Overclocking an i7 2600k on an asus sabertooth

Paulieg said:
As I noted above, it's only 8+2 compared to the 12+2 on the pro, and 16+2 on the deluxe. It's not a good idea to base motherboard purchase solely based on aesthetics.

Come on, you do realize that the choke/phases on the sabertooth are 2 times the size as the chokes on the other asus boards right?? The sabertooth has nearly the same exact power phases / chokes as the maximus board and the WS version P8 board. Why do people always think, "Oh my board has 37 chokes and a 4*16 power setup so it must be better then a board with only 8 chokes." I dont understand the knowledge:twitch:. I've had both boards the P8P67-PRO, and the Sabertooth..... My OC using the same 2600k was 200MHz higher on the sabertooth using less voltage... explain that huh? Sabertooth is a superior board hands down then the p8p67 series boards, and you do pay a small fee for it. YES, the board has a "thermal Armour" that is nearly pointless, and YES, the board is somewhat ugly.... WHO CARES!!! the board performs excellent. And maybe im 1 of the few, but I can speak with 100% proof behind my statements as i've used board boards... Some people just "TALK" cause it's what they have "READ" on the internetz forumz....... but have nothing to back up statements..... END RANT----------:D

Easy there, killer. I've never owned the Sabertooth, so of course we discuss what we've read and compare/contrast it with what we actually know. The wonderful thing about an open forum is that people can add or contradict knowledge based upon their experiences. Members before you already pointed out the difference in phase design, etc. That is good. I also had issue with the board only having support up to 1866. That was found to not be true too. That's also good, because now others considering the board may now buy it because of that information. I welcome those people in the know to challenge what I or others assume. I just prefer people not be jackasses in doing so. :laugh:
 
Consider any of the Biostar mb's...you will not be disappointed. ;)
