Still going strong! This computer lives in the garage at ambient temperatures ranging from 32F to 115F throughout the years. I did a case transplant about 4 years ago and did a re-seat/re-paste of the CPU but other than a few minor upgrades (SSD and Video Card) it's been a trooper (pun intended).

@@camtech1190 I had it running at 4ghz for awhile but still on stock factory cooler. Kept telling myself I’ll get a better one when it fails or bearings make noise but it just keeps going. Think I’m going to do something about that now there’s a 3060ti founders in it.
Not the Same mobo, but got a rampage 3 gene with a w3680 transplanted into an XPs 9000! An absolute beast for what its age, able to play majority of games at 80-120+ with an rx 5700xt inside!
this mobo is definitely the best investment ive ever made, its still going strong even after having been puth through the dishwasher to clean it after being in two oil cooled pc setups, now in a fully watercooled setup. runs 24/7 no prob and can handle whatever you throw at it, thanks for suggesting it linus
I have this asus sabertooth x58 motherboard with intel i7 980X (6 core 12 thread at 3.33GHz), asus strix 1080 ti, and 6 8gb ddr3 ram sticks, 48gb ram total. Yes, it runs the 48gb ram with no problems and has been doing so for over 5 years now, 24GB max ram is B.S. This computer is a beast, runs cool with corsair h1100i v2 liquid cooler and I won't be upgrading to a new ddr4 mother board for some time. You'd have to pry this computer off of my cold dead body.
Still using mine, got it at launch. Just ordered a Xeon processor for it, put a RTX 2060 in it last week. Plays Rise of the tomb raider and Deliverance: Kingdom Come well. Was quite surprised about the last. Only criticism of this board is the northbridge gets what I consider too hot and there isn't much room for a fan near the heatsink if you have a bit CPU cooler. Otherwise it's great.
I've had this board up and running for about 3 months now. 1600 mhz Sector 7 RAM... runs great. overclocking works great, most stable mobo i have ever used.
@Ninjapcx I own this board with that ram. Not only does it work, but it works very well. I can OC it past 1850mhz just fine without any extra cooling devices. The standard heat fins on the ram works great. I have found this board and the ram to be reliable and fast.
@TekkSpekk YES it will work with i7 960... i have this board with i7 950 if you decide to get this board make sure you get the sabertooth x58 model because that is the 1366 socket which fits the i7 960
@Cruxx11111111 Three-way SLI basically. The rampage will allow you to overcloak more your processor but except those 2 things it's the same. If you are running 2 video cards or less and don't look to overcloak your processor, get this one its a great mobo.
@Cruxx11111111 I think I've found out... P6X8D-E, which is slightly more expensive, supports Tri-SLI (or tri-ATI) while sabertooth only supports dual SLI. So less PCI-E slots. Also 8-phase power for the sabertooth while 16+2 for the sabertooth ( but with better components).
@magicboy10aa This motherboard (the x58 version) doesn't have the b2 problems that the p67 model board was having, the x58 only has 2 sata III ports anyway. But the p67 version does have the B3 rev. out
Just retired this board into media/transcoding server duty. Currently running an X5670 Xeon with 24GB of Corsair's Vengeance DDR3. The onboard sound and LAN don't work properly anymore, so PCIe cards are just the remedy.
@hosrom There are Ceramic bonded thermal compounds for better heat dissipation, but I think that this one is a porous material for more surface area. Whilst the material may not be quite as good at heat dissipation, the increased surface area makes up for it. Any gains would be marginal at best but the real benefit is in the long life of the components as the coating prevents oxidizing of the heat sink materials. So in summary, same cooling(maybe a touch better?) hella long component life.
I'd have to throw out a guess that the rough paint is more durable than a flat finish and it increases surface area for better cooling, however it is probably a negligible difference.
@fahadmuneeb it has 3, but tri-crossfire won't be very good on this board, they will run at 16x-16x-4x, assuming you don't have super high end cards, they won't be crippled, but for instance, 5870 will probably lost 10-20% performance using the 4x pci-e slot.
@Ninjapcx Also, I think it is the fault of the ram, but I'm not 100% sure, but it defaults to 1066mhz. You will probably need to manually change the speed to 1600mhz in the bios set-up. If you want to ram to last super long or your system to run super cool you could just leave it at 1066mhz, lol.
@fahadmuneeb Both are pretty much the same... I think the sabertooth has a longuer warranty, so it'd be more future proof. And as for gaming, well they both have dual x16 pci-e slots, so it won't change anything. Seriously, graphics cards will make a much bigger difference than a mobo.
