Is the Asus Sabertooth worth it?

[Minty649]

Hi, i am currently looking into buying a new motherboard to handle my new processor(FX 8350). I don't think i will be overclocking any time soon, i might in the future but nothing extreme. i have been looking at the gigabyte GA 990FXA UD3 (rev 4)which is priced around £100.

So as the title says, is the Asus Sabertooth worth the extra £30

I have 2 revision 2'S and my son has the original 990FX . never had issues with any of them.

It is definitely worth it and I prefer ASUS over pretty much every other motherboard company.

well I hope you the best with it me my buddy and his son all been down the sabertooth 990fx road and we all replaced the boards with another brand and rma one back to asus just to get one that was someone's rma referb in return that did not work funny thing all the parts pulled off the asus worked fine and stable on the outher than asus boards all 4 of them

ya, we fell hard on that asus hype on them boards and them saberteeth sunk in hard in our billfolds

I do hope you good luck and have a issue free build with it
