Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX RM 790.00
The ASUS Sabertooth 990FX is part of the TUF series of motherboards. If you aren't familiar with the TUF series, it's an acronym for The Ultimate Force. This particular series of motherboards goes through hell and back before it's ready for consumer use. What, in, particular does that mean? Well, the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX as well as the other Sabertooth boards are all certified to military standards for durability. There are a number of components that that make the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX part of the TUF Series of boards. Among these components are the TUF Capacitors, the capacitors used on the Sabertooth 990FX are two and a half times more durable than the standard Japanese Solid Capacitors and 1.67 times more durable than top graded polymer tantalum HI-C capacitors. The TUF Caps are only part of the mix, though; the ASUS TUF Mosfets are also part of the recipe. The TUF Mosfets are an ideal choice because they are able to sustain the thermal shock between -65 degrees Celsius and 150 degrees Celsius! For those of us here in the United States that are accustomed to temperature in Fahrenheit that's equivalent to ~85 degrees Fahrenheit to ~300 degrees Fahrenheit! The third piece of pie is the TUF Chokes; instead of the standard iron chokes the TUF Chokes are comprised of various types of metal which will deliver up to 25% higher rated current as well as better emission of vibration noise. An added bonus (according to ASUS) of not using the standard iron chokes is better antirust properties.
