Asus Sabertooth P67 B3

I have bought all the parts for my desktop pc and just the mobo left to order.

Spec is as follows:
i7 2600k - cpu
corsair vengeance 8gb 1866mhz - ram
antec high current gamer 900w - psu
ati radeon 5770 - gpu (from old system)
antec khuler h2o 620

Is it worth getting the sabertooth p67? I don't want to pay the extra for a maximus so is there any other boards around the sabertooth price that can perform better?

Was tempted to go for that board myself but can decide now.

Depends what price you are getting it for?

ive seen the cheapest b3's going for £150 inc pp. i dont think any board can beat it in its price range but worth asking about

Thats cheap indeed

BAppleton · 7 Mar 2011 at 00:50

yeah its not bad. Im on a budget though as i plan to update my gpu aswell so hopefully i will have the money

SAbertooth B3 will not be available for around 2 weeks yet

BAppleton · 7 Mar 2011 at 16:03

hmm the board i saw says on the description its b3, and also know to check the board for the b3 mark and the box when it arrives

well there is the msi gd 65 for around £157 with 1 button overlock to 4ghz

BAppleton · 8 Mar 2011 at 18:59

Thanks but I only trust two brands with my boards and thats asus and gigabyte. Iwill probably be getting the asus p8p67 pro or the asus sabertooth p67

I saw this has come back in stock, but the price appears to have skyrocketed

It is being offered elsewhere for significantly cheaper. Is it possible to confirm this is the pricing OCUK will be offering?

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Mar 2011 at 21:02

looks to be 50 pounds more expensive,thats strange

postmanfw · 11 Mar 2011 at 21:07

Same price as the previous one was (on here at least).

I can't imagine that OCUK are going to be selling the same board as competitors for a £40+ price difference. I'd much rather order from OCUK but for a £40 difference I'm seriously thinking twice

This can be bought miles cheaper elsewhere,not sure why OCUK are charging such a premium on this.

seems a bit op I agree

i have the sabertooth great board , only down side is no front usb 3 bay included and you have to buy a fan to cool the chipset if your on water, but has uber thermal monitors plus its proven to run cooler than non jacketed version.

i've just sent my info to asus to get it swapped for the rev3

i'm a bit dissappointed ocuk never handled the swap out seeing as though they have 10+ in stock obv too much hassle getting asus to help them out i guess.

postmanfw · 12 Mar 2011 at 13:35

How is it for overclocking?

Doesnt seem to be much about it on here

BAppleton · 12 Mar 2011 at 20:44

yeah id be very interested to hear what oc you get on water saying as thats the setup im going for

avatar12m · 13 Mar 2011 at 10:56

i aint really pused it tbh i like to undervolt the cpu and crank it to 4.5 default i've had it to 4.8 pretty easy but i've allways got loads of games to play etc so don't have loads of times to push it too hard.

i run with h/t on
