ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 1-3
Chapter 1
Extra SATA 6.0 Gb/s Support
The Intel
®
X79 Express Chipset natively supports the next-generation Serial ATA (SATA)
interface, delivering up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer. ASUS provides extra SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
with enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of current bus
systems.
1.3.2 “Ultimate COOL!” Thermal Solutions
TUF Thermal Armor
New generation TUF Thermal Armor kicks cooling up a notch with dual integrated Turbo
Engine fans. This enhances the original TUF thermal design, helping direct heat away from
MOS area components and out the case via the rear I/O section. Special heat pipes propel
dissipation from critical components and make sure temps stay low across the board. The
Thermal Armor also provides modder’s and LAN party goers an extra-cool dress up option to
show off their creativity and dedication to performance.
TUF Thermal Radar
The TUF Thermal Radar monitors temps in critical parts of the motherboard in real time,
automatically adjusting fan speeds to make sure the system maintains high stability without
overheating. It consists of multiple sensors for various components on the motherboard,
giving user the ability to monitor each one individually. The Thermal Radar automatically
calculates ideal fan speeds based on different parameters selected by users for each
component, keeping everything cooler and longer lasting.
1.3.3 “TUF ENGINE!” Power Design
New DIGI+ Power Control
All-new digital CPU and DRAM power controls work perfectly together to match digital
power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing and response efciently
delivering precision power. Accurate delivery reduces waste, and provides more stable CPU
Vcore voltages. With programmable digital controllers onboard, users can adjust CPU and
DRAM PWM voltages and frequencies for various overclocking scenarios, with accurate input
through UEFI BIOS tuning or the exclusive ASUS interface. This proprietary design increases
overclocking headroom to push performance to its full potential.
TUF Components (Choke, Cap. & MOSFET; certied by military-standard)
Get rugged performance even in the most challenging conditions with robust TUF chokes,
solid capacitors, and MOSFETs – certied through third-party, military-grade testing. TUF
chokes, also known as the “Ferrite Choke II”, is a made of compound of various types of
metal instead standard iron, enables the support of up to a massive 50A of rated current,
55% higher than conventional component. Furthermore, the single piece packaging also
elimates the emission of vibration noise, delivering superb characteristics as well as durability
under extreme conditions.
