Tempted by an Intel Sandy Bridge-E chip? If so, you're going to have to pony up another £200, at the very least, for a supporting X79 motherboard. ASUS has seven such boards in its stable, ranging from £220 through to £320. Currently priced at £250 is the Sabertooth X79 TUF.
The X79 model carries the same five-year warranty present on other Sabertooth boards and keeps the distinct livery intact. The colour scheme is like Marmite: you'll either love it or loathe it. This time around, ASUS has amped everything up another notch, and attention is immediately drawn to the enclosed cooling on the far side.
