We finally get our hands on the Sabranco long enough to run it through our suite of benchmarks. Does it go as nicely as it looks?


ASUS Z97 TUF Sabranco White Motherboard Review

Reading a review of a motherboard I've already bought...

I believe it was the YouTube preview where I first saw this board, and I knew I had to have it. Upgrading from an i5 3570K to the Broadwell i7 when it comes out. I've got the matching Sabranco memory and a 970 HOF. It's going to be sweet! :D

Nice review though, properly enjoyed this one. Glad I got myself one of these boards.
 
I've never really wanted an all-white motherboard before I saw this one. Now I'm looking at White GPUs and coolers too. LOL!

Good review.
 
A 9 FPS difference between the Sabranco and the Gaming 5 on Sleeping Dogs ? Seems a little bonkers.

I thought we were rid of the days of seeing motherboards dictating fps in such a huge way.

I'm loving mine at the moment. And I'm not just saying that because I own one now. It is a fantastic board.

I want to get the Avexir memory but sadly not possible where I live. Would cost me around £50 to have it shipped from UK and then I would have to pay tax for the product cost + shipped cost.

Not financially worth it.

If you can wait 5 months I could send it to you from Berlin as I'm there in June so all you would have to pay would be the cost of the memory and I could ship it to your place via my moms work using DPD which she gets free of charge completely bypassing excess charges, Plus I could put a good deed on my belt ^_^

Just food for thought dude, Don't mind helping out other OC3D'ers :)

That would be awesome dude!

I waited for the motherboard since it was previewed by ASUS. I'm sure I can wait a few months for the memory sticks ;)

Also bypasses all tax if it is sent as a "gift" mwahaha

Indeed I really don't mind doing it, Not like it would put me out of place, I would be packing some sticks into the hold luggage, Visiting my moms work, Slapping a sticker on it and sending it to you ^_^

I do it for my brother in Berlin a lot, Well twice a year as things are a little bit more expensive in Berlin in the hardware department.

Sometimes I feel like mission impossible going through the luggage scanning section of the airport if it's in my hand luggage.

Guard - "And what is this ?"

Me - "Expensive shit you can't tax me on as they are presents MWHAHAHAHA" :D

Anyway lets keep it to PM's so we don't clog up the thread :)

I usually do it when I went back to visit my parents in the UK but since my dad passed away, my mother has moved back to France. A country I used to call home but not seen in 20years lol.

Sorry to hear that :(

So is the board as smexy as it is in the video ?

ohhhh yes. I have added some pictures in my build log on here (project linnarp), but the photos don't do it justice. Im still learning with my new camera ;)

I just wish there was a way to put the back of the board on view too. I was almost tempted to Cut out underneath the desk and have a sheet of clear plexi there to show it off.

BTW the helping out works both ways. Due to the Kroner crashing here in Norway, there are some products probably much cheaper than the UK, even if you include shipping considering how strong the GBP is to the Nok now.

I used to get 15quid per 100nok. Now I get £8.20 :(

If there's anything I'd like closer to the date we can make lists :)
 
m-ATX or m-ITX?

Anyone got any idea if they will make a Sabranco Gryphon or possibly a white m-ITX version of the Sabranco series?
 
ok so think of hitting the buy button for this, an h440 the Avexir "Sabranco" Series ram and a galax gtx970 hof

does any one know how many fan headers are on this thing as in depth reviews are pretty hard to find.

cheers