@InglouriousGamer2009 Just keep in mind that WoW always evolve, they can release patches that will improve graphics. So I know for a fact that a 5770 alone can run Cataclysm very smoothly even in full HD, but once they do all the changes the game is gonna ask a little more out of the PC so another 5770 wouldn't hurt. But for now, I'm sure that just 1x5770 is plenty for ultra settings if you have a good processor and adequate memory.
@mushfarm If they put the warranty on for longer than that, they are just losing money because the motherboards they put out would essentially last forever and people would never want to buy another because they could just replace a broken one not because the quality was bad, but because the components themselves have a limitation. Hope that helps.
I don't think it's bent... i want to believe the camera has some lens distortion, or maybe it's a wide-angle causing the distortion. BTW, that board looks quite awesome
Ceramic coating is used in the industry for heat. Especially exhaust, meaning it keeps the heat INSIDE and prevents heat escaping. So in theory those chips will be cool to touch but they will keep the heat inside, getting hot. Someone correct me on this.
I actually like the looks of it, it's some separation from the red and black and the blues of current motherboards. The Ceramic heatsinks are also cool.
@InglouriousGamer2009 It really depends on what cards you want to combine. I know for a fact that if you combine 2x460 gtx it's like 190% the power of one. I'd say most of the recent cards will give you almost twice the power in SLI.
@supersayianz It doesn't trash the looks like with the other stuff in your case that has black stuff ... like Black interior case , black power supply , black heatsink... etc
@mushfarm Usually it's just because the components themselves burn out after that time period. The myth about companies only giving warranties for as long as the computer will last is true. It's not like a conspiracy or anything, warranties are there to protect you from manufacturing defects, not physical limitations of components. For example, for arguments sake, if a 3V 27uF capacitor will only last 9000 hours under heavy load, then obviously, they will only put a warranty for that long.
The motherboard is great, got one myself, biggest gripe with it has to be the lack of spacing between the two x16 PCIe lanes. Basically makes SLI/Crossfire impossible due to heat constrictions, and finally the below PCIe lane is only x4, so unusable for high bandwidth cards, much to my dismay :(
@InglouriousGamer2009 I can't guarantee it since the new expansion is coming out and the DirectX11 is not fully used yet by WoW. My best answer would be for now yes, but if you're looking to buy a new pc that will last more then 1 year without changes i'd def. go for a 2nd 5770 or just for the same price a 480 gtx or something like that.(2x5770 are about 300$, wich is about the same price as a 470 gtx).
@InglouriousGamer2009 Should be more then fine. I'm currently running a 460 gtx SC from EVGA, waiting to go SLI for christmas, and I'm running it very smoothly without any fps issues, full HD in ultra settings. I'd say for WoW 2x5770 might be a little too much, but at least you'll be able to play other cool games with very high setings too.
For all the cool MOSFET - ceramix - cooling stuff I LOVE this particular model but I have a hard time diff. it w/ the Asus P6XH68D-E which is another X58/ICH10 mobo w/ USB3.0, SATA 6.0 GB, 6xDIMM DDR3 triple channel up to 24GB and the same amount of ports and slots. The only differences I've seen so far is the Realtek 892 audio chipset instead of a 889 and 1 less PCIex16 slot. Both cost approx. the same price. So I guess the 2 mobos are designed for 2 diff. types of demand... Which ones?
This is a very nice motherboard, it has all the things that I just need for gaming PC, with 5 years warranty, Asus brand, dual 16x16 PCIE for sli and one more PCIE for physx and here is my setup: Intel i7 950 Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Kingston DDR3 PC1600 12 gig WD 1tb 7200 RPM 64mb Cache Dula Processor Sata 3 600gbs speed 2 GTX 580 SLI (1 EVGA GTX 580 SC and 1 Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II) Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200w PSU GAME ON! good Motherboard :)
Noticed a lot of new mobo PCBs like this one are quite curved and don't lay flat. I wonder if the tension created when you screw it into a case will be a bad thing.
@FeuerFreiQc no it doesn't, the 1090T falls a little short compared to a i7, I've seen the all the benchmarks in some it will pass it but only by about 2-3 points so nothing really crazy plus once u oc the 920 / 930 it rapes the 1090T lol
@fahadmuneeb Hey,If you want to tell me what kind of build you'd like to put on it I'd be alot more helpfull.Heres what I think without knowing your build:This Sabertooth board only allows 2-way SLI in full mode while the Rampage will allow you a 3-way SLI in full mode.So, if you want to three-way SLI buy the Rampage III Cause it can take the three cards at x16/x16/x16. If not, take the sabertooth. Amazing mobo(almost 100$ cheaper then the rampage)and it does it all except what i mentioned.
