sup3rfly — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:05:56 +0800

ASUS Sabertooth 55i Motherboard

Introduction

ASUS sent me a nice looking motherboard for testing and review this time. Being one of the top motherboard manufacturer, they are constantly enhancing their motherboards with user friendly BIOS interface, effective cooling system, high quality components and not forget to mention stability of the motherboards.

Motherboard that I am gonna review this time is the all new Intel i5/i7 supported motherboard Sabertooth. Ok, cut the story short, lets check out the motherboard.

The nice looking box, cool huh?

The back of the box, explaining the specification of the motherboard.

This picture is displaying the special feature of the motherboard. Let me put them down into words instead.

CereM!X heat sink design
Larger cooling area for maximum heat dissipation with the revolutionary ceremics-coating technology
CoolMem! Fan Frame
ASUS Sabertooth included a fan bracket that used to put a 40mm fan on it to cool down the memory, this helps in improving the system stability and the lifespan of you nice memory.
E.S.P. aka Efficient Switching Power design
This provide an optimal power efficiency for the key components.
TUF Cap. & MOSFET
The capacitors and MOSFETs that are used on this motherboard is certified for tough duty.
MemOK!
Any Memory is A-OK. By pushing the MemOK! button, the motherboard will determine the failsafe settings that can dramatically improve the system booting success and get the system running in no time.
T.Probe Technology
The T.Probe microchip detects and balances the power phase loading and temperature in real-time. This feature optimizes the power phase functions, allowing components to run at lower temperature and extending the lifespan of the components.
Drive Xpert
ESD Guard
EMI Eliminator
Q-Design
Onboard switches
Q-Connector
10 Channel Audio

Certificate of Reliability

lets check out what components ASUS has included in the Sabertooh.

1 x IDE cable
1 x 2-poer USB 2.0 and 1-port eSATA module

Mission Determination of New King of Air Cooling

sup3rfly — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:49:10 +0800

Test Bed:
Processor: Intel C2D E6700 L628A303 @ 3.2GHz @ 1.4 Vcore
Mobo: DFI Dark Infinity P965s
Memory: 2 x 1GB Team Xtreem Micron D9GMH DDR2 Special OPB Edition
Graphic Card: XFX 6600 GT
PSU: FSP Fortron Epsilon FX700-GLN PSU
HDD: Maxtor 20GB IDE 5400 RPM Hard Drive

Contenders:
1. Noctua NH-U12F
2. TR Ultra-120 eXtreme
3. Xigmatek HDT S1283

Software Used:
Coretemp 0.94
Orthos Beta
Windows XP SP2

Test Method:
1. This time I have gotten myself a temperature probe to measure the ambient temperature and we found out that the ambient actually fluctuating a lot. The result will include the ambient temperature as well for better judgment. The result might not be 100% accurate as it might be affected by the mounting method, temperature fluctuations and user error.

2. The Fan speed is kept at the speed of 1600 rpm as the main objective of this test is to find out the best heatsink that can be operate in silent mode.

3. The Idle Temperature is measured after the system left open for 5 minutes and the Load Temperature is measured after 10 minutes of Orthos Stress. Coretemp 0.94 was used to get the value of the temperature for each of the criteria, idle and load.

4. This test will be a open bench like what we did on the first roundup, TIM that is used is Arctic Ceramique also as it doesn't need any curing duration. This time the amount of TIM that I applied will be slightly more as many forumer mention that the amount that I applied is too little.

5. I have slightly modded the mouunting mechanism, its the same as the water cooling mounting mechanism.
