ASUS unveils TUF Series: Sabertooth X58 heavy duty motherboard at Rs. 17,250

The new asus
Sabertooth X58 motherboard reportedly incorporates the latest Intel
chipset and support for the fastest processors in the market, including
the Intel Core i7-980X, as part of the TUF Series motherboards. It is
claimed to be built for rugged use, provide uncompromising durability
and the utmost reliability to users who demand round the clock usage
without compromising on performance.
The TUF series motherboards are reportedly designed to offer
durability and reliability under stressed conditions and hence find
their applications in server and mainframes. The new Sabertooth X58 is
to endure stressful working conditions, with due credits to its
meticulous thermal design incorporating CeraMIX Heatsink Coating
Technology. This technology is said to adopt revolutionary ceramic
application to ensure unsurpassed heat resistance and dissipation on the
motherboard surfaces and components.
The Sabertooth X58 from Asus reportedly uses heavy duty materials and
parts to ensure greater stability, reliability, endurance, and value.
The chokes, solid state capacitors and MOSFETs have apparently been
tested under the most stringent conditions and harsh environments based
on military standards, providing users with a proven heavy duty
solution. It is also said that the motherboard is designed to endure
humidity and heat even at peak operation.
