video editing and compiling hence need for minimum 16GB ram

For you to compare roughly I got

Very good and fast Board

I like the fact that you can check the various temperatures throughout the board.

beware buying the asus graphics card though, as they dont seem to be compatible.
