| The Sabertooth P67 generally is an interesting board. In combination with a down-draft CPU cooler to this motherboard will be cooled very efficiently. This will as a consequence extend the components lifespan. But on the other hand if you should be using a tower cooler then the likelihood for hot spots increases. Never the less, the also the "Thermal Radar" offeres good possibilities to control the temperatures and airflow in your case. Using the corresponding software one can control the fans connected to the board and therefore realize a highly efficient cooling. | - Design - Layout |

Generally the ASUS Sabertooth P67s layout is well thought. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors. Unfortunately there are no practical power/reset buttons onboard and also for a debug LED you'd be looking in vain. What has been very well thought concerns the placement of the PCI-Express x16 slots therefore nothing needs to be criticized at this point. One reason is that there are two slots between the two PCI-Express x16 slots. Another point concerns the fact that the slot at the bottom edge of the board is a legacy PCI slot which means that if you install a dual slot video card you won't block all the different headers at the bottom edge of the board. |
