The new ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 motherboard delivers the latest Intel chipset and support for the fastest processors in the market, including the Intel Core i7-980X, as part of the TUF Series of heavy duty motherboards. As the latest entrant in this ruggedized lineup, it provides uncompromised durability and the utmost reliability to users who demand 24/7, high-intensity usage thus becoming a part of the extremely durable TUF (The Ultimate Force) series of ASUS motherboards.

As the name implies, TUF Series motherboards put reliability and endurance above all else. They are built with more rigorous stress testing than normal motherboards, and ship with added longevity measures. TUF Series motherboards are the most reliable and stable models in the market, making them ideal for tough, heavy duty tasks where compatibility is critical. True to its TUF Series form, the SABERTOOTH X58 offers superior stability and reliability, putting it at the level of server and mainframe boards in terms of durability.

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 Motherboard

On the launch of the SABERTOOTH X58 Motherboard, Mr. Vinay Shetty - Country Manager, Component Business at ASUS (India) said, "The SABERTOOTH 55i motherboard launched by ASUS in 2009 received an overwhelming response from Indian consumers. With the introduction of the extra tough and ultra durable X58 Motherboard we will reinforce our offering in the TUF series of ASUS motherboards. The SABERTOOTH X58 is a military grade motherboard and its strengths lie in its extremely durable make along with the inclusion of new data transfer standards USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s ensuring no compromise in its features. It is thus the epitome of guaranteed reliability and compatibility in motherboards."

Covering all the Essentials of Reliability

The key emphasis for TUF Series motherboards lies in enabling prolonged use. The SABERTOOTH X58 can keep going round the clock with no pause thanks to its meticulous thermal design, which means heat and stress are not obstacles. This new thermal design revolves around CeraM!X Heatsink Coating Technology, using revolutionary ceramic application on vital motherboard surfaces and components to ensure unrivalled heat resistance and dissipation. Thus, it is the perfect choice for server functionality and extreme, steady reliability. CeraM!X application has never been done on a motherboard before the ASUS TUF Series entered service.

Reliability Tested to Military Grade

The SABERTOOTH X58 from ASUS uses heavy duty materials and parts to ensure truly unmatched capabilities in terms of stability, reliability, endurance, and value. The chokes, solid state capacitors and MOSFETs have all been tested under the most arduous of conditions and harsh environments based on military standards, providing users with a proven heavy duty solution.

TUF Series motherboards are ruggedized from the ground up, so they can handle more than just long-haul usage and heat. They are also tested to server-grade standards and can stand up to humidity and ambient temperatures to an exponentially larger extent than normal motherboards. As a consequence, they are long-life products users can install with complete confidence.
