World¶s Leading Motherboard Maker Offers a New Choice for Users Keen on
Reliability and Durability

The new SABERTOOTH X58 motherboard delivers the latest Intel chipset and support for the
fastest processors on the market, including the Intel Core i7-980X, as part of the TUF Series of
heavy duty motherboards. It is the latest entry in this ruggedized lineup, providing
uncompromised durability and the utmost reliability to users who demand 24/7, high-intensity
usage.

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
on 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.

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.

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.

Being strong does not mean TUF Series motherboards compromise added features. The
SABERTOOTH X58 ships with new data transfer standards USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s, so it
offers some of the latest innovations in addition to superior strength. It is a complete package
of guaranteed reliability and compatibility.
