Abstract: Ever since the launch of the Bulldozer range and 9-series motherboards, the initial reviews of the processors were not encouraging to say the least. Since then, AMD has decided to pull out of the enthusiast end of the CPU market, to focus in on the mainst...
Overall I have fallen in love with this board. The only complaints I have with the Sabertooth 990FX is the bus scale is a little off, and the lack of effort with the CPU-NBv. The bus scale is easy to get around. After factoring in the difference, overcl...

The ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AMD AM3+ motherboard is a solid board that provides a variety of high end features, including a very simple and well done overclocking interface. This board is said to be TUF, which stands for The Ultimate Force. It means tha...
In our previous review we praised Asus Crosshair V Formula mainboard, because it was beyond comparison with the participating competitors. Of course, the question we ask today is: is Asus Sabertooth 990FX better or worse? The correct answer will be: t...
Although the AMD 990FX is primarily a simple rebadging of the previous 890FX chipset, ASUS has taken this opportunity to make a number of new features available to AMD users. One is the addition of their UEFI specification BIOS interface, which simpl...
We were pleasantly surprised by the Sabertooth 990FX’s performance, both at its stock speeds and when overclocked. It consistently held its ground against much more expensive motherboards and put others to shame with its excellent SATA performance and ...
