Customer Reviews
By T. R. Kanavy "The Friendly Cyborg"
The Sabertooth P67 board is a combination of great visual BIOS and high quality hardware components(military grade). It's fantastic to work with both in the physical installation of the components as well as the BIOS management and overclock settings. The board is well endowed with SATA3 inputs of both the 3GBs variety and the faster 6GBs type. The construction feels sturdy without being so rigid as to cause fear when locking in the CPU cooling systems.
Thermal Armor-
Hype to sell units or truly effective cooling advantage? That is the question I had. I decided to update my review and add this information because it's frankly a pain to test yourself. I checked the cooling with and without the thermal armor sleeve on the motherboard. I was shocked to see that with the "armor" on it was about 3-6C cooler in some areas, even without the optional motherboard fan in place. My original hypothesis was that the sleeve was actually going to trap hot air inside and increase the temps. Glad to see I was wrong. I do recommend adding the optional motherboard fan (most are pretty quiet), as this will help bring even lower temps to the board.
The Included Software-
I am thrilled with the software included with the Sabertooth motherboard. Normally I am the kind of guy that throws the disks that come with new hardware out the window yet in this case, I find that I use some element of the software on an almost daily basis. The Thermal Radar allows you to see the temperatures at the 12 monitored sites on the board, while making fan speed adjustments as you deem fit. Very cool. The AI charger will allow you to charge your USB devices faster than ever; while the DIGI VRM program allows you to make overclock and voltage adjustments on the fly within your operating system.
Conclusion:
This is a really great board. There are many benchmarks indicating this board is a fantastic cornerstone for your Sandy Bridge PC system. The "TUF armor" looks nice and gives the board a slightly austere and sleek appearance. If you order this board you may want to look into picking up an optional fan to cool the tough armor. In order to accomplish this you want to search for a 50mm fan- which will attach to the motherboard for additional cooling.
PRO:
-Performs as well as some boards that are way more expensive (Bench marks test indicate its on par with Maximus Extreme etc) .
-Great looking motherboard (if you are into that)
-B3 revision with fixed Cougar Point chipset
-Fantastic BIOS utility
-Nice feature set for price point
-Included software tools are useful
-Plenty of I/O ports
-Front and Rear USB 3.0 configuration
CON:
-50 mm fan to aid in heat dissipation is not included
