ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 Motherboard Review : Introductions & Specifications (1/1)

...สวัสดีครับ สำหรับในวันนี้ผมก็มีมาเธอร์บอร์ดในตระกูล TUF จากทาง ASUS ที่เคยสร้างความเกรียวกราวด้วยการใช้สารระบายความร้อนที่เป็น Ceramix เคลือบอยู่บนซิงค์ระบายความร้อนให้แก่ชิปเซตต่างๆบนมาเธอร์บอร์ด รุ่นใหม่มาให้ชมกันอีกหนึ่งรุ่นนะครับ โดยคราวนี้จะเป็นรุ่นที่ใช้ LGA1366 Socket โดยมาเธอร์บอร์ดรุ่นนี้จะมากันในชื่อรุ่น ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 ซึ่งก่อนอื่นเราไปชมสเป็คต่างๆของตัวมาเธอร์บอร์ดตัวนี้กันก่อนนะครับ

Overview

TUF /tΛf/, stands for The Ultimate Force.

The TUF series delivers a "tough" image. With the unique design & high quality components (military-standard), TUF series is born for pursuing the preeminent stability, all-round compatibility, and extreme durability

"Ultimate COOL!" Thermal Solution

CeraM!X - Heatsink Coating Tech.

Larger area for heat dissipation with the revolutionary ceramics-coating technology Innovative ceramics effectively conducts heat away from the system. It replaces traditional anti-oxidant to dissipate heat better with its microscopic irregular surface and enlarged area. Better cooling leads to overall improvement in system stability.

Fan Xpert

Active Quiet & Cool Fan Xpert intelligently allows users to adjust both the CPU and chassis fan speed according to different ambient temperature , which is caused by different climate conditions in different geographic regions and system loading.Built-in variety of useful profiles offer flexible controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment.

"TUF ENGINE!" Power Design

E.S.P. - Efficient Switching Power Design

Optimal power efficiency for key components Exclusively for this motherboard, the switching power design is provided not only for the CPU, but also for other key components such as graphics card, PCI slots, and chipsets. E.S.P. dramatically improves system efficiency and reduces heat generation.
