No one looks at the spec?

Heh, Sabertooth got my vote too. I almost went for the Sabertooth X99, but the 3.1 USB won out in the end on my MSI Krait.

The urban camo is seriously nice though.

Dempsey22 · 4 Feb 2016 at 14:03

Is there any reason why the Z97 equivalent to the sabertooth is more expensive than the Z170?

If you don't know, you should look it up. They're not Intel....

And no, I've never heard of them either.

Caracus2k · 5 Feb 2016 at 17:59

10gbs networking! Hope your willing to stump up another £680 odd for a suitable switch like the business class Netgear xs708e otherwise its pretty pointless.... Elite tier indeed!

CaptainBlack · 5 Feb 2016 at 18:49

Really digging the Sabertooth board. Would love one of these in my planned future first time build.