@Cruxx11111111 older motherboards might be more expensive to make, ( less technology ) they always aim to design motherboards that have less production costs so they can bring it out cheaper on the market.
@black96fire I bought Tempest Evo few days ago, they sent me two different led fans on the front:/ And prepare for lots of noise! Buy a fan controller as well, seriously nobody can stand so much noise if you keep all fans on the top speed. However this case cools very well and looks great, will not change it for anything else.
I still use this mobo... running the newest forza right now... bought it from a guy that bought a brand new ryzen system. When I bought it he said he regrets spending all that money upgrading and didn't really see an improvement in gaming. Although we both came from console so anything above 30fps is always mind boggling for us...lol
@1991ENIGMA just with asus and that website might be getting it wrong or maybe they changed the warranty.. i got this board about 3 weeks ago and it has the 5 year warranty
when he says "download the latest drivers off the website", does that mean with a brand new build, you download windows 7 with no hardware drivers installed and then dl drivers off the website cos it sounds like that wouldnt work ...
I can picture a nice build being made out of this. Probably would be good in any system themed around a game these days (because everything is brown lol).
@54Xe not my last one this is my current one hahaha celeron d 326 oc`d to 3.05 ghz and one gig of ram and a fx 5500 from nvidia is good to play games like minecraft... yeah but i can play sims 3 on low graphics...
@AllKidsOutNow of course they expect you to have a gfx card, why wouldnt they? why would you spend the money on a x58 board and a 1366 i7 and then run onboard graphics? that literally makes no sense. thats like having a ferrari without buying tires...
@fixolas396 Yes, I'll change the 930 for the 950! I have a CM GX650... It's enough? Remember that I won't CF-X (maybe later, with a new PSU) RAM: G.skill ripjaws 1600Mhz...
Hmm i might buy this in the future to replace my current asus board, quick question Linus can you install a Creative PCI-E Sound card in the top pci-e x1 slot?
I would like a suggestion. What is memory (or kit) install on my Asus motherboard x58 Sabertooth, reasoning processes i7 950. I want to go installing gradually, in the future (2 or 3 years) to achieve maximum memory capacity of my Asus motherboard for x58 Sabertooth 24G.The montherboard comes with Double Date Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
@TechAmazingness to buy? i would get this. its performance compared to the new G1 sniper by gigabyte, is almost as good. and it's not even that expensive so if on a budget, this board is great.
why do they always say not to use the included cd, what if you are in the boat i was in and you needed that cd to get on the internet than you can update
I do want to get a xeon but i never overclocked my i7 and before i get my xeon i want to see what the difference is also thanks I got my cpu to 3.8 ghz stable
What USB 3.0 chip does it have? because some people will want to buy the board then the buy the Blackmagic Design Intensity and it requires a X58 or equiv. and the 3.0 chip has to be a NEC
Some computers aren't made of 100% metal, some got windows some are fully windowed and with lights.. So sometimes it really matters how your gear looks like..
still holds up 120+ on overwatch 60 stable bo3 1700 on civ V (is that normal?) I7 920 Asus x58 sabretooth R9 280 x 18gb ram ( 3xcorsair budget ram, 3x corsair xms 3) I think the case is a tt antec, Its just starting to lag on newer pretty games like dishonored 2 Mid graphics 50

According to Newegg it does support LGA1155 which is i3, i5, and i7.
@Cruxx11111111
older motherboards might be more expensive to make, ( less technology )
they always aim to design motherboards that have less production costs so they can bring it out cheaper on the market.
If it is the ceramic material used in brakes for cars it should dissipate heat very quickly
@black96fire
I bought Tempest Evo few days ago, they sent me two different led fans on the front:/ And prepare for lots of noise! Buy a fan controller as well, seriously nobody can stand so much noise if you keep all fans on the top speed. However this case cools very well and looks great, will not change it for anything else.
@caranddriverMing This because of budget. But I'd get the Extreme if I had the extra funds.
I still use this mobo... running the newest forza right now... bought it from a guy that bought a brand new ryzen system. When I bought it he said he regrets spending all that money upgrading and didn't really see an improvement in gaming. Although we both came from console so anything above 30fps is always mind boggling for us...lol
@1991ENIGMA just with asus and that website might be getting it wrong or maybe they changed the warranty.. i got this board about 3 weeks ago and it has the 5 year warranty
You should have said something about the missing I/O port for coaxil.
when he says "download the latest drivers off the website", does that mean with a brand new build, you download windows 7 with no hardware drivers installed and then dl drivers off the website cos it sounds like that wouldnt work ...
