ASUS' Sabertooth board has gone a little potty.
We've looked at a few ASUS offerings in the P55 Express range by now, with our current favourite taking the form of the P7P55D Deluxe (see the EVO here).
Their latest ultrapremium motherboard is called the Sabertooth 55i, part of "The Ultimate Force" series of motherboards that aim to use better quality components like capacitors and chokes, theoretically giving a longer life with better performance.
Most interesting here isn't the TUF branding, but rather the ceramic coating that has been applied to the heatsinks. A non-conductive form of ceramic, the theory behind it seems to be that it offers a larger surface area for heat to dissipate.
Whether this makes a difference in practice remains to be seen, and apart from the dreadful name - CeraM!X - it does set this mobo apart from the crowd by a little bit.
Head into the gallery of pics to see more of this board in action, and keep your eyes open for the full review in Issue 107.
