A while back Europes' media was invited to visit the lovely city of Amsterdam. At the Club Excellence, right in the heart of the popular neighborhood, the ASUS team unveiled it's new Intel 4th generation motherboard lineup. Based on Intel's Z87 chipset, the mainstream motherboard lineup got a complete overhaul in the looks department. Gold is the brand new 2013 theme, while being promoted as original, we have seen this color scheme before on several competitors boards. Look wise it seems a missed opportunity, but luckily there's more below the surface. The ROG lineup get's a new addition in the shape of the HERO version. Similar with the TUF series, were the Gryphoon mATX which sees the daylight. Sadly we are still under NDA, so remaining pretty limited to disclose most of the new innovative features. All we can do is list the basic specifications and leave you with some first impressions and event pictures.
Wer in den Genuss von neuen schnellen Festplatten mit SATA 3 kommen will, muss die dazu passende Platine oder Controller mit SATA 6GB verfügen. Eine günstige Alternative wäre der ASUS U3S6 Controller, der USB 3.0 und SATA 6 GB in Einem vereint. So könnte man seine "ältere" Platine mit dem neuen Standard ausrüsten. Wie sieht es in der Praxis aus? Hält dieses Upgrade, was es verspricht?
Vor wenigen Tagen erschien Intels neuste Prozessorgeneration in Form von Ivy Bridge. Erste Mainboards auf Basis des Intel 7-Series-Chipset wurden bereits am 8. April offiziell vorgestellt. Auch Asus bietet wie gewohnt eine große Auswahl an entsprechenden und verschieden ausgestatteten Hauptplatinen mit dem Z77-PCH an. Die robuste und mit Komponenten im Militär-Standard bestückte Variante der TUF-Serie gehört dabei zu den Oberklasse-Ablegern, die durch die einzigartigen Features aus der breiten Masse herausstechen: Das auffälligste Merkmal des Sabertooth Z77 bildet die schwarze Abdeckung, welche von Asus als "Tactical Vest" bezeichnet wird. Welche Vorteile diese Eigenheit gegenüber der Konkurrenz mitbringt und welche Besonderheiten die widerstandsfähige Platine sonst noch offeriert, klären wir in diesem Artikel.
Die "The Ultimate Force"-Baureihe von Asus setzt sich mittlerweile aus insgesamt sechs Modellen auf Basis verschiedenster Sockel- und Chipsatz-Typen zusammen. Der neuste Ableger kommt mit Intels LGA2011 sowie dem X79-PCH und komplettiert die drei aktuellen Board-Serien des Herstellers für Sandy-Bridge-E-Prozessoren. Dazu gehören neben den TUF- noch die "Republic Of Gamers"- und die P9-Platinen. Das Sabertooth X79 gehört dabei zur erstgenannten Gattung und soll mit einem intelligenten thermischen Design, widerstandsfähigen Komponenten nach Militär-Standard sowie einer besonderen Kühllösung für hohe Systemstabilität überzeugen.
Asus’s Sabertooth motherboards have proven popular since their inception a number of generations ago. Based on their widespread popularity it comes as no surprise that The Ultimate Force (TUF) motherboards are making an appearance for the ‘future Intel chipset’. A number of the upcoming chipset’s specifications help bolster the feature-set Asus implements on its TUF series motherboard.
Intel’s Z97 chipset has launched and TUF series motherboards are part of the Asus welcoming party. Sporting the new Intel chipset and old TUF features that have made previous generation Sabertooth boards lucrative components, we put Asus’ Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 in the firing line of our critical analysis.
Do Thermal Armor and military-standard component testing have a place in the consumer market?
ASUS tries to cover all the bases in the enthusiast market, and their TUF series motherboards are aimed at those who prize toughness and stability. Built with military-spec capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs, and features such as extra ESD (electrostatic discharge) resistance, the Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 motherboard also includes ASUS’ unique Thermal Armor system and a custom processor to monitor the board’s voltages and temperatures, which is part of the Thermal Radar 2 system. Of course it also includes features common to their other motherboards such as the Digi+ fully digital power system and their best-in-class UEFI BIOS to control it all. A five-year warranty tops it all off.