I can picture a nice build being made out of this. Probably would be good in any system themed around a game these days (because everything is brown lol).
@54Xe not my last one this is my current one hahaha celeron d 326 oc`d to 3.05 ghz and one gig of ram and a fx 5500 from nvidia is good to play games like minecraft... yeah but i can play sims 3 on low graphics...
Still going strong. Started with a i7 950 and now Xeon W3690
Is that a very noticeable upgrade? I still have a 9:50 and have often wondered if there was any room to improve it.
hey linus, if your reading this why do they give such a small warranty, is it because most people upgrade there parts in 3-5 years?
@AllKidsOutNow of course they expect you to have a gfx card, why wouldnt they? why would you spend the money on a x58 board and a 1366 i7 and then run onboard graphics? that literally makes no sense. thats like having a ferrari without buying tires...
linus plz do a vid on how his board performs to something like a rampage III extreme, more specifically how well it overclocks
@EnigmaTactics According to Asus' website:
2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual at x16/x16 mode)
Still running one of these in my gaming rig lol. It's old but still pretty good. Just don't like the obscene northbridge temps.
@fixolas396 Yes, I'll change the 930 for the 950!
I have a CM GX650... It's enough? Remember that I won't CF-X (maybe later, with a new PSU)
RAM: G.skill ripjaws 1600Mhz...
Hmm i might buy this in the future to replace my current asus board, quick question Linus can you install a Creative PCI-E Sound card in the top pci-e x1 slot?
I might have to get this over the EVGA SLI3. It looks amazing.
I would like a suggestion.
What is memory (or kit) install on my Asus motherboard x58 Sabertooth, reasoning processes i7 950.
I want to go installing gradually, in the future (2 or 3 years) to achieve maximum memory capacity of my Asus motherboard for x58 Sabertooth 24G.The montherboard comes with Double Date Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
@gumberly it's the camera lense at such close proximity , it happens
@TechAmazingness to buy? i would get this. its performance compared to the new G1 sniper by gigabyte, is almost as good. and it's not even that expensive so if on a budget, this board is great.
@54Xe yeah the pc is from 2005... And was a mid range pc back in 2005 but today it is crap... but i love it :P
@JSchwarze89 They perform heaps better for about the same price. The i7 2600k performs better than the 870X, which is over $1000.
BEAUTIFUL I just found what I'm using as my next motherboard =D
why do they always say not to use the included cd, what if you are in the boat i was in and you needed that cd to get on the internet than you can update
one of the best x58 boards for the price, still running my i7-950 oc'd to 4.1ghz 24/7 perfectly, just watch the hot Northbridge =P
Oleg Klyuchak my other x58 build is actually a x5670 on a rampage 3 gene, sure as hell doesn't feel like a 9 year old chipset 😂👌
Hope it works out well, I settled for a true Sata 3 PCIE Card as the marvell controllers are terrible.
can you tell me the settings you used? I have a sabertooth x58 with a 950 and i cant get it over 3.6 ghz
I do want to get a xeon but i never overclocked my i7 and before i get my xeon i want to see what the difference is also thanks I got my cpu to 3.8 ghz stable
its worth or not? i can get for Asus sabertooth x58 + i7-950 for $123?
@Nitro090995 it warped, once screwed in your case ... it should be fine
What USB 3.0 chip does it have? because some people will want to buy the board then the buy the Blackmagic Design Intensity and it requires a X58 or equiv. and the 3.0 chip has to be a NEC
@Insirion That's wrong I got 24Gb installed in my one.. ;-)
And It works.. =)
If It's so though .. why not a lifetime warranty like some of EVGA boards are?
Some computers aren't made of 100% metal, some got windows some are fully windowed and with lights.. So sometimes it really matters how your gear looks like..
Quite like the disign of this board :)!
i just realized...qdimm will prevent you from installing any memory cooler wouldnt it?
Well if you have some Noctua fans they will go well with this board.
It almost looks like Linus's T-shirt says "Hustler"!
still holds up 120+ on overwatch
60 stable bo3
1700 on civ V (is that normal?)
I7 920
Asus x58 sabretooth
R9 280 x
18gb ram ( 3xcorsair budget ram, 3x corsair xms 3)
I think the case is a tt antec,
Its just starting to lag on newer pretty games like dishonored 2
Mid graphics 50
@dgwarriors you'd want to go sandy bridge now. you'd be mad to go with the 950
