Today we take a look at the sequel to one of the finest motherboards we've tested. Does the switch to P67 keep the Sabertooth at the top?

Ill answer you for it now. The older C12P downward facing cooler is better than the C14. Its no where near as good as the D14 matey.

It's the B3 revision, so totally fixed.
Like the Gskill Sniper?
I just got one of these boards, with a 2500K, 8GB Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) and a Thermaltake Frio cooler. All going good so far.
Couple things about the installation process I think might be worth mentioning.
1.) The Sabertooth comes with a sticker over the ram slots, which needs to be removed carefully, or else it can tear and leave parts stuck to the slots. Just be careful; I had to take quite a bit of time clearing small parts of sticker off >.>
2.) With a Thermaltake Frio installed and Vengeance in place in slots A2 and B2 (Asus recommend populating these first), there is *no* room left to use slots A1 and B1 with more Vengeance. The Frio blocks slot A1. Ram with lower heat spreaders might fit, I don't know.
It looks like one hell of a lovely board, and I think I'm going to have a fun weekend testing it

Too many awesome looking new boards with all more or less the same stuff on em coming out.
How's a guy to chose what to swap out for.
dunno bout this one though with the shrowd over most of the mobo, on one hand it looks cleaner, on the other seems like the likely hood of dust getting in is actually greater and then you'd have to remove it to clean it anyway. and weather it would actually help with cooling is another thing.
seems a bit pricey too here's the price at one of my local shops. Our Price: $9999.00
That must be one hell of a board

Think you'll find that's a typo.
