Covering all the Essentials of Reliability
The key emphasis for TUF Series motherboards lies in enabling prolonged use. The SABERTOOTH X58 can keep going round the clock with no pause thanks to its meticulous thermal design, which means heat and stress are not obstacles. This new thermal design revolves around CeraM!X Heatsink Coating Technology, using revolutionary ceramic application on vital motherboard surfaces and components to ensure unrivalled heat resistance and dissipation. Thus, it is the perfect choice for server functionality and extreme, steady reliability. CeraM!X application has never been done on a motherboard before the ASUS TUF Series entered service.

Reliability Tested to Military Grade
The SABERTOOTH X58 from ASUS uses heavy duty materials and parts to ensure truly unmatched capabilities in terms of stability, reliability, endurance, and value.
The chokes, solid state capacitors and MOSFETs have all been tested under the most arduous of conditions and harsh environments based on military standards, providing users with a proven heavy duty solution.

TUF Series motherboards are ruggedized from the ground up, so they can handle more than just long-haul usage and heat. They are also tested to server-grade standards and can stand up to humidity and ambient temperatures to an exponentially larger extent than normal motherboards. As a consequence, they are long-life products users can install with complete confidence.

Being strong does not mean TUF Series motherboards compromise added features. The SABERTOOTH X58 ships with new data transfer standards USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s, so it offers some of the latest innovations in addition to superior strength. It is a complete package of guaranteed reliability and compatibility.

I thought this wasnt going to be released in the UK?

Well anyway I think I know what I want for Christmas :D
 
For the improved build quality and thermal characteristics (plus the military theme), the price is really tempting against a P6X58D-E :)
 
looks cool, seems to be more of a pr excerise.. i see a lot of names thrown around
- T.U.F. Power engine design
- T.U.F. Components: Chokes, capacitors and MOSFETS certified to military standards

i can`t see myself driving a tank or putting this in a fridge or oven.
{though i can see a subzero way of using it for cooling purpose}

Have you try i7 920 d0 on this board - how far can it clock to ?
Click to expand...

no

a 920 is a bloomfield cpu

same as a 950 - they are identical CPUs apart from the multiplier

it was a bclk based overclock to see how far the board would push.

it did 4.5ghz by running 215BCLK with 21 Multiplier

this is essentially within reach of a 920
