It's.... it's not great looking, at least not in the pictures.

Would have looked better with the thermal armour.

Yep i'm not sold on this one not like the older versions, The should have not put the brown inputs on there should have gone with White or Black

Looks cheap to me. They've cheated by making the PCB white and removing the armor.

Well the Z97 Sabranco had a white PCB as well albeit with the thermal armour, Shame they decided on no thermal armour for this one, would have finished it off nicely.

You had one goal Asus and I applaud you for it, but cmon, the brown ATX and USB connectors? So close! Maybe Z270 Sabranco? or better yet...
GRYPHON!!

Same colour as the normal sabertooth....

Yeah, I was just hoping they could go for black sockets on another product of the same generation/line is all (my cheer for the gryphon). Such effort put into new aesthetics and then these small glaring details that don't fit in you know?

Or white sockets, or gray, but the brown...these are fairly premium products, why not go the whole way with a uniform approach? It'd be like a splash of blue or green on an ROG board that is all black and red etc.

Hmmmm I had my hoes up on this one but seems this is a let down... They should have tsuck with the thermal armour and the same white - maybe with some white LED as well... A a bit like the ROG Formula but in White...

 

[Permafrost]

i still think it look tacky without the thermal armour..
