Socket and chipset

The ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel X79 chipset and LGA 2011 socket. It supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 64GB. This board targets enthusiasts building a high-core-count workstation or a multi-GPU desktop on the X79 platform. It is not suited for buyers who need newer memory standards or a different socket type.

Thermal design and power

The board uses the SABERTOOTH series thermal armour and heat-pipe layout to spread heat from the voltage regulators and chipset. This approach aims to lower component temperatures and reduce fan noise during sustained workloads. The design helps keep power delivery stable when the CPU draws heavy current. No specific temperature, decibel or wattage figures are provided by the supplier.

Included accessories

The package contains the motherboard, a single SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel. A metal battery is also supplied. There is no original retail packaging and no additional cables, SLI bridges or software media are included. Builders who need extra SATA cables, fan adapters or a full accessory kit must source them separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install this LGA 2011 motherboard into an ATX case and which step is often missed?

Mount the board using the ATX screw pattern, connect the 24-pin and 8-pin power cables, then fit the supplied I/O shield before securing the motherboard — many builders forget the shield until the board is already fixed in place.

What maintenance will this DDR3 board need later and what part is included?

The package includes a metal battery for the CMOS; replace it when the system loses the date or shows a checksum error at boot.

What limit appears first when this X79 chipset board runs sustained heavy loads?

The chipset and voltage regulators are cooled by the TUF thermal armor; under prolonged stress the armour's heat capacity is reached before the CPU hits its own thermal ceiling, so case airflow becomes the limiting factor.
