## Description

ASUS TUF Intel Z87 Motherboard; ATX, Socket LGA 1150

Review: Survived everything I threw at it... Literally... - The Sabertooth was one of my most important purchases for my new rig. I do overclocking as well as professional gaming and needed a motherboard that was better than my 1st gen i7 Asus board. This board was such an upgrade compared to my old Asus motherboard that held my 1st gen i7. This board is also built for the overclocking enthusiast! The ability for bios switching and recovery has saved me time and headaches while allowing me to overclock, customize, and run heat diagnostics within my computer. The board's plastic 'armor' is actually very important to me. I dropped BOTH 780GTX cards I purchased into the motherboard accidentally (i'm clumsy). Luckily, the cards fell on the armor and did not leave any damage, mark, or anything whatsoever! Airflow: The mobo comes with 2 optional mini fans that are able to be placed on the board. After running some thermal diagnostics, I have found that these little fans actually help get the air moving through the armor of the case very well. I have a High Air Flow case and cooling is a necessity. This board stays very cool under heated conditions (BF4 AND a 3D molecular modeling simulation in the background). I water cool my CPU but the CPU area does get a great flow of air around it thanks to these optional fans that came with the mobo. Spacing: The motherboard holds my PCI cards and my 2 SLI 780GTX cards comfortably and securely. The board sits beautifully within my case and provides a great dark-themed 'armor look to the background of my components. Bios: Very easy to use and extremely reliable (with the latest updates of course). Overclocking: This mainly depends on your CPU but the board and bios really gives you the flexibility to overclock your i7 to the max. The mobo offers bios switches in case something goes wrong. I used this as a bios recovery when I accidentally had a power outage during a bios update. Looks: I personally love the dark armor look of my mother board. I have a cable organized case that is built to showcase. The color scheme looks great with my internal lights and with my components accenting each portion. FYI, the armor can be taken off the motherboard easily! The mobo also includes plastic covers for parts of the motherboard you aren't using (RAM slots, PCI slots, etc). Overall this board is a great option for those who want to get the most of their gaming rig and i7. There are many other options but this one has provided me with the best overclocking options, the best price, and the best cooling. Great motherboard, sturdy performance, and the armor really protects the chip board!
Review: Great Motherboard with 1 Serious Flaw - I love this motherboard, my computer is a beast and I love it. Unfortunately the motherboard will only recognize one hard drive at a time. I've checked everything three times over and it all leads back to the motherboard.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What cables does this board come with?**
A: SATA III 6gb/s cables, a 2- way sli bridge, also ASUS's Q-connector for easily plugging in the front I/O. If you are interested in more information check out this overview from LinusTechTips. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hSj6Nn0DPpo

**Q: How many internal USB 3.0 connectors are on this board? It lists two, but I only see one 19-pin connector?**
A: There is only one

**Q: When I try to install "WIndows 7 OEM System Builder" to this, do I just insert the DVD or do I transfer the DVD to a usb drive and boot from there?**
A: I like installing from dvd. Make sure you have C: drive setup and every thing shows up properly in bios. read manual carefully.Also make sure you have it set to auto boot from DVD.

**Q: I want to use Adobe CS6 master collection and I want o know if this Mobo is good enough?**
A: Hi, applications such as ACS6, the bottleneck happens in the CPU, RAM and GPU not the mobo... This mobo supports the latest family of intel CPUs (haswell), 32GB of RAM up to 1866mhz, and relatively beefy Integrated Graphics Processor support. I suggest investing on a GPU though. Looking at CS6 system requirements, with mobo paired with decent RAM, CPU and GPU, you should be fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Built to Last!
*by K***S on July 15, 2013*

As a system builder for the last three years I have encountered motherboards from various companies. I was always impressed though with the Sabertooth z77 board that had go into my favourite custom build. So when it was time to build a machine for my personal use (my last machine being about nine years old) I decided on the z87. I could not have made a better decision. To start I was very conscious about dust and it's effect on the longevity of any PC. This mobo not only protects the surface of the board but every I/O port with easily removable (though not by any means slack)plastic guards. Additionally it is designed to run as coolly as possible with two assist fans that direct the airflow under the protective shielding around the CPU. Add to that its stylish military aesthetic, best in class bios and a suite of utilities that not only add functionality but are also easy to use and you have the makings of a truly great motherboard. I recommend this to any enthusiast looking for a motherboard with all of the bells and a unique array of whistles for their project.
