    Default Asus Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard Review (with OC GTX680)

    Intel have a busy month in April, launching their 3rd generation processors within a couple of weeks time. Today however they release their much awaited Z77 platform, with a raft of motherboards hitting the market from all their partners. Under NDA we have to wait until a later date to publish next generation Core i5/i7 results, so today we will take a look at one of the many boards we have in our labs when paired up with a Core i7 2600k.

    The Asus Sabretooth Z77 looks to be another quality product from ASUS and we will overclock it to the limit and pair it up with an overclocked Asus GTX680.

    Nice review. I was considering this board, but the colours seem a bit off for my case.

    TTL> (even though he doesn't really do unboxings)

    Linus has no personality.
